How much time is Google taking to index a new webpage, and how can we accelerate the process besides using Google Webmaster Tools?

by admin on October 15, 2009

Well, the simple answer is to get more links. We can index a page within seconds, certainly within minutes, if we find, for example, CNN is linking to you. We’ll crawl that very, very quickly.

We can find new content quite quickly, if you have a blog or something like that, we’ll come back pretty often and check for it. But the best way is to make sure that you have enough links so we think that you’re a really useful site and that we come back pretty often.

  1. Why does Google crawl/index blogs (specifically sites notified by “WordPress XMLRPC pings”) so much faster than a “normal” site submitting a revised Sitemap? What is the impact of that on the overall “quality” of the index?
  2. Is there a limit to the number of pages that Google will index from one site?
  3. Does Google value its own links for PR/Linkjuice? Google Bookmarks, Google Profiles, etc. Reason – Google links never appear in Webmaster Tools
  4. Can the “Change of Address” feature in Google Webmaster Tools be used to merge two websites (site B becomes a part of site A), or is its use limited to moving a site from one domain to another? Do you have any advice on successfully merging sites?
  5. A question to non-intended duplicate content: If an online shop can be reached through several TLDs (like .de, .at, .ch) and the only difference is the currency, (and necessarily the checkout process) does Google consider this duplicate content? What can be done?
