I've been using a very nice tip that will index any page without pinging. After doing this... my pages show up in the SERPs in seconds! Google+ Profile Shares Here's How it Works: Unlike simply +1'ing a URL, a Google+ "link share" must be done from a profile page. You can't simply throw a bunch of +1's at a link, you must post the URL on a profile page for this to work properly, and you must use the link sharing button. It seems that it might not always work for brand new profiles. Make sure a few people follow you first, this only takes a few minutes. I've been using this instead of Pinging, its from google's own home. This method is safer and its directly from google themselves. A Word of Caution: At the moment, this is extremely effective. However, I would imagine that there should be some caution taken when you do this. Don't over-do it, and don't submit garbage URL's.I only do this a once/twice a day max. I have 500 sites, so for me to only do this a couple times a day says something. Be sure to only use this method on good sites.
Very good tip jokerlilia, I just joined this site today and was looking through the post and ran across yours. I discovered your the share button trick by accident some time ago. One other thing for anyone reading this post is to utilize Google Analytics. Submit your robot.txt file, and sitemap. One of the most important things you can do is check for crawl errors. I have had clients call me wanting to know how they can increase their rankings, and for several I have found that they were doing well with everything as far as backlinking, SEO and SEM but their sites were not being indexed well. The problem was discovered in the crawl error stats. On slow servers the Google bot will not, can not crawl the site due to the server timing out and what you will see in many cases are high errors page counts. The solution is either work with the host are change host. Just another tip bit I hope it helps.
