How to get indexed by Google in ONE hour

Written by on May 22, 2009 in SEO - 55 Comments

If you’re not familiar with how some people accomplish getting their web sites submitted to Google quickly, you are going to absolutely love this article.

I’ve bet you’ve heard from many people that it can take days, weeks, even months to get indexed by Google. If you have heard that, you’re now thinking, “OK Jamie, you must have had a really stressful day at work today and you’re now hallucinating that this is possible!”.

If I read this blog title a while ago, I’m sure I would be thinking the same thing as you! Ok, let’s move on to how to get indexed by Google within one hour.

The secret is quite simple. Almost every site in today’s Internet world uses the social network sharing buttons. On my blog, http://www.endyourif.com I include it on every article page. I also include it on the main listing pages underneath my article summary.

If you don’t already have one of these on your sites, get one now, just search “Share This” or “Add This” and you will find a ton of web sites that tell you to put a few lines of Javascript code on your web site and it does the rest.

Ok, so now you have this button added to your web site? Perfect, I would suggest going to a page on your web site that you think will be the most valuable to other users and submit it to a couple of those sites listed in the button.

I have personally found excellent success with both Digg and Reddit. I launched a web site about 1 or 2 months ago, submitted two links to Digg. I waited about an hour or so and searched Google with keywords that I felt I targeted well and lo and behold there it was, my page was found and indexed with Google. Not only was it found, it was in the top 10!

Don’t just stop here though. Submitting to the above sites will provide you with some quick traffic. It won’t last long if people don’t like your site. Plus, it won’t cause your other pages to be indexed either. It really is just a start.

The next step is to create an XML sitemap of your content. Once you’ve done this, create an account on the Google Webmaster Tools. You will need to add your domain and verify your site before continuing.

Once you’ve completed this, add your sitemap that you previously created. Within a few minutes (some times longer), Google will validate your sitemap and queue all of your links to be indexed.

This of course is not a guaranteed solution to be indexed any faster. But Google certainly seems to crawl your sitemap on a regular basis and check the links. It also checks how often your site is updated, the more frequently it is updated, the more frequently Google will crawl your content!

If it’s possible, you should try to perform some kind of daily updates to your site. Ideally if you allow users to comment, hopefully there will be several new comments per day and this will cause your data to be considered new.

I hope you’ve found this article useful. Happy Googling! If you would like more tips and techniques, visit my blog at http://www.endyourif.com

    Hi Jamie, This is great information. I’ll try it on my new website. Does the keyword choice has something to do too with landing at the top ten position?
    I hope you will give more tips to us.

    Good technique but this is not new. I didn’t find something new in this article because now everyone has already realized that to get indexed by Google quickly you need to submit your site’s content to social bookmarking sites.

    I agree Jamie. I’ve had the same results with my brand new site. I submit to Twitter straight after writing a new blog post and within an hour or so I receive a “Google Alert” email informing me that my post has been indexed…. and the post is usually indexed well when on-page SEO factors are incorporated.

    I confirm this article is true. The sitemap is very important for this to happen. There have been times I wrote articles for my site and got it index and cached in under 10 minutes. The trick here is to also not have a routine time when publishing articles. It keeps Google on their toes. Daily updates are the best way to go to really make this happen.

    Hello Jamie,
    This is an excellent article.Thank you. We have been thinking along these lines and was not sure if we should attempt it. You have now helped us make the decision. We added a Stumbleupon button to our site and have only received a few hits from that. Now we will add the rest.

    Again,Thank you for your article.
    Paul

    I have also had success with social bookmarking sites in general, and Digg in particular. Recently I did an online marketing campaign for a local mayoral candidate. He had been unable to get onto the first page of Google for the search phrases he wanted to target. I created a YouTube channel for him and uploaded some videos I did of him and his running mates. I plugged it all into a Blogger blog I created for him, and we promoted it all through his Facebook page. Even with all of that activity we still didn’t make it to the first page of Google, though I was careful to use all of the tags that he had requested.

    We finally made it to the first page of Google for each of the tags when I recalled (a few days later) to bookmark the videos on all of the major social bookmarking sites. Within only a few hours of doing that we came up on page 1 of Google for all of the tags. The best results were with Digg.

    Hi Jamie, and hi Site Reference,
    I’ve been receiving your emails now for a few weeks. I’m not sure it’s from Jamie or from the Site Reference website, but whichever it is I have found them all to contain something useful and interesting. Same with this article. You keep me on my toes as far as website stuff is concerned. I’m always quick to complain about things, so it’s only fair to give positive feedback as well when it’s due. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
