Blog indexing has really gone beyond sumitting blogs and sites to Google, see why !
It is a known fact that about 67% (just speculating) of your Blog's traffic will come traditionally via search engines, and submitting your Blog's URL to these search engines does not even guarantee that your blog will get indexed at all, How ever the following tips I will be giving you below will help you get your blog automatically indexed in less that 24 hours without even bordering submitting your blog's URL to any of these top search engines.
Get your blog indexed in the next 24 hours, please don't even bother to submit it...
Writing and Submitting Articles To Article Directories:
This is of course one of my favorite methods of getting my Blogs indexed in a matter of hours from the time my article is being approved for display by the directory, remember search engines love fresh content and article directories are notorious for fresh contents every minute of the day. So when you write and submit articles, remember to leave your blog's url in your resource box so that when search engines crawl these directories (which is every day) they'll index your content and your url as well. Though the recent algorithm change by Google has in some ways Depreciated the value of links generated via articles, since most articles directories are mere content farms according to the "farmer or Panda update". Not withstanding this new change, article writing and submission still has its weight in gold. All that is required is to conform with rules and new TOS of some of the top article directories that are still in the business since most of them are into extinction and the ones remaining like ezinearticles, goarticles, articlesdashboard etc have sine got their acts together by weeding out irrelevant, duplicate and spam contents from their database, with all the recent and ongoing reforms going all across cyberspace since the Big G heavy hammer, it is my believe that if article writing and submission is done properly, it will regain its pre-panda value in this post panda times.
Forum Posting:
A lot of people still don't know that high traffic forums like AskMen Forums, Digital point forums, Warrior Forums etc, bring in most of the traffic they could enjoy on their blogs that is if you are a resourceful and active user of any of the forums in your chosen niche; to get your blogs indexed by search engines, when you register on any of the forums, make sure you complete your profile and resource box by including one or all of your blogs url; when you contribute to any thread, your blog's url will be displayed below and if your contribution is good enough, most forum members will decide to see your blog, and if they do, just consider your blog one click away from being indexed by Google and Yahoo!
Social Bookmarking:
If you are fond of Digg(ing) your post, getting it StubledUpon or even making it Del.io.us and so on, this is another source of link love for your blog; and since most of these sites are loved dearly by search engines, when any of your posts get bookmarked on any of these social sites, this is a big boost for it, and remember when it gets such boost, your blog's url is not left from the party, getting it easily included in Google and Yahoo's yellow pages. And I tell you social sites like Facebook have really gained more with the recent panda update, and sites who are lucky to get more digged or retweets are really soaring high up in SERP, don't say you heard it here first
Posting Comments on High Traffic Blogs:
Though most blogs are "no follow" by nature especially some WordPress Blogs, however they are still others who are "do follow" and allow link backs to your blog and since these blogs get top listings in search engine result pages, it means that they are crawled regularly by top search engines. When you make comments on these blogs, make sure you leave a link back to your blog, when search engines crawl these blog, they will index your comments with your url: and make sure you make good and resourceful comments; not comments like "I like it", "very good post" "nice, thank you" and you expect to get a click from such comments, no my friend.
Leaving Links on already Indexed Blogs:
, Most people make the mistake of submitting a new blog's url to search engines, well this is setting your new blog many leagues behind; rather leave links of this new blog when you write posts on your old and already indexed blogs; when search engines crawl your already indexed blogs, they will index your postings with the link of your new blog, getting it indexed in less than 24 hours, try it!
HubPages.com:
Though this great site is a "no follow" kinda platform, but yet it is one of the greatest web apps that can help your blog get indexed in less than 24 hours, remember Google, Yahoo, MSN love HubPages, so when you make hubs, include your blog's RSS feed in any of the Hubpages RSS Feed Capsule, and consider your blog so exposed for comfort as the hits will trigger off, don't say I told you.
Squidoo.com:
HubPages look alike, but the only difference is that squidoo is "do follow" which is another source of link love for your blog, all you need do is import your Blog's Feed to your lenses's module, giving your blog's post the exposure it sure needs, wonderful! I heard you say.
