Pro Blog it | ProBlogging Venture, Tips and Ideas, Reviews and Opinions

How to get indexed by Google? That was also my question, how to get Google to crawl and index Problogit.com. Actually, Google already have crawled and indexed the front page and other pages of this blog but not really the blog entries. I have seen a few of the blog entries that have been indexed by Google but not all.

I mentioned at the blog entry Prioritizing Maintaining Blogs and Sites that Google have not really indexed the blog entries of Pro Blog it and so I am redirecting my focus to my other blogs. I did not check Google before I wrote that blog entry if Google already indexed the blog entries only to find out today that Google have actually crawled and indexed the blog entries of Pro Blog it, ProBlogging Venture Tips and Ideas, Reviews and Opinions.

Get Indexed by Google

Less than three (3) months after I launched this blog, the blog entries have been finally indexed by Google. Maybe three (3) months is too long for others but that is good enough for me. It is better than not being indexed at all.

How and when did it happen? I really do not know. I was not really paying attention to it as I was on vacation for three (3) weeks. I am not an SEO / search engine optimization guru so I could not really tell you exactly what happened here. I know a little bit of search engine optimization though. I just did whatever I think was necessary and acceptable to Google.

I wrote content for this blog. I linked some of the blog entries if I find that it is worth linking from the new blog entry. Those are the two things that I can really tell you. Other than that, I really have no idea how and when did Google index the blog entries. I was not so trying hard to get the attention of Google. I just wrote content for this blog and that was it.

I have not even asked other bloggers and probloggers to link my blog from their blogs. I have not even started commenting regularly on other blogs using the domain name of this blog. I once made some comments to other blogs using my other domain name and then mentioned this blog just to inform some blogger friends that I finally started problogging.

I did not submit the URLs to Google, only the domain name problogit.com which I mentioned when I wrote ProBlogging ProBlogit.com Google Search Results. I do not have a detailed Google Sitemap but I have Archives page. I am not so very particular about these things but I do check once in a while how my blogs perform.

So, did I get Google to crawl and index my blog? Yes! How? I just wrote content for this blog, linked other blog entries every time I wrote a new blog entry, and that was it. But up to now, that is still a question, how to get Google to crawl and index other blogs and sites. As I see it, I think I just have to do what I did here, write more content as often as I can.

But wait, I would have to mention though that I have an account with Google Webmaster Tools where I added this site or the domain name problogit.com. I think it is necessary to mention this as this has definitely a bearing on how and when ProBlogit.com was crawled and indexed by Google.
