I am writing this post after many friends asked me when i started this blog, How did you get your site indexed by Google in less than 48 hours? Infact, I got my last 2 sites indexed in less than 40 hours. Of Course, there will be an advantage only if you have content by then, else it doesn’t matter much.

Its pretty simple and just a few steps to be followed and few precautions to be taken. I use only Wordpress powered blogs and its a guaranteed working method so don’t blame me if you are using some other CMS system and your site doesn’t get indexed in 48 hours.

1. Don’t ever ever goto Google and add your site there. I am talking about the link at www.google.com/addurl

2. If your using Wordpress, then download the Google Sitemap Generator Plugin. What it does is create a .xml sitemap file of your blog which can then be used in step 3.

3. Then goto Google Webmaster Central. Login with your Gmail id and password or incase you don’t have one create one.

4. Verify site which is done by several methods which are very elaborately explained inside.

5. Click on Sitemaps and then goto Add new Sitemap. You will then be asked to give direct link to your sitemap you created using your plugin. If you goto your plugin config page, you can see the link to your sitemap, mostly it will be http://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml. So just enter that and click Submit.

Thats it. You’re done. Your sitemap will get submitted in a few hours and in less than 48 hours, you can come back to Google Webmaster Central and see the message, Pages of your site are indexed by Google. Always remember never to add your site directly to Google as it shows your site is not strong enough to get indexed by itself and requires a bit of help from Google to get it done, thats when your site gets indexed in like a week or even a month or the rarest possibility of never getting indexed.

Its not over yet. A small effective trick is still left. What I do is I goto sites like Digital Point, Sitepoint etc and add my new site in my signature and continue to participate in the forums. So, what happens is Google picks up that kind of ‘recommendation’ from the big sites and indexes your site faster.

The above mentioned steps are the same for any CMS or blog system. The only difference is the Sitemap generator plugin, which i am sure every CMS system has one already. No more waiting times, get your site indexed asap.
