Get indexed by Google!Do you have a newly set-up site and would you like to get indexed by Google as soon as possible? In this post, you’ll be learning how to get indexed by Google in LESS THAN 24 hours — guaranteed!

I know that there have been tons of articles regarding this topic, but I have been researching and experimenting on this subject for some time now, so I can say that I know how to get indexed by “The Big G” quickly. I assure you that this article is worth the read since there are some tips which can’t be seen in other articles.

Submit your URL to Google. Some people do not know this, but Google allows you to add your site to their “list of new URLs to crawl”. By doing this, you are notifying Google that there is a new site on the web that needs to be added on their huge collection of indexed websites. Add your URL to Google now.

Start your link building works right away. Right after submitting to Google, start building some good backlinks. This will help your site get indexed because the sites that you get links from are already indexed by Google and thus, they’re being crawled by the search engine. Don’t overdo the link development though, as this may seem suspicious to the search engines. Around 15-30 links are fine, even if they’re just from web directories or forum signatures.

Use social bookmarking sites. Social bookmarking sites like StumbleUpon can help your site get noticed by search engines. Not only will they help in indexing, they will also give you some visitors. The visitors may or may not be interested in your website, but at least your site got some exposure already! Here’s a list of social bookmarking sites for you.

Have a couple of unique content. Your site, even if it’s new, must have some content so that Google will give importance to it. What will be there to index if you have nothing in your site but a “404 page not found”? Another reason to make sure that you have some good content on your site before you even publicize it is to give something to your visitors when they visit your site. What would they do on a page where it says “Under construction, check back soon!”? I bet that they’ll be disappointed and never visit your site again. Make the search engines happy, make your visitors happier.

Let your site be reviewed by others. There are sites and forums which offer free reviews for newly built sites; post a link to your site and ask for some reviews. By doing so, you get a link from the site where you posted your review request and other people get to know (and hopefully like) your site.

Leave a comment on related blogs. When you leave a comment on other blogs, a link to your site can usually be added to your post (with your name as the anchor text). Visit related blogs and add your website so that a link to your site is obtained. This will help a lot especially if the blog where you commented is getting frequently crawled by Google. Just remember, DO NOT SPAM! Leave useful comments, don’t just say “nice blog”, try to post what you think about the article or something like that.

Use viral images to your advantage. Funny, weird and/or puzzling images spread like a virus, so use them wisely. Host some of these images on your site, send the pictures’ URLs to your friends and surely, they’ll pass it on to others. The more people know about the image, the more they’ll be intrigued on the “host” of the picture. They will wonder… “What exactly is on the homepage of [your URL here]?” When they find out, there are high chances that they’ll put a link from their blog/site to yours.

This may not work as fast as the other methods, but it can get you indexed in less than 24 hours if a lot of people know about the images at a fast rate. Remember that most people who enjoy these types of pictures are teenagers, and most of them have at least one social networking site account. If their profile on one SNS site is indexed by Google, then your site will also get indexed. ;)

    As a SEO expert, I don’t advice new websites to submit their URL to GOOGLE !

    Why?

    Every website would like to get well ranked over some keywords !
    So, if Google will index our website for the first time through another website pointing to us with a link title containing our preferred keyword we would be better ranked than using the URL submission form !

    Nowdays, it’s better to let Google discover our website through some well ranked websites (popular, PR, trustran…)

  2. Juggler said: 8th August, 2007 at 12:45 pm

    I just included it as an option to get indexed by Google, not necessarily to get a better ranking. Letting Google discover your site through a keyword would definitely give our sites better rankings, but we can always work on the rankings after getting indexed. :)

  3. Damien said: 8th August, 2007 at 2:02 pm

    I have a website that no matter what I do, never got indexed by google. It’s a fresh reg from a drop but I’m sure the previous owner did something undesirable.

    I’ll pay you $10 to see just the main page indexed in google. Even if it has the worst rankings.

    Email me if you’re interested.

  4. Juggler said: 8th August, 2007 at 2:27 pm

    Damien, did you try using the command site:www.yourdomain.tld? If nothing’s really indexed, then the domain might have been banned by Google.

    Please send an e-mail to readers [at] tw3o.com and tell me some details about your site. No need to pay $10. :)

  5. Cathy said: 8th August, 2007 at 2:28 pm

    Very well written article :)

    Damien - I am interested to take the challenge. Email me -

    very nice info. ill thry the social bookmarking and lets see if it works :)

  7. Damien said: 8th August, 2007 at 4:51 pm

    Wow, thanks. That’s very kind. :)

    Email on its way.

  8. Damien said: 8th August, 2007 at 4:51 pm

    And I just subscribed to your blog’s feed. :D

  9. Juggler said: 8th August, 2007 at 5:49 pm

    Hi Damien, it’s either your site was missed during the last crawl of Google’s spiders or maybe there were things on your site which didn’t comply with Google’s guidelines.

    I replied to the e-mail and I stated some findings. Try to build good quality links and I think Google will reconsider your website. Best of luck to your site!

  10. Rian said: 8th August, 2007 at 5:53 pm

    Good post, you’ve got unique tips there. Most articles suggested that I submit links to lots of directories and use the add URL to Google and wait for Google’s crawler on my site.

    This post is different, everything is clearly explained and some tips weren’t mentioned by others. Excellent.

  11. Juggler said: 8th August, 2007 at 8:48 pm

    Apparently, a plagiarist copied this article on his own site without even asking permission from me (or at least giving credits). Oh well…

  12. Jules said: 8th August, 2007 at 9:07 pm

    Juggler - copying is the greatest form of flattery…, no need to worry about people who do not have the real talents that bloggers have..

    Good post, I’ll surely do this to make my sites appear quicker in Google’s search results. Thanks..

  13. Rob said: 9th August, 2007 at 12:17 am

    Great post! I just went through this process a couple weeks ago.

  14. Hitfirm said: 11th August, 2007 at 6:45 pm

    Ya I agree that there is no reason to use the submit url on Google. And blogs automatically send pages to ping services if you are making a blog.

  15. Benj said: 11th August, 2007 at 8:32 pm

    @Juggler
    Good post! surely I would pass this on to my other webmaster friends.

    @Hitfirm

    AFAIK some blogs do not automatically ping services… based on my experience on my websites, submitting the URLs (main page) to Google makes the indexing faster :evil:

    hi i enjoyed the read

  17. SEO Expert said: 21st August, 2007 at 1:57 pm

    […] article shows you how to get indexed by Google in less than 24 hours, you can try to use these ways, but it is not guarantee how long your blog will be getting […]

  20. webhopper said: 14th December, 2007 at 6:04 pm

    Very nice round up,that’s why it was copied :mrgreen: anyways, I read many articles on how to get started and your post contains additional info for my future reference.

  21. Juggler said: 14th December, 2007 at 6:33 pm

    Copied? Did anyone copy my article? Anyway… it’s good to know that you found this informative. ;)

  22. Karin said: 3rd February, 2008 at 7:14 am

    There are so many different opinions on what you should do to get indexed. It can make a newbies head spin. But your suggestions is straightforward. I think I’ll actually be able to do it all. Thanks.

  23. Meethere said: 19th March, 2008 at 7:00 pm

    Are you sure that will index my site within 24 hours.
    If u r doing other steps, then no need to add your site on google.

  24. Yuhu said: 19th March, 2008 at 7:12 pm

    Meethere I tried these methods. They’re good, the adding to Google part is just for assurance I guess. :)

  25. Hussein said: 21st March, 2008 at 9:38 pm

    That as an effective way. I tried to apply it in my new site and it works.

  26. Yuhu said: 21st March, 2008 at 10:09 pm

    @Hussein Good for you. I think using social bookmarking sites right away is the real “Google indexer” here. I will create a new site (or prolly a blog) and see if it can get to Google’s index by just using StumbleUpon. :P

  27. Mayank Rocks said: 24th March, 2008 at 12:44 am

    Great tips. My blog was indexed in google the first day itself. Social bookmarking sites always help you with good ranking and faster indexing. Realy.

  28. Columbus Cake said: 26th March, 2008 at 1:50 am

    thanks for the tips, just went through the steps, hope it works!

  29. Juggler said: 26th March, 2008 at 3:44 pm

    No problem guys. Just comment here if you followed the steps and your site/page doesn’t get indexed within 24 hours. I’ll be glad to help you with it. ;)

  30. columbus cake said: 27th March, 2008 at 3:21 am

    Ok, it’s been exactly 24 hours now since I have

    1 - addurl to google
    2 - pinged sitemap to google
    3 - posted on digg
    4 - started blog on blogger
    5 - articles/links on about 15 social bookmarking sites

    Results - not doing backflips just yet…for some reason unknown to me, google has indexed one of my pages but…why only the about us page??? That’s seems so very strange. How in the world did google follow the links but skip over all pages including the home page just to index the absolute most meaningless page on the site? Not complaining, one page indexed in 24 hours is certainly better than none! but…I just don’t get how I linked to the home page in every case yet it finds the stupid about us page lol. Hopefully this will change the next 24.

  31. columbus cake said: 27th March, 2008 at 3:29 am

    P.S. the link I posted at Digg showed up in google index within a matter of 4-5 hours…that’s pretty powerful…the only other site that google found my link out of ALL the links and article I submitted was from Myvmarks. It’s only one test sure, but next time I try this, I’ll definitely make sure I’m on Digg and Myvmarks as they were re-indexed by google quicker than any other social sites I hit.

  32. LuckyMurari said: 5th April, 2008 at 6:27 am

    I never thought Digg had that much of potential.It’s a pity that my University proxy blocks access to digg.I have to satisfy myself just with StumbleUpon :(

  33. Ms.Fitness said: 5th April, 2008 at 9:39 pm

    Just my experience, I digg my site everything I create a new page, and it usually get indexed within 24 hour :)

    @LuckyMurari
    Try proxy.org , it works in my college

  34. gomez said: 13th April, 2008 at 6:53 pm

    the article was good but I would have been more happier if you had mentioned any site which performs reviews for free.Thank you

  35. degree dropout said: 6th May, 2008 at 12:07 am

    This is the first post I read on your site…Very useful
    Can be used as a reference to do things step by step without missing.

  36. BasketGuy said: 14th May, 2008 at 6:52 pm

    I also bought a new domain recently and i noticed it had been used before. I have been trying everything to get it indexed and nothing helps. I guess i have to contact google somehow and see if its banned? I think its a bit lame that the ban is not released when the domain expires. Not very nice to punish the new owner for what someone else have done.

  37. kerja sambilan said: 31st May, 2008 at 5:23 pm

    i tried n it works!!!!!!!…i posted to 10 social bookmark sites…less than 2 hours…got indexed by google…bravo juggler!!! (sorry my english sucks)

  38. Software said: 4th June, 2008 at 9:50 pm

    Submit to rss aggregator such as goldenfeed.com, feeds2read.net, readablog.com, etc also help our blog will be indexed faster

  39. emma said: 6th June, 2008 at 1:54 pm

    I think if done most thing except the social bookmarking which I will get onto. I started a blog about 2 days ago it doesn’t even have much content and it’s been indexed but I would like my front page indexed so i’m off to do some social bookmarking.
    Thanks for the tips

  40. Rahul said: 19th June, 2008 at 9:38 pm

    Hi Mike, thanks for your information I will try using this steps in getting my website indexed. If your free have a look at my websites and rate them. I need an information how does this bookmarking sites work.

  41. Rahul said: 19th June, 2008 at 9:40 pm

    The link directing to “a list of social bookmarking sites” doesn’t work. Its directing to a wrong page

  42. billy said: 21st June, 2008 at 2:41 am

    Yes excellent guide lines, but i think theres no quicker way of getting indexed then getting quality back links from websites in the same field as yours. I was indexed within the first 48hours of my site going live.

  43. emma said: 6th July, 2008 at 1:51 pm

    Hi again, I have followed some of your tips and my site has been indexed by google and I’m coming up at the top of page 2 for certain keywords which I’m very happy with seeing as my site has only been online for 50 days.
    Thanks

  44. Daryl Saari said: 7th July, 2008 at 2:46 pm
