Getting Indexed By Google in 24 Hours

Do you know any tricks for getting indexed quickly by search engines?  Most people who create their own blogs or websites quickly figure out that getting noticed by the search engines isn’t always easy.  Firstly, there is usually stiff competition from other sites which want to get indexed for the same topics as you.  And then, even if you DO follow all their instructions, it can take months to become searchable for specified keywords.  Well, you’re lucky that you’ve found this article because I’ll let you in on an insider trick which can make this whole process A LOT quicker and easier.

Some Background Information

We all know that search engines rank websites based on their level of relevance to a particular search topic.  Part of how Google does this is by assigning every website in its index with what is known as a “PageRank”.

PageRanks are assigned to websites based on a logarithmic scale between 0 and 10, but to keep things simple, we won’t get into the math behind this.  If your site has a PageRank of 3, then it is refered to as a ‘PR3’ site, a PageRank of 4 is a PR4, and so on and so forth.  When webmasters link to one another for the purposes of search engine optimization, the sites that they choose for link building are often chosen solely on whether or not they have a high PageRank.

So here’s the trick

We all know that your site gets indexed once a Google ‘spider’ or ‘web crawler’ scans it and copies a synopsis of its data into the Google database.  This is what getting ‘indexed’ is refering to.  What most people don’t understand, is that Google is always re-indexing websites in order to continually track their relevance to various search terms.  Indexed sites with a high PageRank get indexed more frequently, and as the spider indexes a website, it will also crawl through any links present on that site and index the linked-to site.  Sites of a PR5 or higher get indexed about every 24 hours.  This means that even if your site is brand new, if it receives an inbound link from a PR5 site, a Google spider will find and index it within approximately 24 hours.  SWEET BEANS!

Now the only problem is figuring out how to get a webmaster with a PR5 site to actually link to you!

***Fun Fact***

Most people think that the word ‘page’ in the term PageRank makes reference to ‘webpage’ or ‘homepage’, but in fact the term ‘page’ is used in reference to Larry Page; the Google co-founder who wrote the algorithm which Google exclusively licenses from Stanford University in order to assign PageRanks to websites.)
