Hi DP members, Blogs are easy to index with in minutes, hours, but web sites are for index takes more time. why it takes more time? Thanks.
Do you mean wordrpress/blogspot blog or self hosted blog? If you say wordpress/blogspot blog it's because this blog pages get indexed really fast because they have really fast crawl rates. Due to the high trust and PR associated with the domain the googlebot comes more often to the sites to crawl through the pages. as said by Shellerz and it make sense to me.
Maybe because of the pinging It's not just because of the site itself - I have a site with a blog where a blog entry gets indexed in a few minutes, but a new static page elsewhere on the same site will take days or weeks.
Yes blogs are index quickly as they are frequently updated and search engine love that but it is not with website as they are less updated. Other then that Wordpress blog has the feature of notifying search engine.
Google love blogs because they are updated with fresh content frequently and blogs associated with Wordpress and Blogger are naturally easy to crawl. A standalone website with no backlinks is difficult to crawl so it takes more time to index them.
I've run into the same problem. I have two similar domains. One I put a blog on and it's already indexed the other a static site that I'm still waiting on and it's been about two weeks. I've done the social bookmarking and such and still waiting...
indexing and bot visits are based on the backlinks you have on other trusted domains / websites... the more your site have the more it will be visited, simply get more links to your website and you will be fine
Although I dont know for sure. I wager ensuring your site is on Google analytics helps a lot on getting your site crawled and indexed quickly
