Using Digg to index a new page?

I'm a little confused about how to go about getting search engine credit for original content. Lately, when I add a new article to my site I make sure I get the new page indexed before publishing it elsewhere, like on EZA.

For a while I submitted my new page to Digg to get it indexed quickly on Google. This worked well the first couple times but after that I started noticing that only Digg's url showed up in the listings and it took several days for my page to show up, even though I also ping it and resubmit my xml sitemap to Google.

This time I decided to make sure Google sees the content on my site first. So I have not submitted it to Digg or other bookmarking sites. Two days ago I uploaded the new page, submitted a new xml sitemap to Google and pinged the page. Still not indexed.

What am I doing wrong? Or am I just too impatient?

I've read recently that even after submitted a sitemap you will not get a page indexed unless it has external links pointing to it. So should I go back to using Digg for this purpose? And will this give me original content?

Thanks for any advice.

  • Hi DavidO,

    I love it when someone answers their own question when they summarize their problem.

    Your statement: Provides your answer.

    If you want your pages indexed faster, then get those backlinks. Just get many more from many locations if you want your page to rank higher than those that are linking to yours.

    Google will crawl your site more frequently after it notices that you have lots of fresh unique content during each visit. The less often you post new content the less frequently they will crawl your site.
