Get indexed by Google fast and easy

I guess you have been told that getting indexed by Google is nothing that happens in a day. If you don't do anything to speed up the process, it's pretty much the truth. Google will index your pages but sometimes in can take weeks. But I bring some good news, you CAN get indexed fast by Google. The truth is that it is incredibly easy to do , plus you can do in less than 5 minutes! Many other sites advocate many other solutions to get indexed by Google fast, but it's not really necessary to do anything else than this.

What you have to do to get index by Google in 48 hours guaranteed, is to send them a sitemap of the pages you want to index. Easy, right?

The sitemap must be a .xml file where you put the URL of all the pages you want to include, and Google will do it for you.

How to write my sitemap.xml file?

To write a sitemap.xml is not complicated but to make it extra easy for you, we will use a free tool to generate one. Go to http://www.xml-sitemaps.com, enter the URL of your website then press "start" and the tool will follow your links and find all your pages.

Download the sitemap and place it in the root folder of your website (where your index.html file is).
The file you download looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset
xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9

Send your sitemap.xml to Google to get your pages indexed

If you don't already have a Google webmaster account, create one now (www.google.com/accounts). Log in to Google webmaster tools and choose the site you're working with. In the bottom right corner of the home screen there is a sitemap section. Press "send sitemap" and enter the URL of your sitemap.xml. Which should be http://www.yoursite.com/sitemap.xml.

All you have to do now is wait. Most of your pages should be index in about one day.

Let Google index your website through other websites

Another way to get indexed by Google is to let someone else help you by linking to you. When the linking website gets crawled, the Google-bot will follow the link and crawl your webpage. This is not a fast and easy way of getting indexed but it is something everyone should have in mind. It is not always easy to find websites willing to link to you but if they do you wil be rewarded. If the page linking to your website has high PR, some of that PR will be transferred to your webpage and it will rank higher. My advice is to always look for potential link traders on forums and communities. But the best way is to just write good quality content. It is not easy but it will automatically make people link to you.
