How to get indexed by Google in 3 minutes? Is that possible? Yes, it is possible! How many times did I write on how to get indexed by Google as well as Bing? A few times, for the reason that I would like to show you that there is really no secret on how to get indexed by Google or by Bing. I wrote about it at How to Get Indexed by Google, Get Indexed by Google and Bing Search Engines, How to Get Indexed by Bing, and Got Indexed by Google and De-indexed by Google?.

Your blog or site could get indexed by Google within 3 minutes, 12 minutes, 12 hours, 3 months, or it could even take longer, or not get indexed at all. If you would like your blog or site to get indexed by Google, you have to learn how to optimize your crawling and indexing for Google. That is the fact and that is no secret.

On August 11, 2009, I wrote this blog entry How to optimize your crawling and indexing for Google which was published at 10:25am. Then I checked my Google Reader as I am monitoring and tracking other sites using several keywords. There I saw that at 10:28am, Google crawled and indexed the blog entry.

How to optimize your crawling and indexing for Google blog entry was indexed by Google within 3 minutes. Then I checked Google Blog search after 12 minutes and saw that it was actually really got indexed by Google. But when I checked the main Google search, it was nowhere to be found. I left it at that as I know Google behaves differently. Google “thought” that my blog entry on how to optimize your crawling and indexing was not relevant at that moment.

After two weeks, I checked Google search today. I entered the keywords “how to optimize your crawling and indexing” and saw that the blog entry is finally listed, number 5 at the second page, Results 11-20 of about 47,200 for how to optimize your crawling and indexing keywords.

I also would like to tell you that the blog entry was not linked anywhere but I was linking several relevant topics to it. It just goes to show that with or without incoming links, Google will index and crawl your blog or site any time it wants. You can influence it a little bit but no matter what, it is Google dictating how it should be done. Some of the blog entries that I wrote got indexed within 3 minutes, within 1 hour, and within 12 hours which shows us that crawling and indexing a blog or site vary from the point of view of Google.

By the way, just a note, I changed the title from “How to optimize your crawling and indexing with Google” to “How to optimize your crawling and indexing for Google”.
