I have been saying a lot of questions here on Indexing blog posts,so I thought let me write this post and I hope it helps someone.

1.Create a sitemap: If your site doesn't have one, then head over to Google and search for "Google Sitemap Plugin" to install the Google XML sitemap. What it does is to inform the search engines each time a new post or page is created, so the search engines spider can crawl it.

2.Ping it. You can just grab your blog post URL and go over to pingfarm.com or pingomatic.com and submit it and your blog will be sent out to pinging services and this also helps greatly especially for new sites.

3.Site Age and posting frequently: Generally if you have a new blog and you are just creating your first post it might take up to a few days or even a week before It get indexed. But as your blog begins to mature or as your post frequently, this duration will get smaller and it would start taking a few hours instead

      I'm not sure why so many indexing threads but it's pretty straight forward process If your in a hurry:
      1. Build an xml sitemap
      2. Add xml sitemap URL to robots.txt
      3. Submit xml sitemap to WMT (test the URL inside WMT)
      4. Fetch both the xml sitemap & robots.txt URLs as Googlebot

      That's two ways to put a list of internal URLs in Google's face without waiting on Googlebot to crawl a site looking for deep links.

        Great advice here. I also submit my site to Digg when I feel like it is taking a little longer than usual to get indexed. Each time I submit it to Digg I feel like it gets indexed pretty quickly.

    I have got a better idea.

    Increase your blog authority and grab some backlinks. Google will start indexing a lot faster.

      Yes, I agree with you. Some high quality back links will help our new website or blog get indexed by Google fast. However, it is a little difficult for us to get high quality back links unless you've already have a mature website and then you can give a link to your new website or blog.

      Anyhow, thanks kennethchooks for the great post. Frankly speaking, I have never used the ways including creating a XML sitemap for my blog and submit my blog to pingfarm.com or pingomatic.com. I will surely test the ways you mentioned above.

    Is Digg worth using? I've had success with Google by following the above site map submission via WMT but would deb useful to try get some traffic from another source.

    Another trick I use to index my blog posts quickly is by embedding related youtube videos on them and then use a plugin to create and submit a video site map. Most of the time when I do this, my posts on a totally new website get indexed within a few hours.

    That is exactly what I do except I most often use sitemap hack afterwards. It pretty much gets indexed right away.

    Using blogger or wordpress will also help your blog get indexed quickly. Wordpress is the best S.E.O friendly blog software out there. Google owns blogger. Google Search really loves these two.

    It's the last one that really matters IMHO, Google doesn't care about your blog if it's not aged IMHO. You can ping all you like and upload all the sitemaps in the world but if you launched yesterday you're not getting Google traffic, period.

    If your site is aged and you still can't get it indexed within 10 minutes there's something wrong.

    I really do not understand why so many people care about this. Unless you are posting time sensitive material (which 99.999% of you are not), it is completely idiotic to waste your time worrying about it.

      It depends on what your trying to do.
      • Like you said time sensitive is one reason.
      • Video thumbnails is one reason.

      Really I don't get why anyone wouldn't build/submit an xml file. Once it's setup/submitted it's all automated showing Google/WMT a list of all the URLs on the site.

      Which is easier, me handing you a list of URLs (xml file) or you doing all the research to find the same URLs (bot crawling site over long period of time looking for deep links)?
