How do you know when an article has been indexed?

13 years ago

In Google go:

site:yourdomain.com

That will bring up a list of all the pages Google has indexed from your site.

If you have many pages to sift through you can narrow it down by using

site:yourdomain.com "keyword"

That will bring up all the indexed articles from your site using that keyword.

No need to go through that entire process, you can just paste in Google search bar the specific url, it should be the 1st result once it's indexed.

How long should it take? It depends on many factors of your site, such as page rank for example. You can learn more form Google here How often does Google crawl the web? - Webmaster Tools Help

Unless Google is spidering your site everyday, it won't show up indexed until the G spider has visited your site. Try pointing some new links to the article to speed up indexing.

All I do is paste a ten-word chunk of the article (that runs across a sentence-break) into Google, between inverted commas. If it shows up in the SERP's, it's been indexed.

Search engines go through a learning-curve with the frequency of updates of your site. When a site's fairly new, it can take much longer for fresh content to be indexed. I update each of my sites with a new article every 10 days, and Google normally indexes the new content within 12 hours (occasionally 24 hours). Good luck!

How many sites do you update?

I ask this question, because I'm trying to get into a groove with my writing gigs. I have my own site, write for another auto news site part-time, and just started writing for examiner.com...and on top of that, I'm starting a (temporary) full-time job next Tuesday!

Heaven help me...LOL

8.

I'm in 8 different, unrelated niches.

So I give each one a new article 3 times per month, and that means I have to produce about 24 articles per month. It's enough!

Yes, I've noticed from comments here that you were "doing a bit more writing"! Best wishes and good luck for the temporary job - hoping it's as temporary as you want/need it to be.

Content on your website wouldn't always get indexed so fast. Sometimes it could take days or even a few weeks if you just left it on there. If it's there then good, if not...

Maybe share the post on a few social sites and social bookmark sites and hopefully that will be enough to spruce it up and into the SE

If you publish frequently, Google will index it in a matter of hours (sometimes sooner)

Warrior Forum is a perfect example of this.

Just enter any text from your article into G00gle like this :

"here are some random words from a random part of my new article"

If it shows up in G00gle, it has been indexed. If not, you can help it get indexed faster by tweeting your post on Twitter, post it on Facebook, bookmark the new post on StumbleUpon, Digg, Folkd, etc. --- Don´t go over-board though....

The normal reason for article marketers to be concerned about this is just to be careful not to have any additional copies published anywhere else until after the copy originally published on our own site has been indexed. It's a fundamental aspect of any form of article marketing/content syndication: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...eza-first.html

It would be nice to think that was the only reason.

Unfortunately however, I still think there's a lot of people who just like to search for their blog entries in Google for no reason whatsoever, apart from feeling all "warm n fuzzy", 2 minutes after they've published them.

Good answer, though.

This is also true. :p

(But I happened to know from other threads that Beatrice was asking for the first reason!

).

Feeling warm and fuzzy LOL! Once an article has been indexed it acts as a Green light for me to start the ball rolling (ie. syndication, etc.)

  Not at all. But when I want to feel warm and fuzzy I wear a wolly jumper (much quicker than writing an article)
  
  All the best!

Alexa took out the words "right out of my mouth" I don't even think I can tweet about it or ping it until it has been indexed.

If your website has been indexed by Google and your article is live then it means that either article has already been indexed or might be indexed soon. If you want an article to be indexed soon after making it live then try to submit the link to social sharing sites and to everyone in your network.

What i always do after i posted my article, i check it on Google if its already indexed after 24 hours, and most of the time it is already indexed. You should also need to check the competition of the title that you are using and off course the keywords before you post your article.

You need to check with google...site:yourURL.com

To get your site indexed there are few ways to do that..

I use magic submitter function which is called fast domain indexed to get my new site getting indexed fast..

or you can make manual comment at high pr blog with do follow...

feel free to see how I did it from scratch at my signature below at video # 4 - website creation...
