Getting Indexed Within Seconds. Are You?

Hi all,

I have a new blog. Less than 3 weeks old. I'll 'fess up...it's a blog promoting an upcoming launch.

Thing is, every new post I make is getting crawled, indexed and ranked by Google within 5 minutes...

5 minutes...Sometimes in less than 60 seconds! I just posted...4 minutes. BOOM. Crawled. Ranking.

I'm used to seeing this stuff in established sites, sometimes.

...not in brand new ones, every time!

Weird (in a nice way)

Anyone else?

Steve

    you have absolutely no guesses as to why this may be happening to you?

    I'm not sure why the selectiveness, but I'm typically developing my sites around the Wordpress platform and I've definitely had a few of them get indexed very quickly.

    Not every site gets this treatment, but even just yesterday I posted several new posts to my newest Wordpress blog (I bought the new domain name 1 week ago) and by evening it is getting top positions in Google for various long tail keywords. I haven't done any link building for this new site, or any promotions really except a link from my Facebook page.

    I'm curious to know if anyone else has picked up any patterns on why this happens to some blog sites. Not that I am complaining one bit.

      On most of the sites that I run WordPress on, I find that they get indexed extremely fast. Sometimes in just a couple minutes.

      My guess would be that it relates to pinging, sitemap, or the RSS feed that Google probably picks up and is automatically notified when a new page goes up.

      I have found that some of my non-RSS/pinging sites don't get indexed anywhere near as fast.

        Yep, my guess would be the WordPress blog pings. I set up another blog on a subdomain of a site of mine this afternoon and it's already being indexed. :-D

    It might be the default pinging of Wordpress. Those get indexed quickly.

    If you post daily, you get indexed within minutes. I have a site where I was posting daily, even a couple times daily and it was indexing within minutes. I thens topped using the site, let it sit around with nothing new. I then made a post, took a week or two to get indexed. Made a second post and it took about a week. I am posting daily again on it and stuff is getting indexed within minutes again. Google likes daily updates

      Blogspot also is indexed fast by Google. When I posted a new article and after approximately 5 minutes, I checked my blog's indexed pages in Google, and to my surprise, I saw my new blog article listed in it. It's a good thing though, but I suggest that before you post your blogposts, make sure that it is free from errors and it is in your most desired format. Do some preview in order to check how your post will look like while still in the process of editting your post. Don't just click on the 'publish' button and then click on 'edit post' again if you want to add more or make some correction, because Google might index an unfinished post immediately.
