I noticed that many people in this forum are new to blogging and stuff. So here is a small article I made to help them getting their website indexed fast since the PR update is near.
Each Web Search Engine has its own “Spider” which crawls to your website and adds all the content to its database. They love regularly updated content. The spiders from the search engines add every web page they visit and put in their records. This helps you get more search engine results and hence more traffic.
There are millions of websites which are waiting to be indexed and your website is in the queue too. In order to jump the queue and get indexed faster than your “counterparts” here are some points.
- Submit your website to the major search engines using their “Submit Website Form”
- Add your Sitemap to their databases so that their “spiders” do not miss any page on your website
- Link to and comment on websites with high page rank and indexed pages
- Submit your website to free directories and major social networking websites
- Put AdSense (just put anyones PUB code or leave it empty..Put it for a 48 hours even if you don’t use it)
Detailed explanation and and description of each point
1. Submit your website to the major search engines using their “Submit Website Form”
Most of the major search engines have a form where you can submit your website. It makes it easier for the spiders to find your website then. Click on the name of the search engine to go to their submit website forms.
Google,
Yahoo,
MSN,
Alexa and
Splat
2. Add your Sitemap to their databases so that their “spiders” do not miss any page on your website
By creating and submitting your sitemap to a Search Engine, you enable Search Engine spiders to find out what pages are present on your website and which have of the previous ones recently changed. To create a sitemap online visit
XML Sitemaps.
3. Link to and comment on websites with high page rank and indexed pages
Highly indexed pages are crawled regularly and any site linking to them comes quick in the crawling queue too. Websites like
The Official Google Blog are crawled upon regularly. Link to a the website in any post of yours and increase the chances of getting indexed quickly. Also comment on those blogs so that they notice your website right away and they are crawled upon (Yes, I know they are no follow links but believe me it helps)
4. Submit your website to free directories and major social networking websites
Submitting your website in free directories helps you increase the number of backlinks which creates more ways for the spider to crawl your website. Get a list of free directories

Also add your posts to Social Bookmarking websites like
Digg to get traffic as well as backlinks to your posts.
5. Put AdSense (just put anyones PUB code or leave it empty..Put it for a 48 hours even if you don’t use it)
This is a trick which very less people use. Even if you are not an AdSense user put AdSense up on your website for a couple of days. This forces the spider to crawl your website as quickly as possible so that relavant ads are shown and they get income too.
Follow these tips step by step and you will get indexed your websites faster than any of your web site’s “counterparts” do.
