i know this is going to sound like a stupid question but you dont learn without asking. i started a blogspot blog a couple of hours ago and promoted it on 2 diffrents sites and when i type the url in to google it already show up on there listing is this right i thought it took alot longer for it to show up on google?
Once Google finds out about a site, the rate at which Google indexes a site is entirely up to Google. Google being "backed up" can lead to slower indexing, but they are usually quite fast. The fact that you used Blogspot may help, as it is a Google owned platform. When I create sites, a new site's traffic report usually shows Google spidering the site within an hour of submitting a sitemap (no backlinking needed to spur Google on). Getting indexed is not the hard part. Getting good traffic and good search engine positioning is where the challenge lies.
thanks for the reply. just a heads up i just clicked on your links and your sites dont seem to be working.
One thing I learned, yesook, is to clear my cookies/cache on my computer too before checking for my own site. I used to use http://www.scroogle.org to see where my site showed up in rankings, but it hasn't been functioning anymore.
thanks mynamewillbeusername. and a quick update adsense have just approve my application and i applied to them a couple of hours ago. im having a good day today lol
We are just the same. After an hour I search my blog on google. BANG! and I got it. google already index it.
Hi you create you blogger a/c and after that create profile and you post some content google crawler first content is the fast but after that submission you content withing a 15-20 days and that time not google crawler your post because content is best for submission.
When I first set up cheap-plr-articles.com it appeared on page 1 of google on the same day for the keywords "cheap plr articles". It then stayed on page 1 for about 4 weeks, then dropped to about page 5 and is now back to page 1. I don't know how Google do things!
I've had blogs show up within hours. It all depends on how fast the Google spiders "find" your site. The more backlinks you get the quicker they will find your site through other sites that are already in their index. The best thing to do is start getting backlinks immediately, but only a handful a day at first.
Don't wait for Google to find your site through backlinks. You can submit your sitemap directly to Google to get crawled. If you are using Wordpress (self-hosted) for your blogs you can use a sitemap plugin (like Google XML Sitemaps) that not only updates your sitemap automatically, but will submit your sitemap updates directly to the major search engines (Google, Yahoo, Ask, Bing).
One of my sites has not been indexed for 4 months now. I think there is an error now with the XML structure
It all depends on if google can find your website or not. Sometimes google will be very quick at finding it and other times it wont. From there, its anyone's guess how long google will take to index the site
mhovingh is right. Using google webmaster tools to submit your site and have google diagnosis the problem, should be mandatory. To goes for all any new blog/website. I just want to add that if you also use "google website optimizer" which is also a free tool, it allows the user to optimize conversions. I would also advise to have a site map on your website/blog to have the crawling a lot easier.
