Abuse

It sounds like a great feature, but I hope it wont be abused too much by people trying to get their pages reindexed faster and faster

Will new indexing trickle to Web Index?

It appears another affordable option. This being most beneficial to larger sites who consistently add bundles of new web pages.

Yet, it doesn't quite specify whether the optional indexing translates to faster web index additions. I would suppose it certainly does, which in such a situation would seriously disadvantage smaller firms online.

"... feature that everyone is talking about is the ability to add pages on-demand to be indexed by site search, so customers have access to these new pages as soon as they're ready."

Does this mean that if I

Does this mean that if I purchase the $100 Google Site Search Annual Plan, and I add 100 pages, I click on a button and all of my new pages get refreshed, indexed & recrawled into the Google Web Search Results shortly, instead of waiting a month or so for the new pages to appear in the SERP's???

I am not a professional SEO guru, I am self-taught and am still learning every day. I am a little confused after reading sentences from the above paragraphs. I cut & pasted sentences from above that made it a little confusing for me... Thank you, Marian

the feature gives control to web publishers over the frequency with which Google refreshes its index of the site's content, or in other words triggering a re-crawl.

"On demand indexing is like supercharging the Site Search product so that our customers -- the Web site owners -- can come to Google as their Web sites are changing and say 'I just added 100 or 1,000 pages -- please index them now

Even still, web publishers should be happy about the on-demand indexing as to get their sites crawled as often as possible. With On-Demand indexing:

- Site owners get an "Index Now" button to quickly and easily update their site search results with new and updated content.

- New pages are searchable within hours – taking no longer than a day to appear within site search results.
