If we have a new site,how long does it take for a search engine to crawl that site. Does this hold the same for a blog as well? Does a search engine like yahoo, google pick a blog automatically after going through add url submission?
Search engines follow links. If you have links to a new site on a site that gets spidered frequently search engine will find you quicker than if only link comes from a site that gets spidered monthly.
Thanks spirit walker. Does this hold the same for blog as well? Or is there any different mechanism you need follow for a blog. Basically if i do a seach by name of the blog it doesn't even come in the search list especially in Yahoo. That's my confussion?
I think it is all about links. If you have a big site a search engine will not necessarily crawl entire site at once. It keeps coming back.. Try a fairly unique phrase that appears on your blog and see if you can find that phrase on any of the search engines.
And also with your blog, add your rss feed to the main directories and especially add it into your my yahoo account if you have one. This will keep them all coming back to crawl your site more often and pick up extra data that you are posting. Plus the traffic that they can send to you Brad
I did nothing, my blog is just about 10 days old but its added in google. I have not put my blog link to any other website (Just here at DP, I add RSS feed). But, I have a website whcih is about 2 month old but stil not available on Google. althouh I have used several seach enginge submission tools.
I don't recommended using search engine submission tools, this will hurt your site...some search engine submission tools submit to "bad neighborhood" sites or even spam/blocked sites mark by google... its better to do a manual submission, remember the better category you are linked, the better serps you will get.
