How fast does Google index your pages?
Oct 3, 2008 SEO
From time to time I post comments on my twitter account (I tweet). I have my blog set up so that it will also download and convert my tweets into blog posts. Today I made a post before noon, somewhere in the ball park of 10:00 and 11:00 A.M. Right before lunch, 12:00 for shit and giggles I decided to do a vanity search on my blog. Low and behold the post that was just made to my twitter account was now being indexed. I’ve seen this before but only with video that has been loaded to Youtube. The video showed up within hours but after a day or two the video disappeared. So I’m wondering if this entry is working on the same type of principle.  For the next couple of days I’m going to keep a close eye on this post to see if it in fact disappears. The only real connection I can make is that Google owns YouTube and now owns Feedburner, so perhaps since they get the ping basically instantly they may temporary index the listing, sorta like a Digg effect. This is actually a good idea, supposing someone is blogging about a currently event, his or her information my be available to the public instantly… Kind of gives the term “Hot off the press” a new meaning
Here’s a screen shot of the search result
