Three Rapid Indexing Techniques - Get the Googlebots to Your Site Fast!

If a tree falls int he forest and no one is there, does it make a sound?

We can leave that argument to the Zen masters.  There is a corollary, however, for those who do business on the Internet and who want to rely on search engine traffic.  

If a site doesn’t appear in Google, does it get any attention?

The answer to that one is a resounding “NO!”  

You need Google to index your site–and the sooner it’s been scoured by the Googlebots the sooner you can expect to see traffic.

Getting indexed, fortunately, isn’t that tough.  Here are three rapid ways to attract a little attention from those Mountain View spiders.

Digg It.  Submit your pages to Digg.  You’re not worried about getting on the first page and any traffic you secure is icing on the indexing cake.  The goal is to get that link to your site up and running at Digg.  The spiders will follow.

Get Social.  If you aren’t doing the social bookmarking thing, you’re missing out.  Create a little link love for your site by getting those live links up on a variety of social bookmarking sites.  This can produce fast results.

The Big Link.  If you have another web property that has a little bit of heft with Google, use it to your advantage.  Get links up to your new pages for the purpose of hitting the index.  You don’t need to make them a permanent feature, but they can be a good way to get the ball rolling.

You want Google to take notice of your site and you want them to do it quickly.  Every day wasted is another day without traffic, after all.  Any of these three techniques can get your new material into the index quickly.
