Blog Post appear in Google Quicker than normal web pages

Something I have noticed recently is that Google adds blog posts to it's index a lot quicker than normal web pages.

I posted an article on a sister blog last night ( www.buymagazines.co.uk ) at about 11pm - by lunchtime today it was in the Google index - amazing. Of course this could have been a coincidence, but I have noticed this time and time again - so here are my tips on getting your blog index rapidly.
  1. Make sure it is already being visited by Google. The easiest way to do this is to get a link to your blog from a website that is already in the Google index.
  2. Make sure you have a xml sitemap and submit it to Google Sitemaps. Automate the site map to update at least once a day.
  3. Get links from other blogging websites if you can.
  4. Update your blog regularly.

And that is all there is to it.

Happy blogging
