How to Easily Index your Website Faster in Google Search

Today, having a website is not a challenging task anymore as it was considered before. In present online age people are more concern about getting their brand name or blog searchable on search engines to engage more valuable visitors. Many brand companies have already started to implement techniques that help their website to index faster in search engines. If you’re looking for some tips or techniques that could help your site to rank faster, then you are luckily at the right place. Today in this article, we will show you How to Easily Index your website faster in Google Search

Why Google Indexes new websites slowly?

We see a lot of users always complain about the fact that their new site takes a lot of time in indexing posts or articles. The main reasons of not getting your new site index are mentioned as below:

Less Authority: When you create a new site, it has almost ZERO authority while other old sites have better authority this is the reason why your site takes a while in indexing. The older your site would be, the more authority it would gain so it’s just a matter of getting your site a bit older.

Less Content: Google loves content, not just content, but fresh and quality content. New sites have less or no content, this makes almost impossible for search engines to get a blank page index (in some cases Google even indexes blank pages). However, write content that has quality and quantity at the same time.

Lack of Social Signals: Now days, search engines do count on social signals (the no of shares, tweets, likes the content is received from social networking websites) and on the basis of that they index or rank websites. For a new site, it is almost impossible to overnight get a lot of social followers.

Under the Scan: For those who don’t know, Google always takes a nice look at your site before it is indexed in the search engines so if there is any delay in indexation then your site is under the scan..

To find the number of pages indexed go to Google.com and search for site:mybloggerlab.com(Note: Do not forget to replace mybloggerlab.com with your website address). If you see no results, then you should implement the tips we have discussed in this article. Following screenshot shows the search results for the above query.

How to Easily Index your website faster in Google Search:

The techniques which we’ll be discussing in this article are applicable for both new and old websites. In short, we will be using some external websites to send search engine crawlers to our sites, forcing them to index our site faster than usual.

1. Submit sitemap to Google:

What is a sitemap? A sitemap is the list of posts or pages that you’ve published on your site which helps search engine crawlers to index your posts according to the its published dates. By submitting a sitemap to Google, Yahoo, Bing, AOL and etc. you’re inviting them to index your blog faster and efficiently.

If you haven't submit your sitemap to Google then do it today by going to the webmaster tool.

2. Commenting on Dofollow or CommentLuv Blogs:

After publishing a new article, comment on authority high traffic blogs. This not only provides some traffic, but at the same time search engine crawlers will follow your site if the attribution is set to Dofollow.

This is an old but working technique that every newbie blogger implements and if you haven’t then try it from today. You will start seeing the changes within a week or so depends on how much blogs you’re commenting on daily basis, I would prefer 20 to 30 comments a day.

3. Sharing on Social Communities: 

This is another method which is very effective for new blog owners. Facebook or even Google+ has active groups and communities that allows you to share your posts URLS on them. When you’re sharing those URLs on those groups, you are actually sending a social signal to your site. This means the more you share, the more social signals it will send back to your site.

We have also implemented the same technique in the early days of MyBloggerLab.com and results were pretty much amazing.

4. Ping Your Posts or Blog:

Ping service is another working way to alarm search engines to index your newly published posts. However, Blogger as well as WordPress automatically sends pings to search engines, but doing it efficiently by doing it yourself won’t hurt much.

Ping From this site: http://pingomatic.com/

5. Guest Posting:

People say Guest posting is no longer effective, but the reality is they have the same significance at the moment as well. If you have time write 5 to 10 quality articles and ask high authority blogs to publish them and provide a Dofollow link to you.

Try to guest posts on blogs that are related to your niche, are updated regularly and consists of the active audience. By doing this, you will get some healthy traffic and again in your authority.

Just to prove this thing really works, I applied these techniques on one of my new testing blog and results were pretty pleasing. The following screenshot shows a website that was indexed in Google within 10 minutes.

We hope this article has helped you in learning some of the unrevealed secrets of getting your site indexed faster in Google search engine. Now, since you know they go ahead and apply them for results that you’re looking for a lot of months or even years.

Why you need More Facebook Likes?

Facebook is the only leading social networking website. likes to give you a chance to reach a bigger audience and helps you build a community on your website on social media. In reality, it takes a lot of time, patience, and status updates to attract audience. But if you’re really smart then you can always apply better marketing strategies.

1. Facebook Like Box Pop Up:

There are people who are using a non-friendly Lightbox pop ups which end up annoying users, rather than making them to like your page. Which is certainly not the right approach?

We recommend you to use Advance Facebook pop up like box that only appears once. It only appears again to the same user, if he clears his/her cookies and history.

2. Run Contests and Giveaways

Have you ever thought why there are so many giveaways and contests runs around on different Facebook Pages and websites? This is one of the most effective ways to attract real more likes without doing much.  Still, you do not need to give away expensive items, people will love to get anything that is for FREE.

3. Social Sharing Buttons:

Nowadays its must to have social sharing buttons on your site somewhere near your content. This allows your visitors to share your content to their most favorite social networking website.
However, keep in mind you only need to add those social sharing buttons that works not a huge cluster of different social buttons. Because it consumes more resources and cause slowness in your website.

We recommend floating social media bar, that is reliable and consist of only those social sharing buttons that works like Facebook, Twitter, and Google+.

4. Embed Like Boxes in Sidebar:

Another clean way to get more likes is to add a Facebook like box in your sidebar. You can make your like box stand out in the sidebar by adding headings just above it or you can give it a complete different touch if you are good at CSS.

You can also embed status posts in blogger that is also an effective way to mention your Facebook page.

5. Social Content Lockers:

This technique may cause annoyance, but it works. You use social content lockers to hide your content and only people who will either share or like your page can get access to it. We do not recommend you to use this on each and every post, use it smartly on a few posts.

6. Interlinking Facebook Page:

Another clean way is to ask your users to like your Facebook page by linking it with some keyword i.e. “Please like our Facebook page”. This technique is followed by a lot of major websites nowadays. This is a simple tip, but the majority of small business owner don’t use it. If you added the link to the right place, it would give your likes a great boost.
