Factors that Influence the Indexing Speed of a Website in Google

Now a days Internet marketing is a big boom among young IT professionals. Everyone starts their Internet marketing career by starting a website or blog and expecting visitors to it. Among them around 80 percent will not add content to their website or blog after a few weeks and gradually forget the blog address itself. In the rest of the 20 percent, only a half knows adding content itself is not enough to boost their website in Google. Though they realize there are some other factors which influence the promotion of a website in Google, most of them will not bother to do so. This is because they think promotional steps are so tough to follow and it is worthless in wasting time and money in promoting their website. In reality website promotion is very simple and interesting if they follow the some simple steps.

Indexing the website in Search Engines is the first step in promoting a website. Normally Google spiders will find the home page of a website after few days and index them. We have an option to submit our website URL in Google, Yahoo and other major search engines but it takes a long time to trigger Search Engine spiders. This may take one day to even months for discovering the new website by Google spiders and no one can guaranty whether it will be indexed or not. Though we cannot control the behavior of Google spiders there are some factors which influence the speed of discovery by them. They are:

1. Links pointing to the new website
2. Sitemap submission in Google webmaster tools
3. Frequency of content update

Most important point which increases the speed of website indexing is the presence of inbound links to our new website. Inbound links are the links pointing to our website from other websites. When Google spiders visit the source website they will follow the link pointing to our website. Once Google spiders discover our website, it will be indexed soon in their database. So if you need to index your website in Google in short period of time it is advised to create links to your website from multiple relevant websites. For indexing purpose you can take the advantage of social book marking websites like Digg, Mixx etc. Google spiders are always visiting those website and they will follow the links shown in their site. Another Good choice is participating similar topic forums and leave a link to your website from it.

Another method to index your website in Google is registering your website in Google webmaster tools and verify the ownership of your website. After verifying the ownership of your website in webmaster tools you can submit your sitemap. Google spiders will read the links written in sitemap and visit our website. Sitemap is an XML file with a list of all URLs present in your website. It is a good practice to create XML sitemap for your new and already existing websites. It will increase the transparency of your website in Google.

Last point I need to say is the frequency of content update. If you follow a fixed frequency in posting new articles in your website, it will result a fast indexing in Google. If you are a professional blogger it is very important to keep a fixed time period to post new article.
