One of the problems most people have is how do they get their new pages indexed in Google quickly?
Since I started this blog in March 2006, my answer is always the same: use blogs.
I have spent a lot of time creating static websites before, but now almost all of them are replace by Wordpress blogs. Here’s why:
- You can add and manage content easily
- Your pages can get indexed easily by tagging Technorati and also pinging a couple of ping sites
- You can generate a lot of user-driven content from the comments people leave on your website
I think the third point is the most important. Here’s an example of how I got ranked number 2 in Google very fast for the keyword “easy member pro” and “easy member pro review”:

As you can see, the part that’s displayed by Google is actually a comment left on my post by a user. I never had the word “review” on that post, but I did have a lot “easy member pro” keywords.
I got ranked for this in days, not weeks or months. Of course it’s not a competitive keyword, but it’s highly targeted.
How Do I Know If My Pages Are Indexed?
I don’t check for each and every page, but I do use the Google Alert service. I make an alert for my name “gobala krishnan”, so everytime Google indexes a page with my name on it, I get an email notification.
I was suprised when I get notifications just a few minutes after making the post, either on this blog or on Easy Wordpress. That’s how I know my pages get indexed fast.
The Google Alert service also helps me keep track of affiliate promotions, and how many people are talking crap about me ![]()
So, if you want to build a high ranked site, use blogs, and encourage user-generated content. I go through great lengths explaining the entire process in the Wordpress Adsense System, and you should get it if you’re new to blogging.
Update: Here’s the email from Google, about 30 minutes later:

Gobala,
I agree that you could get your page indexed faster with blog. But do you think an affiliate website promoting physical products with links from a datafeed could be presented better with a blog or with a static website just to make sure that all the pages will be indexed?
Are you saying that every time Google indexes a page it will add this to their Alert-content? that’s pretty use full information!
I think article submission is the best method to get indexed on google. Try to submit your article to Ezine and other major article directories. The 2nd is directory submission.
thanks for sharing.
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.
Yeah, article marketing is just one way but it works quite well..
