Below are 7 different strategies that you can use to get your content indexed by Google VERY quickly.
1. Comment on High page Rank Blogs
Blog owners frequently add new content all of which will eventually get indexed by Google.
I have found that by posting a comment on these recent posts (i.e. within a period of three days) there is a strong chance that when Google’s spiders pay a visit to that blog it will follow your blog comment and also index YOUR site in the process.
All you need to do is search for blogs that have recently added content. Commenting on a high page ranked blog is even better as Google spiders frequently re-visit high page ranked blogs/sites.
2. Linking from your Forum Signatures
Most forums allow you to have a forum signature with a link to your website.
If you utilize this opportunity and add a link to your site, every time you post in the forum, you will not only add a black link to your site, but also add an opportunity for search engine spiders to index the post and follow the link back to your site and index it.
By following this strategy the more forum posts you make the more chance there is for Google to follow your link and index your site.
3. Social Networking and Blog sites
It is evident that social networking sites are prime places for getting indexed by search engine spiders FAST.
This occurs because spiders are frequently crawling these sites looking for new pages and information which they can add to their index of web pages.
I would make an effort to sign up for some high page rank social book marking sites and add a bookmark. A useful list can be found here.
4. Submit articles to places such as ezinearticles.com, goarticles.com etc
Search engines spiders are constantly indexing these authorative article sites as they are packed full of information and search engines (such as Google) know that it would be beneficial for them, to add articles to their indexed web pages as it will help them provide more information for searchers.
Remember, Google’s main objective is to provide quality information to its searchers – articles provide this information.
5. Set up a Squidoo Lens / Hubpage
I have also found Squidoo lens get indexed by Google VERY fast. If you decide to use the Squidoo format I would include a link to your pages from the lens as this will most likely result in Google following the links to your site and getting your site indexed as well.
6. Pinging
If you run a wordpress blog, then by default, every time you post new content a ping is automatically sent to a number of providers, notifying them that you have new content on the site.
However, I have found that some of these “free” pinging sites often feature sites which are offline, or simply not working.
Recently I have used a site called Kping, and their pinging services – and have been quite happy with the results. Some brand new sites I tested using this services got indexed within a few hours.
They have compiled a list of 60 different sites which they automatically ping when notified that you have added new content.
You can sign up for a $1 trial for 30 days and see the results for yourself.
7. Add a link from your own site
If you have a site with a high page rank, often adding a link pointing at the domain will result in spiders following that link and indexing new content.
This tactic can only be applied however if you have a site with a page rank, or access to a high page ranked site where you can place your link.
Remember: Google has spiders constantly searching through the web looking for new content. It starts spidering pages in its index from Page Rank 10,9,8,7 and so on – indexing any new content along the way.
