I just want to take my first shot at IM and wasn't sure what the process is for indexing your site on both.

Please help. Thanks!

  • The best route is to create webmaster accounts with both bing and google and submit your site along with an xml sitemap to each webmaster tool. It will help the search engines index your site faster.

    • You can submit your site manually, but it can take up to 6 weeks to get indexed.

      A much faster way is to create an account on digg and/or stumbleupon and link to your site with a social bookmark, you should get indexed within a few days.

  • Thank you for the info Lloyd
  • If you submit your website sitemap to Google webmaster and Bing webmaster account than they will find you quickly..

    Usually they takes time to find you but if you do the above steps, they will find you quickly and index your website on search engine much faster and you might get visitor as well..

    If you are using wordpress than use the plugin Wordpress SEO Yoast, if you go to the plugin section and click on popular than you will see this name..

    I hope this help you..

    • I wouldn't just leave it sitting. It would likely take a little bit of time to discover if you don't tell anyone about it.

      Ping your website and all it's pages.

      Search for IMT Submitter in google and submit your site to about 2500 places.

      This will ensure it gets crawled faster.

      Then try social bookmarks and commenting on blogs with a link back to your page.
  • I find that setting up my site on BOTH Google Webmaster and Google Analytics does the trick in almost every instance!
  • If you use Wordpress there are several plugins that build you xml for you. If you don't have it get your webmaster tools account up, and then upload the page and verify it. Then, be sure to get links to your site as well.
  • Ping your site That will get the search engines to see it.

  • It seems that Google is not indexing new sites that much faster nowadays.
