Quick SEO Tips: Find out when Google first indexed your site

If you thought that Google found your website around the dates that you launched it, there is a good chance that you wrong. Google finds a page/website through links, and that’s when they’ll set your “birth date” as. So if you were checking your competitors domain name age, ouch…time to recheck!

How to find out your birthdate on Google?

Try this search (with your domain of course) and find out when Google indexed you. You can see it on the left hand side of the search.

Now try the same with your competition or competing keywords. Do you see a pattern?
Yes, the top ranking ones were found first.

So, who said Google is dumb and can’t fix duplicate content.

    As per your logic mentioned, the results of my blog shows Aug 7th 2007, but I had articles indexed even before that. Can you explain a bit more on this?

    Great tip. I’ve been posting almost everyday and wondering why my recent posts haven’t been indexed by Google yet?

    Great Tip! I always used to open the cached copy of Google and then see the date on which the site was cached on the top. This will save my time. Thanks

    Ahh, very clever.

    How are you certain that “the top ranking ones were found first”?

    Reply

  12. Mani KarthikNo Gravatar

    UGuX, Top ranking ones, are the most important ones from the site. It’s very evident. To test it, try it on a new blog where there are two posts, link from another blog to one and leave the other post without any linking. You’ll see the linked post on top. :)

    I have posted my site in a forum with w link back to my site; lankareader.com.If I search google lankareader.com the above mentioned forum comes as a reault. That means the forum site has been indexed after my entry and my site is still not indexed even if that indexed site has a text link back to my site.Do I have a point here?
