Getting idexed is frying my brain

[Anoopchawla]

Hey warriors, recently I noticed that it is getting harder everyday to get indexed in google especially for web 2.0 properties.

2 weeks back I made a blogspot wrote two posts, pinged it, bookmarked it, wrote 12 articles submited to ezinearticles.com, rss'ed it, but still its not indexed.

The same case is with the link funnel I made using 2 web 2.0 properties last week, none of them is indexed till now.

What the heck is this? Am I the only one having this problem or google has changed something

I have only done websites on my own hosting but have been indexed within 48 hrs each time by simply adding adsense to the website and "Digg" ing the site. If its a wordpress site, I also add the feed to my google reader.

We actually did a little free report on this a couple months ago when we saw it heading this way. It's not necessarily that they have been slapped, but they've been "slapped"...make sense?

The sites themselves will still gain PR just like they did before, and in some cases even better and faster, but getting them indexed, and actually ranked is a whole different story.

Best practices with them:

Don't post any links on them until they are indexed
Don't build any links to them until they are indexed
Don't build the typical "link wheel" type deal with them

6 months ago even it wasn't uncommon at all to see sites like hubpages, squidoo, and the free wordpress blogs ranking well for some really decent keywords - not so much so anymore...keep your eyes open and you will spot the trends.

Yahoo is faster I believe.

Or you could pay a guru. lol

ezines are good for indexing... pretty much guaranteed.

Jeremy If I should not make any backlinks to them until they are indexed how the heck am i supposed to get search engines crawling my webpage. I read of Jonathan ledger's blog that google has started to give even more imp. to links and it won't index any webpage without backlinks pointing to it.

Anyways, to try and know the reason I did try different things on different web 2.0 like I made links to some and some were left. Some were used in link wheel and some were left alone. But still the result is the same for everypage :none of them is indexed even after a week

Leave them with no links and maybe just ping them at your ping service of choice, and I can almost guarantee that they get indexed faster...you might also think about posting content today, pinging today, submit content to the same property tomorrow, ping again, and submit RSS feed.

Leaving links off at first does a couple things

1. It stops the actual parasite from deleting your page - Hubpages, squidoo, wordpress, google knol, and several other parasite hosting sites routinely delete pages that are put up if there is even a hint of it being promotional. So, get passed the human review before throwing up any links

2. For whatever reason, Google is indexing these sites faster if they don't have any links on them...it's been this way for a couple of months now.

Jeremy I really appreciate your help, Can you tell what specific route you take to get your web 2.0 properties indexed nowhere days.

Just to back up Jeremy's points, I started a new blog last week. Didn't link to it at all with the exception of linking my posts to my Twitter account (which is also fairly new) and after making about 4-5 posts it was indexed. So it was either the simple matter of posting, which sends an RSS feed and pings automatically, or the Twitter connection, and it was picked up in nothing flat. I still haven't linked to my blog, which reminds me, I need to add it to my WF sig file.
