You can also do one more thing, just copy your article title and put it in google search with "" and search it, if your article is indexed it will show on the top of the search.. and if it is not indexed you have to just put your article URL in the webmaster tool that's it!
Have you sign up the Google Webmaster Tool? If yes, just go through its dashboard and click onto "Index Status" to see what is your article's status currently. . . . Google index Index Status Content Keywords Remove URLs Crawl . .
Sounds like good advice to me. I use the site url approach as described above as it works best for me.
And just a reminder, if you want lightning-fast indexing. Go to Google Webmaster Tools > Crawl > Fetch As Google > Enter the file name of the new page in the Fetch box > click Fetch > then in a few seconds when a new Submit to Index button appears, click Submit. That's it. I added a new page today this way. When I checked 10 seconds after uploading the page and "Fetching" it, there it was already in the search results. This lightning-fast indexing happens consistently if you use Fetch As Google each time you add a page. P.S. Another good way to get immediate Google recognition for a new page is to make a post, with some relevant text and a link to your new page, in your Google+ profile. Not surprisingly, a search for the new page's main terms usually brings up my new Google+ post on the first page of the SERPs within a few minutes at most.
Two more thoughts on the above discussion: 1) When I upload a new page, I immediately "Fetch As Google" that new page. That way, it's a virtual certainty that Google will have the new page cached and on record as being my page, in case of any later duplicate content issues caused by someone else copying the page. 2) If you have a Google Custom Search box on one of your pages, when you upload a new page, "Fetch" it first. Then go into your Custom Search account and add the new page. Google is quite good at caching pages that are using their products. If you're unfamiliar with "Google Custom Search," you can see an example near the top of my www.jimfeeney.org home page. To add your own, Google adding a Google custom search box for details. It's easy, and it can help people stay on your website if the page they land on isn't the one they want.
I allow the pages to be indexed naturally - and the fastest way to achieve this is through social media links such as Facebook likes and Tweets - around 5 links will do the trick. The main advantage of this is that Google will pick up on any changes you make to the page after it has been indexed and will keep a fresh coy of the page in their cache.
Well, the best way to do is copy some part of the articles and search it under quote "abcd is a good ....." over the Google if it's cached by the Google then you will appear in the search result.
Unless the title is just a copied content from another blog/website. Then you could find your website in a position like page 5-10+
