Back to the days I built my first website, I was worried on how long I had to wait before Google notice my site and got indexed, at that time it was about 10-14 days with 3 domains at least, namely 2-hosts.com, 18affordablewebhosting.com and oneseoasia.com. Oneseoasia.com is a testing site, testing my SEO abilities, while others two are hosting site which I managed to sell hosting as my first online business. At that time, I was tweaking my websites, getting links and with the hope rank well in search engines. In fact some of my low competition keywords such as “seo asia”, “affordable Web hosting hong kong” did rank well in Google, (top 10). Later on, I found there are skills to make sites that index faster, some claimed less than 24 hours, some claimed 2 hours, etc. But in this post, I shows you what I know and works which got most of my website 10-14 days to get indexed in Google database.
(1) Getting links from high “Page Rank” site.
Page Rank basically is algorithm of Google that shows how important a web page is. The values typically start from 0-10; being 0 the less important while 10 the most important. To get links from high page rank site, these days is by using Web2.0 properties such as Squidoo, Hubpages, Wikipaint, WikiHow and something like that. (Their page rank are from All you have to do is write in some articles that related to your site topics and add a link back to your new site. Now all you have to do is gather links for your articles in Squidoo or Hubpages and get your site indexed faster. The reasons why I suggest you to add an article in Hugpages and Squidoo are they are well established web site. and 10 thousand of new contents added everyday, so Google robots do come back often and check their contents. Once they come and found there is a new article that links back to your site, the robots will follow it hence start to store in the search engine database.
(2) Gather links from relevant online forums.
When gather links, we always want to link some relevant resources that might help our readers so it is the best to gather links from relevant sources. One way of doing it is to search for online forums in your niche that allow you to put a “DO Follow” link with NO javascript or other form of redirect in the signature file. For instance, for “make money online” or internet marketing niche, search for any relevant forums such as internet marketing forums, domain forums, web hosting forums, seo forums, and so on will do. I will pick the top 10-20 most relevant results in the niche and sign up as a member one by one. But before you do that check:
- if other members have a link on the signature file. If it is the case, most likely the forum you interested allowed a link
- check the link if already indexed by Yahoo search engine by using an advanced command:
[quickcode] link:yourdomain.com site:SomeForumhere.com [/quickcode]. If there is a result returned, most like the link is indexed by search engine - check the page of that forum source code of the link you investigated above has rel=”nofollow” or rel_external=”nofollow” tags on. If it is the case, the search engine robots will not follow that link and you site will NOT be picked up fast nor affect its site search ranking. (see the follow picture for example)
Click to enlarge - similar to above, this time, check with if there is a redirect at that link as well. If there is a redirection, your link will not be get indexed as well
That’s about what I know for forum link building. One note is don’t gather links too fast as you may raise a red flag that Google thinks you are doing something naughty. I will say at the maximum 10 sites per day when you use forums to gather backlinks. You may also submitting articles to articles directories such as ezinearticles.com, goarticles.com, articledashboard.com or others high traffic articles directories to gather links. However, your articles have to be first get human approval before being listed. As for our purpose is getting your site index fast in Search Engines. Article directories submission should be your last resort of this strategy.
How Do you Know Your Site Got Indexed?
To know it basically type in the following command in Google search box for example:
[quickcode] site:xyz.com [/quickcode]
and if Google returned one of your web page as the result your site is indexed.
That’s it for today. As at the end, I am challenging myself to get a new website indexed in 2-3 days in Google at the date of domain purchased. I am confident that it could be achieved and I will post the result here so stay tuned!
