I've seen people asking how to get their blog posts indexed fast. My personal favorite method is to promote links on FaceBook and Twitter, but also to have a massive list of ping services in WordPress. Here's a list I've personally put together. (you can insert them in your blog from within your WordPress control panel - Settings - Writing - "Update Services"). PS: If you know of any ping services not in here, please let me know so that I can update the list (and update my own WordPress installs). Hope you find it helpful: 1470.net/api/ping a2b.cc a2b.cc/setloc/bp.a2b allstuffweb.com api.blogblogs.com.br/api/ping api.feedster.com/ping api.feedster.com/ping.php api.moreover.com/ping

(I'd say seconds, but don't want to seem braggy). Enjoy.
And this is because it didn't get indexed when you posted (as you alerted the SE's by doing so) the post why? Have you got the right settings on your WP blog? Or did you not realise the G etc know when you post?
The truth in your statement varies on a site to site basis. Some sites are crawled pretty much constantly meaning new content will appear in Google search within seconds/minutes- but other sites (particularly if they are less than 6 months old with a poor update history) might have to wait days for the next crawl. Irrespective of the above, I'd advise against pinging any links unless you feel they may not be founded naturally by G. WebDev
