Get Indexed In Google In One Day
September 26th, 2007We all know how much of a pain it can be to get your site indexed in Google. It can take upwards of a couple of weeks. But we want results fast! All of our usual techniques don’t always produce a fast enough turn around for our liking. So what do you do when you don’t want to wait?
I am about to let you in on this secret. Well, I like to think it is a secret because nobody ever told me about it, and my blog, my rules! Ha…anyways, I digress. So what is the secret to getting your site indexed by Google within a day?
Digg.com.
Ah, yet another promotion use for Digg. When I first launched AbstractPromotion.com, I had a handful of articles already written. Naturally, I submitted them to Digg, hoping to get a few visitors from them. The next day, just for giggles I thought that I would check Google and see if they had indexed my site yet. Lo and behold, I noticed that all four of the articles I had submitted to Digg.com were already indexed, before Google even crawled my front page.
Wow! That was fast, I thought. And now I always do it - publish a new article, immediately digg it, and start getting search traffic from it through Google.
So there you go - I hope you can put this technique to good use :)

Thats a good idea. However there are soooo many other method too (Yahoo Answer, Forums, Craigslist, etc).

Very true - so there is no excuse at all for not getting your articles indexed within a day or two!

Yes the best way to get indexed is to be “indexed” by a site that is constantly crawled and indexed itself. Another twist on this is to place a mini-”sitemap” of other pages from your site (or other sites you have!) somewhere on the page you are submitting to digg/reddit/StumbleUpon. SO, when the submitted page is crawled and indexed by Google…guess what else is likely to be followed? Yeah. The links you placed on the page. The caveat? Don’t have a bunch of stuff on that page. In fact, no OTHER outgoing links would be ideal. Just you nice optimized page with its content, a nice small quantity of deep-links to sites you want crawled (with good anchor text) and that’s it. Submit the hell outta the page, and check those other sites and I betcha you’ll be happy with the results. (BTW I personally use digg reddit and SU a LOT, as well as Pingoat. My magic formula.)

Great idea Plepco! Google now takes sitemaps, so it is definitely a good idea to have one and submit it to google - the bonus is that whenever you add a new page and your sitemap is updated, you can ping google again with the updated sitemap. Wordpress has an automatic plugin for this.

Hi Nick - you know I hated Digg, because nobody dug me, not matter how outrageous my titles were. But, you’ve just given me a reason to keep on digging.

Digg does seem to be hit or miss, Catherine. Writing a great title does not guarantee that you will get a good amount of diggs. I think a lot of it comes from users who are reading your article and then click “digg this” instead of users who are searching through digg and find your article.

Thanks Nick - so it sounds like I probably need one of those Digg buttons on my posts. Where do you get them? I did find one plugin but I can’t get it to work.

One of those WP plugins only will add a digg button to your post once it already has incoming diggs. The buttons you see at the end of my posts are from a plugin called Sociable

Excellent advice from the article through the comments. I’ll definitely implement this into my blog as soon as everything is running smoothly on the new host. To add to the article it helps to have creative title’s to lur visitors in. Thanks for the tips.
