Google Blog Search Indexing Posts Within 120 Seconds
Yesterday I was trying to take advantage of the Favourite blogs meme run by Mashable.
Mashable were displaying a Google Blog Search widget to show all posts linking to this post on their site. Mashable has loads of readers so I figured if BlogStorm could be the first one listed in Google Blog Search I would be onto a winner.
Under the Publicize tab in Feedburner there is a service called PingShot which notifies various services when you post. I have 5 additional services including the Google blog search pinging service listed so whenever I publish a post Feedburner pings a bunch of sites to tell them.
Feedburner also offers a pinging service of their own so you can tell them when you post.
Google is fast!
Armed with these tools I published the post, pinged Feedburner, Feedburner pinged Google and I sat back, waited a few seconds and started refreshing Google Blog Search to see how long it would take to get indexed.
This is the cool part, the blog post was indexed in Google in about a minute. I don’t know exactly how long but it was less than a minute. Pretty cool, huh?
Was it a fluke?
Tonight I published another post and tried again. This time it took just 120 seconds to be indexed in Google Blog Search. I took some screenshots below.
How fast can you get your blog posts indexed? Maybe some of you could take screen capture videos and we can see who is the fastest?

I’ve seen this too - not using Google blog search though, but in the snippet displayed in the SERPs. I’ve made posts and then seen the snippet change accordingly within minutes. Google is fast!

Wow, thats pretty darn fast. Going to try my own little experiment, but I think in the long run I’m okay with waiting a few hours which is typical with the normal pinging services I’ve used.

I have seen it too. Actually google blog search engine is quite fast in indexing but something more interesting is that within a day when you search in gogole main search engine for the related PHRASE for your post, most probably you will find it under top 10.

Wow, this is an impressive test…I never thought Google was THAT fast… but then, it’s just a bunch of bots
We all know, that the only reason all those ugly delays (even for really strong links) are imnplemented in Google is to make SEOs crazy… not for a practical reason…

Excellent tip. We tested it on a few of our blog posts and the technique worked for us as well.

How does it affect blogs with low PageRank, and newly created ones. I have a new blog which does not get indexed yet after more than a week. Is quick indexing has relevancy to higher search rank though?
