Quick Indexing In Google

I am often asked how to get indexed quickly into Google. I am usually pretty good at this and I actually enjoy doing it quite. This is exactly what I did for a friend a week ago on his brand new site. I followed a set procedure that works for me in about 2 days, usually. This time it smashed my 2 day record and the site indexed in just 2 hours.

Amazing, right? I’ll just say how I did it. I guess I should preface this by saying that this was for a straight html page.

The first thing I did was create an rss.xml file (RSS feed) for the single page site and put a link to it from the page.

The second thing I did was write up a post about the site, with suitable links, on a wordpress.com blog that I keep primarily for this basis. I chose the tags for the post carefully. I chose related tags that are quite active on wordpress.com and a few that were less active.

Next, I used a pinging script that I got a year ago for some website. I had it first ping the wordpress.com blog to 23 sites that accept pings. Next I pinged my new site and its RSS feed. I waited about 30 minutes and manually edited my site’s rss.xml file to show an updated post time and then resubmitted the site to the 23 sites that accept pings.

Within two hours of doing the first work, I checked in with Google and sure enough, the site was already indexed. I was shocked! The previous best time had been 2 days.
