Getting indexed by search engines specially Google is very important. There are lots of tips given by professional bloggers regarding on how to get indexed in a matter of minutes or hours. This is true, more or less as quick as 5 minutes you’ll see you blog or articles already on the search engines.
Getting indexed is not easy as what other bloggers say. It also runs on a system that requires priority, like having a priority number to pay or buy in a store. It also happens in the internet but not with a priority number. As what I have observed, it depends on how high your PAGERANK is. No matter how many tips you do, you just can’t get indexed as fast as minutes or even days if you don’t have that priority.
This is how PAGERANK is important to blogs and websites. I observed this on this “blogspot” blog that I have been maintaining for the past 2 weeks already. This blog (blogmatters.net) is already running for 4 months and I did every single detail from tips being given by bloggers but I don’t see any changes. Even after a day, I don’t see any of my newly posted article on search engines but when I post on this PR5 blogspot blog, for 5 minutes I can see it already on search engines and earning a good traffic ranging from 300 – 5000 unique hits a day.

That’s interesting, JP. So, after a day or so of making a new post on here, it’s not indexed? Seems odd. Do you have a sitemap for your blog? There’s a good plug-in I can recommend.
One way I find out when Google indexes my posts is that I setup a Google Alert for my website URL. If my new post is indexed, I’ll get an alert in my inbox. It’s a quick and easy way to find out. It’s obviously not the only way, but you may want to set it up for your site.
I guess the only thing to do is keep building backlinks.

Hi Alan,
Yeah it’s not indexed right away. What’s this tool Alan? it’s interesting.
What about this Google Alert? I think this so I can keep track of my new articles getting indexed by Google.
Thanks for the info Alan.

Hey JP,
The sitemap plug-in can be found here: http://www.arnebrachhold.de/projects/wordpress-plugins/google-xml-sitemaps-generator/.
For Google Alerts, just go to http://www.google.com/alerts and setup alerts for your name and URL.

It also depends on what you actually write about as well.
Do you mind sharing your other Blogger blog?

I also agree with that Jay. If you write a very unique and particular niche you will be on the top of the list.
