Now, a lot of you may already have your own ways to get indexed in Google fast, but I’m sure there are new bloggers who may be attempting to set up their first self-hosted blogs that need to know the inside track to getting indexed within a day or two in Google.

Yes, it’s possible!

Honestly, getting indexed within a day or two with a new blog is more common than not - sometimes you don’t even have to try. Having said that, I always like to run through the basic routine anyway, just to be on the safe side.

For those that don’t know, let me first tell you why you more than likely will get indexed quick without doing any special routines. First of all, Google loves most, if not all major blogging platforms. Whether you run a self hosted Wordpress blog, a Blogger blog, or a Wordpress.Com blog - Google loves them all (especially Blogger, due to the fact they they own them now). The simple act of posting an article or two a lot of the time is enough to get indexed without thinking about it. Shouldn’t take more than a week tops.

But if you’re looking to skip ahead in line, and jump into Google within 24-48 hours, here are a few tricks that I use that are always successful:

1. Technorati - Get signed up with Technorati, and “claim” your blog as soon as you can. This only takes a few minutes, and is worth it for many reasons. But for reasons above, when your blog is claimed and all set up, make sure to use the “ping” service in your Technorati account after each post you write.

2. MyBlogLog - Adding your blog to your MBL account has often done the trick for me alone, but I combine this with the other steps for maximum exposure. It’s easy to claim your blog - only takes a minute or two of work.

3. Pingomatic - This is a very cool blog pinging service that you should hit up right after you post an article on your new blog. Just go to the site, input your URL, and ping all available services. Spiders from these services will come to your blog pretty quickly, and when they index your site, Google will index them not too long after, which will hopefully help out your cause.

4. Digg + Pingomatic - This little trick has always seemed to work well for me too. When you have a new blog, and after you submit your first post - submit it to Digg, and then get the Digg URL that was assigned to your submission, take that URL and input it at Pingomatic and ping it. Don’t ask me why, but it works!

5. Utilize existing blogs or sites - This is often the easiest and most overlooked way to get your new blog indexed quickly. Do you have an established website or blog that Google crawls often? If so, then just write a new post or add some content with a link or two to your new blog, and that will definitely speed up the process. Using your existing website leverage is my favorite method, and it’s all too easy.

6. Refer to my post about getting traffic to your blog, and use the methods I talk about. It works. Reason being, the more instances of your new blog URL being on sites that get crawled every couple of minutes, the more likely your new Blog will get indexed sooner rather than later. When Google sees your link on all of these powerful sites, it will have no choice but to go crawl your blog, and index it quickly.

That’s really all there is to it! I know it sounds basic, but hopefully, if you didn’t already know these methods it will come in handy for you. I also use the methods above for getting static websites indexed quickly too, which we all know can be a pain in the butt sometimes. I used to work with clients that had sites for months without being indexed, and when I would tell them I would have their site indexed within a few days, they never believed me until the proof was undeniable. It made for some happy clients!
