How To Get Indexed By Google In One Week
May 23rd, 2007 by CourtWhen I was doing SEO-consulting aka hand-holding, I tried to tell people again and again that they could get their sites into Google in less than one week if they would do it the way I told them to. Most of my clients were just downright obsessed with submitting their sites to search engines. Some of them would do it on a daily basis!
Submitting to Google is the worst thing you can do if you want to get into their search results.
If you don’t want to believe me, then do it your way! Come back to me after it takes you 6-10 weeks to get indexed by Google, maybe you’ll be ready to believe me then. If you’re addicted to submitting to search engines, you are hurting your chances of getting indexed quickly.
Many of you are going to say that this theory doesn’t make any logical sense. Why would Google have the tool if it doesn’t work? The answer is that it does work, it just takes 6-10 weeks to do so. If you don’t get indexed for 6-10 weeks, it’s going to take you 8-12 to get any search engine traffic.
How To Get Into The Google Index In A Week
The easiest and fastest way to get into Google is to get a link from a site that’s already in. If you are able to get a link from a site that has a Google PageRank of 5 or higher, you will get in really quickly. If you get a link from multiple sites that have decent PageRank, you will easily get into the Google index in less than a week.
A good friend of mine just started a new site called TradeMacro.com. He is an experienced stock broker and offers advice on good trading and investing. He started the site and posted for the first time on May 14, 2007 – nine days ago. He did not submit to Google, but was able to get a few links by going through my D-List, and by pinging Technorati and other blog search engines. He got indexed by Google in less than three days, and was getting traffic in less than one week. If he would have submitted, he would have been waiting around for weeks.
I’ve seen this 100 times! I got into the Google index in less than a week and so did some of my other friends. I’ve never seen this method fail when a new site is able to get 20 links or more. If you use this method, you will get in more quickly as well. Best of luck!
If you’re not sure how to get links from other sites yet, check out these articles from my archives:

P.S. – This method works great for Yahoo and MSN too.

This is not my first site but it was the first site that I did not submit. And the results were great. My site was up on the 14th and on the 16th I was indexed. And for some of my keywords I was on the front page. It was a lot faster then my other sites.
I was one of the people who thought it made sense to submit my site. I while it might make intuitive sense it does not work that well in practice.
May 23rd, 2007 at 11:27 am
My first few sites all got submitted as well! Almost everyone thinks that it’s the way to go. Without question it works a lot better to skip the step though.
I’m glad that you started TradeMacro, it gave me a perfect example and proof of the theory! Thanks a bazillion!
May 23rd, 2007 at 8:04 am
Great post! Well, I guess my laziness paid off! I never submitted my site to google…
May 23rd, 2007 at 11:28 am
I love when it works out like that!
May 23rd, 2007 at 9:26 am
Interesting…I did both!
For Ryanshamus.com – I got a few good backlinks AND submitted my site to Google, but it wasn’t any more than a couple of days before I was indexed.
So what I’m thinking is that the right backlinks pretty much trumps the submission, right?
May 23rd, 2007 at 11:29 am
I think you might have been a little lucky! When I have done both I have always had to wait.
You’re right though, the right back-links can trump anything. It can even trump getting kicked out of Google altogether.
May 23rd, 2007 at 9:44 am
I submitted to google when I first started seven months ago. It didn’t do anything. Traffic didn’t pick up until I started getting links, ect. Wish I knew about this site, so I didn’t have to learn the hard way.
May 23rd, 2007 at 11:31 am
Most of us have done the same thing! When I first read about this concept, I didn’t believe it. After I tried it, I saw that it worked and changed my mind.
It’s so counter-intuitive many people reject it.
May 23rd, 2007 at 9:47 am
It seems like everything comes back to backlinks – getting indexed, getting PR, etc. At the end of the day does anything but backlinking really matter when it comes to SEO? Should we be spending time with anything else if we want search engine traffic?
Great post.
May 23rd, 2007 at 11:33 am
You’re definitely right there, everything does come back to backlinks.
There are a few onpage SEO techniques that can help:
Keyword in page title
Keyword in URL
Keyword on the page
Backlinks trump them all.
May 23rd, 2007 at 10:47 am
Mark I think you are mostly right. It seems probably 80-90% of your SEO work should be backlinking. Maybe I am wrong but that is the feeling I get.
May 23rd, 2007 at 11:34 am
Absolutely, spending hours doing onpage (onsite) SEO would be a huge waste of time.
Spending hours getting backlinks would be highly profitable.

I cant really say that I fully agree with this post – First, yes, I completely agree that the only way to get Google to index your site quickly is through promotion and backlinks, especially those from sites which already rank reasonably well in Google. However, I cant agree with the idea that submitting your site to Google is going to hurt the process. Submitting a sitemap to Google likely won’t get your homepage or most of your site indexed any faster, but it will help Google find and index the obscure pages that don’t get linked to too often. I have submitted every site I start to Google’s sitemaps, and it has taken between a few days and a few weeks to get indexed – depending on how quickly the sites gained link popularity, but regardless of whether or not I submitted. Furthermore, by submitting a sitemap, you gain access to valuable tools in Google’s webmaster central, which include things like seeing how often they’ve crawled your site, the keywords they think your site mostly focuses on, and a much more accurate link count than the “link:” search gives you. Overall, you’re right – the focus should be on promotion, not search engine submission. But, in my opinion, the step shouldn’t be skipped, especially with Google.

Hi Peter! I appreciate your point of view on this.
I don’t think that it’s bad to submit a sitemap to Google either! The submission that this article is talking about is the generic submission that you can find here:
http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl
Submitting an XML sitemap is a different topic and I would agree with you on that one.
May 23rd, 2007 at 3:20 pm
I see – my apologies for commenting on the wrong page!
I didn’t realize google even ran a submission page like that anymore. I would completely agree that submitting to that page would be basically useless, and a waste of time.
May 23rd, 2007 at 5:23 pm
No worries, I’m sure you weren’t the only one that thought it! I’m glad to clear up any confusion.
May 23rd, 2007 at 5:07 pm
Hey Court,
I’ll also back up this information for you. A few months ago I started building links to a new, unindexed site on a Tuesday and was indexed by Thursday. Personally I think that getting an article on a good PR article directory is one of the best ways to go!
May 23rd, 2007 at 5:24 pm
Definitely! I have been able to get a lot of links from article directories, there are some really good ones.
Sometimes it’s pretty easy to get great links from other blogs too!
May 24th, 2007 at 11:08 am
Too right. Don’t tell Google anything about your site if you can help it….let it find you!
May 27th, 2007 at 11:11 am
That is the opposite of what most people would think. It make sense however, Google prefers others promoting your site rather than yourself.
June 2nd, 2007 at 6:36 pm
Absolutely!
June 2nd, 2007 at 7:23 am
Another thing that should be mentioned, Court: while you do get indexed FASTER by letting Google find you on their own, there’s also a lot of evidence that you get RANKED better.
June 2nd, 2007 at 6:37 pm
Very true! Thanks for mentioning it, the lesson isn’t really complete without it!

[...] A person can go to my sitemap and find all of my posts organized into categories. Google and other search engines use HTML sitemaps as a resource to find all of your pages. They do this by following all the links to discover each page. This means that as long as all of your pages and posts are on your HTML sitemap Google will be able to find them, assuming you linked to your sitemap from your homepage and your homepage is in Google’s index.

I have to say that everything you have said is so true. Without submitting my site to Google, in less than a week Google indexed my new site.

Nice tips of how getting indexed on google. Allow me to add that back links are important factors.
Thanks for sharing this nice article.
January 31st, 2009 at 11:43 am
I have learned from online forums that article submission is the best method to get indexed faster on Google. Mr. G. loves it. Other Search engines will index your site if you have more and more back links.
Anyway, you can write fresh articles and submit them to big article directories, your site will be indexed faster.
Thanks.
August 21st, 2009 at 2:48 pm
I’m always trying to find a way to get more pages indexed. Links, webmaster tools and submission has been my best tools.
December 17th, 2009 at 5:53 am
Nothing trumps backlinks. The big G will always find you anyway.
