It’s amazing how fast Google indexes and ranks pages. I’ve seen pages get into Google and rank in the top ten for a phrase in less than 1 minute and I recently tested just how fast Google publishes your content if you’re well connected.

If you have WordPress installed (or any site with a RSS feed), you should have a feedburner plugin installed, then you can ping Google direct.

If you have done this nip over to Google Feedburner, sign up (none of my clients need to do this of course) and register your site. Ensure you have hit the Publiscise button and choose Ping Services. Make sure Google and Pingomatic are selected.

What I also do is sign up to the feed in my feedreader (Google).

Next time you write an article, Google knows about it, and depending on the quality of the article, the age / health / trust / authority of your site, you’ll be injecting content directly into Google – and fast.

This works for me. I wonder if it’s the fasted way to actually get your blog content into Google?

We've recently updated our comments policy and increased the number of comments a visitor has to make to get seo friendly links in comment signatures to reward long term readers and make it a bit harder for dofollow spammers ;) - I told you dofollow spamming wasn't a long term strategy....
