Any Google SEO Expert? Help Needed

Hello,

I have a test site with domain Trueflick The issue is that I want to know something about indexing in Google.

From past 5 days I have been embedding or adding 2-3 videos daily with a gap of 1 hour or more in my site and exactly after 3-4 hours all the videos are indexed.

Now yesterday, I added 6 videos at a single time out of which only 2 videos were indexed. According to me the cause can be posting them one after 1 but then how does these huge sites like dailymotion and metacafe get all there videos indexed without any issue?

Can an expert give me some advice on it but I know that the site is of low quality because this is just a test version for a brand new site and I am learning the google behaviour.

What should I do. Keep adding videos or give time intervals. I don't think that the other 4 videos will be indexed by Google in future but the question is that why aren't they going to be indexed?

Thank You

    I'm far from an expert, but I could tell you that there is no definite rhyme or reason to Google's indexing.

    If I make 6 new pages for my website and put them on the sitemap, then submit the sitemap to WMTs, the next day I may find that only 4 or 5 of those pages are indexed. A couple days later I will see the rest have been indexed. Why not just go thru all of them the first time? I don't know.

    That was mostly at the beginning, though. Now when I add pages they will usually all be indexed quickly. I assume as the page ages and builds authority Google is more likely to spend time there indexing it.

    Ok but my domain name is old one and has good number of backlinks to start with but my site is new. I just created it on 30 May 2014 so I guess I should wait some days until Google starts indexing but what if Google does indexes those links even after waiting some days? What should I do then?

    Google purposely does not crawl an entire site every time it visits it.

    Popular sites like DailyMotion and MetaCafe, Google is going to visit many times a day. Your site... You'll be lucky if Google visits once a day.

    The content will get crawled eventually. It is nothing to worry about.

      Thank You for the answer and I have noticed that after posting content on my site Google indexes it in 3-4 hours but I just have a doubt that the content which Google ignores will be indexed by Google or not in its next visit. Thats all

        Add a plugin that automatically shares your posts/videos on social media (Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Pinterest, etc). If you can build powerful landing pages on Facebook and Google+ (at least a few hundreds of targeted fans: by interests, even location), then your new posts ca be indexed even in seconds...

          indexing time is of no importance. SEO is a long term project and it makes no difference if your content is indexed within hours or days. Only rankings matter for traffic.

            Agreed. it doesn't matter how quickly your page get indexed, the only thing that matter is if it rank well for your desired keywords.

    They have plenty of xml sitemaps which are most likely submitted to WMT, plus their robots.txt file. Once the robots.txt includes the xml files & the xml files are submitted to WMT, indexing is pretty much automated. There's at least 2 ways for Google bot to easily find the URLs without sifting through deep links.
    • hxxp://www.dailymotion.com/robots.txt
      • hxxp://www.dailymotion.com/map-regular.xml
      • hxxp://www.dailymotion.com/map-videofull.xml
      • hxxp://www.dailymotion.com/map-videolast.xml

    • hxxp://www.metacafe.com/robots.txt
      • hxxp://www.metacafe.com/gsm_index.xml.gz (compressed xml file)

    I wouldn't worry about it. I found when I first started out that being impatient was my own worst enemy.

    These days I never ping or purposely push anything. I submit a sitemap one time for a site when it's new and that's it.

    Slow and steady is what wins the game now days, and it's less work. Just be patient and don't worry about it.

    If you feel as though you need to take action then go fishing.

    I've been fishing 3 times over the last 48 hrs and watched one of my newly back linked sites move up from 38th spot to googles 18th spot for it's primary key phrase, so if you feel as though you need to do something effective fishing seems to work as well as anything else. Later today I will drink some cheap wine and see if that increases it's rankings even more between tonight and tomorrow.

    Don't even try to tell me that my tactics don't work...

      Sounds good to me - I think I'll switch over to kid carson's SEO technique. Is it okay if I substitute beer for cheap wine? Will I still have the same success?

        I would run the exact brand of beer that you've selected by Mike Friedman to make sure that your efforts are being maximized properly. If he's good with it then your odds of success will be a lot higher.

        He is the quintessential authority on the SEO beer combination.

        If you want to know about cheap boxed wine, then I'm your man.

    Hello! New to SEO eh?

    Those sites that you mentioned, metacafe etc have hundreds if not thousands of PR 5 & above backlink juice. crawlers jump around websites you know. SItes with huge base of backlinks get crawled pretty much every single day/hour.

    You might wonder, 'well how the heck, should I get my site indexed if it doesn't have any backlink?
    Create a sitemap and submit to webmaster tools! Submit it every time you have fresh and hot contents, until a point when you have quality backlinks that gets your site "connected" to the rest of the websites in World Wide Web.

    Thanks & Warmest Regards,
    Hasel
