Blogspot, WordPress users probably in the clearOwners 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.

Real Time
I pay attention to google display times and I know that my blog entries apear iin hours. I have also seen questions appear on the answers.yahoo site almost right away.
Google is fast to index existing site changes
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.
And blogs and common sites
And blogs and common sites are indexing fast as before.
yahoo indexing
My site 'http://greekvillasforsale.co.uk' was first on yahoo search page for
greek villas for sale - but has totally dissapeard - any ideas as to why this may have occured?
many thanks,

Google SERPs
My site dropped from the first 1-3 pages of google serps for most of my keywords over the past 2 months. I realized after that it was because I added a slogan-type loan at the top of the body part & added Special Pricing Info as my first paragraph on my main webpage. Needlesstosay, I changed my first paragraph to the way it was, deleted my new sloagan, put other header-type lines at the top of the body part, my special pricing info in the middle part of the webpage.
Go on Google.com and enter: site:www.yourdomainname.com and see what is shows for what your website says. Do the listings show the same info in your main paragraph.
I do not have an absolute answer to your question as to why you dropped out of the serps page 1, but I have been seeing more websites, with the same keywords as mine, appear out of no where ahead of my site, and the serp listings have changed immensely. I wonder what is going on also!
