Getting Google to index MORE per day than it does, not with greater frequency nec.
-
Hi
The Googlebot seems to come around healthily, every day we see new pages that we've written the week before get ranked, however, if we are adding 12-15 new products/blog entries/content bits each day, only about 2-3 ever get indexed per day and so, after a few weeks, this builds up to quite a time lag.
Is there any way to help step up the amount of new pages that get indexed every day? It really will take 2 or 3 each day, but no more than that, it seems strange. We're fairly new, around 6 months creating content but domain name 18 months old.
Will this simply improve over time, or can something be done to help google index those pages? We dont mind if the 15 we do on Monday all get indexed the following Monday for example?

There are a few steps you can take:
-
you can ping Google with an updated sitemap after you add new content
-
you can earn links to the new pages. If you earn any links from high authority sites, Google will find the new content much faster.
-
you can increase the authority of your website by earning links. For example, Google usually indexes new Q&A questions within a couple hours. This fast indexing is due to the perceived importance of this site and these pages.
-
you can provide better internal linking to the new content. A great technique is to add a "New Products" block to your home page and then add these products to that block. Google indexes content directly linked to your home page faster then if you have it buried in your site.

Hi Jamie
OK, recently updated the sitemap and linked up all the pages we completed within yesterday (about 16 original content bits). I am HOPING they all go up together, 2 or 3 pages a day is killer.
Thanks
