You may have noticed a lot of affiliate software and programs flowing through the blog over the last 2 days. There is a reason behind this madness, I am not just trying to make you go broke by wanting to buy all these great promotions.
I have been conducting my own crude test to see how fast my blogs are getting indexed by Google. As well as trying out a new link cloaker / tracker, which I will talk about in another post.
So you want the non-professional results of my indexing experiment do you? Well I will give you the down and dirty, as I am still working on it, and I kinda skewed the results. First on the front end. This site currently sees what I would consider ZERO traffic, it isn’t actually zero but nothing to speak of. Less than 50 visitors per day. I am working on that too. This site also currently has very few backlinks, i can count them on one hand. I said the test was skewed because I am in the middle of redoing the site, and I changed the structure from a subdomain to all on the top level domain in the middle of the test. (OOPS)
Well here’s the dirty results. 3 of my posts were direct copy ezine articles from the affiliates tools section of the given affiliate. These were indexed within 24 hours! The others were indexed within 48 hours. No too bad. But I am no SEO expert so they do not rank well for their keywords. But gotta crawl before I can run.
The catch. This site is setup in Googles Webmaster tool, with a sitemap submitted and generated by the WordPress plugin “Google XML Sitemaps” This plug-in not only rebuilds your sitemap on an update, but it will also ping Google, Yahoo, and MSN to tell them you updated.
So you tell me, how fast do your pages get indexed?
