This is basic SEO stuff, but thought i’ll mention it here, cos i see “SEO”s on certain forums claim doing it the wrong way.
Getting indexed in Google is one of the basic steps to your SEO jeourney.
But why Google? Why not Yahoo and MSN?
- Yahoo doesn’t award page ranks.
- Yahoo is not Google.
Okay silly reasons there, but i know you’ll agree with me that getting your blog/site optimised with Google is what all of us are working at day and night.
And when you have a new site, is it really possible to get indexed by Google in 24-48 hours? Yes possible.
Getting indexed by Google means basically getting into their directory - introducing your site to Google by that one first hand shake.
You may already be knowing that adding your url to Google is the easiest way to do it. Google recommends it too and then who challenges?Google gives you the option of submitting your url to it, so that the next day you can get listed on it’s search for a particular term(keyword).
Well, this isn’t actually the best way to do it.Sure it’s one of the easiest ways. To submit your url and wait for Google ti index it but not necessarily the BEST one.
As google says - there is no guarantee the submission will be done in this method. My idea is that if you are a wise SEO, then you don’t go for guaranteeless options/services. There are many such services ironically. But being smart is to get around these and find the smart way through.So my recommendation is NEVER add your url to Google by submitting your site.
Why? Think of it this way.When you meet someone, is it better that your common friend introduces you to him or you beg for his attention?
Definitely the first one right? If you have a common friend, he’ll introduce you to the person - because your friend is his friend and there is the trust factor that comes in.
Similarly, to get introduced to Google, don’t beg for it’s attention(by submitting your url and waiting for a guaranteeless possibility) but ask your friend who knows google well to introduce you to it. In simple words - Get a link from already indexed site to yours. And i guarantee Quality indexing!
Here are the advantages of Quality Indexing.
- You will get indexed to googles directory as it will follow to your site/blog from the link - this is weighed more.
- You get automatically linked once when a google robot follows the link - no desperate wait.
- Guarantee results in less time.
How to get incoming links to a new site/blog
Remember for a new website, getting a link from a PR2 or PR3 site wouldn’t be a problem.Just ask someone.Write an email,shout on forums etc.It may sound a bit awkward, but remember - only a crying baby get’s the milk.
I recall that my first link to this blog was from Lyzazel’s blog. Today his blog is at PR2 while i’m at PR4.So today i’m linking back to him(Lyzazel) and i’m grateful to him.(See blogroll)
If you are unlucky just join the list of those forums that help you add a signature link to your profile.(http://www.forums.digitalpoint.com, http://indian-webmasters.com)
Another way is to buy links - this is the expensive way so it’s upto you to take up.You may buy incoming links from www.linkbrokers.com or www.text-link-ads.com or www.linkadage.com.
But make sure that you don’t submit your url to google, as it will not give you this advantage of more PR. Sure it will get you indexed in 3-4 days but for the next google update, if google finds that it’s “friend” introduced you to it (through a link) - then you are likely to get a higher PR.

Hi Mani
i created an ipl highlights blog on blogspot and linked to it from my Cricket Blog (via blogroll and a blog post) though my cricket blog has PR 4, my ipl highlights blog has not been indexed completely by Google??
site search returns 0 results
has my blog been sandboxed??
pls help me
Regards
Maverick
[Reply to this comment]
Mani Karthik Replied:
Maverick, which is the PR4 cricket blog? I have a few questions for it before I decide why it is not indexing. Well, if you are ready for 30 bucks, I;d suggest you buy out an ad from a well crawled authority site. PR isn’t everything sometimes you know.
[Reply to this comment]
hi mani
i have a cricket blog with PR4 - (site a), i create a new blog - (site b) and link to it from site a, but still only 1 page of site b was crawled by google & the site search returns 0 results for site b,
now you are telling me that the backlink from site a which had a PR of 4 will not help site b to get fully indexed?
[Reply to this comment]
Mani Karthik Replied:
Yes. Site a having a PR4 does not mean everything. There are other factors too that goes into it. If you’d let me know the URL of site A, I can probably give you a better answer.

My blog was getting indexed virtually every time I wrote a post. It was set up in March. Then, since April 30, Google suddenly decided to stop indexing my posts. Is there any obvious reason you can think of why this happened? I tried contacting Google and am still waiting for an answer.
[Reply to this comment]
Michael, I may have to dig more into your site to find that out. I hope you checked the google webmasters tools for your indexing frequency. If it says no indexing since April 30, there must be something interesting. Did you do any changes to the site structure since April 30?

Nice article. I like that your blog contains a lot of good content and useful information. Though, I question, does exchanging links with blogs with a lower PR than your blog decrease your blog’s PR?

Hi Mani
In your post you mentioned “In simple words - Get a link from already indexed site to yours.” If somehow I could get a link from already indexed sites, where would I put their links? I’m using blogger platform by the way..
Sorry, I’m really new to this. Backlinks and links exchange really confuses me until now because I just don’t know where to put it in my blogger.
Hoping for your reply Mani
Thanks and more power!
Bobby
[Reply to this comment]
Mani Karthik Replied:
Bobby, you needn’t put their link on your site (unless your friend is keen on it) but the idea is to get a one-way link from an already indexed site. If he wants the link on your site, then put it at the regular places, sidebar etc. Doesn’t give him any advantage as your site is not indexed now.
[Reply to this comment]
Hi Mani, thank you for the quick response
I’m sorry but what do you mean by “one-way link”?
Do you mean by getting a link from already indexed site is to ask them to put my URL to their blog and not their URL to my blog?
Thanks again Mani
[Reply to this comment]
Exactly Bobby. You got it.
[Reply to this comment]
Thank you very much Mani!
You just made a stupid blogger like me less stupid
Now I’m learning little by little one at a time

Myself and a few others have been playing around with the effect of inclusion (embedding) of video in blog postings and have had some pretty remarkable results, including the ability to get a blog which is brand new to be indexed and to rank in a matter of hours. One of the experiments is outlined here:

I won’t really recommend using Digg for this. As you’d want to be an active user on Digg, (as I’d expect every webmaster to be) I would recommend not use your account for purposes like this. It’s a bit shady.
[Reply to this comment]
Good advice, I basically used all those steps to get my blog indexed on Google, got it indexed in about 2 days, get a fair bit of traffic for my niche, don’t even bother with Yahoo or MSN, they are hopeless, I’ve been waiting for almost a month to get indexed by both, the only way my blog shows up in a search on either is by way of reference by such sites as Digg, Reddit, Bloggernity etc but really who uses them as search engines anyway? Lol
[Reply to this comment]
Mani,
I think I have not cried yet, thats why my backlinks are poor. Will start doing that soon.
BTW, I didnt had a single backlink when I got indexed. I had a sitemap ready, and the Google sitemap plugin submits it to Google, right.?
I am crying to the Blogoshphere now. pls give me some backlinks……………
cheers
