Quite honestly, if I put up a simple html static site with 5 pages, it gets indexed within a couple of days. I don't do any directory or search engine submissions. Then I start adding to it. If a site is too big at first - maybe that's creating a red flag. My mini-sites also have a privacy policy and contact page. Do you have those?

I've been having luck getting new sites indexed pretty fast (couple of days) recently by adding them to my Ebay blog. And the Ebay blog is pretty new (few weeks old). All I do post a blurb about my new site and then use pingomatic or a similar service. Has been working like a charm, at least in April. Who knows what next month will bring? LOL

Hi, I am also having the same problem. I have also done it before but can't seem to get it done with all the article submission to ezinearticles, social bookmarking etc that I have done. can anyone having succes indexing a site within hours help me out? am getting frustrated.

Within 24 hours you can get indexed but that would depend on waht strategy you would be using...

Sometimes it can take up to 6 months to get a site indexed.. there's short cuts but if you're new to SEO (the tools only perform a function they don't teach you the theory) and if you're entering a competitive niche there's a good chance that Google is waiting for you to prove your worth.

With new sites it can be sometimes best to actually not SEO at first.. in fact all SEO should really be built up over time because if Google suspects you're trying to influence your rank it can bite back pretty hard.

When you buy a domain name, buy it for at least a couple of years.. the more the better. Thousands upon thousands of fly-by-night sites start up everyday and you need to do all you can to set yours apart.

You will get indexed eventually.. but don't rush it, don't rush the backlinks (you only actually need 2 backlinks although the more the better) but make sure the backlinks you have are relevant to your niche.. once you hit 100 content pages or so Google will start to view your site a bit more seriously.

Of course you don't need 100 pages, but if you can make them it won't hurt you.. just as long as you don't mess around with your update frequency too much. What I mean by that is..

If you're updating with 10 new articles everyday then start updating with one new article a week, Google is going to change how it views the value of your site.

Likewise if you start updating at once a week then zoom straight into every day, Google may think you're adding content too fast. So start as you mean to go on.

Use this time to prove to Google that your site contains real value to surfers.

If you just want a quick hit get mentioned and linked to from a site that's in the Google News aggrogator, that gets my sites (when I do that, which I don't very often) indexed in a couple of hours.

You also gotta look at other sites you own.. if you own several sites and they are all of poor quality, Google knows and will probably assume that your latest site will be same. Also make sure you're hosted on a clean server (no porn, spam etc).

Best of luck

less than 4 hrs most of the time for my brand new sites.

Cant it sometimes take months to get indexed ?

about 24 hours. I just book mark it at propeller and its in pretty quick.

It doesn't matter what method you use, if Google doesn't want you, it won't index you. So, you need at least a few pages or posts or blogs for it to crawl when the bot arrives at your site. It needs to be quality, unique content. Add the site to your Google Webmaster Account and submit a sitemap, Digg or Mixx an post, I'd say that's about it. I've not really needed to do anything else to get a site indexed from new.

i actually wrote an article on this.you can find it by searching for the phrase:
"How to Get Listed in Google in Less Than 48 Hours by Firdaus Hafetz"

It may not be perfect, but it did work for my websites.

I tried this Markus Allen, all it does is add it to your own searches!!!
