Google Indexes New Blogs With Few Delays

Owners of new Blogspot or WordPress sites may worry that Google won’t index them. And we can’t guarantee that Google will do so quickly, or even that the search giant will do so at all. There’s a fair amount of evidence suggesting that things will be taken care of sooner rather than later, however.

We’ll start with the slightly disquieting stuff. On the WebmasterWorld forum, "dhirajch" writes, "I think it is not always. but yes definetly much more faster than any website."

The other less-than-assuring piece of information comes from Ted Ulle, who states, "Without any external links, google is not likely to index any site, whether it’s a blog or not. They’re definitely not likely to keep in the index for very long even, if they do discover the url somehow."

But people like "IncrediBILL" and Tamar Weinberg, along with at several others, have said there’s little to worry about. Several examples were given in which Blogspot or WordPress sites showed up in Google’s search results either quickly or without any effort on the author’s part.

In the end, maybe it’s best to toss a few outside links into a piece to make sure. Also, all the other usual SEO tips are liable to help, as well. But it seems like no special actions are necessary (and no anxiety is in order) when trying to get a new blog indexed by Google.

My posts are indexed in hours too, but I assume Doug is talking about WP hosted blogs having trouble being indexed?

I’m not so sure about blogs, but I can say that google has indexed our site and any monthly changes quickly. And any content changes seem to be added within a couple of weeks. I can’t say the same about MSN or Yahoo. I’ve checked the statistics and Yahoo Slurp robot checks our site frequently, but we hardly get any hits from Yahoo. Our referrer is primarily from google.

It’s reasonable to assume Google gives preference to its own properties. I expressly use blogspot for creating new blogs relating to business web sites. No hard data but these sites appear to get index quicker by google and google counts in links to these sites quicker … which means the outlinks from the blogspot sites have value quicker.

I’ve had my blog up for a few days now and still no idex. My web pages usually get indexed in a day but for some reason the blog has been taking much longer.

I am posting comments with dofollow links and all but nothing is happening.

Holding my fingers crossed!
