      Hello,

      I have a new website and updated fresh content regularly. My indexing status is very slow.

      When I search how to improve my indexing rate by Google, I found most of the members of Moz community replied there is no certain technique to improve your indexing. Apart from this you should keep posting fresh content more and more and wait for Google Indexing.

      Some of them asked for submitting sitemap and share posts on Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus.

      Well the above comments are from the year of 2012.

      I'm curious to know is there any new technique or methods are used to improve indexing rate?

      Need your suggestions!

      Thanks.

        Hi Susanta,

        If you can share the URL of your domain, we will be able to answer better as the rate of indexing differs from site to site and also depends on lot of things like the website internal linking structure, website architecture, your backlinks and the list goes on..

        Sitemap.xml is definitely a good way to give the indexing rate of your website a boost. But the story does not end there as there are lot of things that come in to play.

        Best regards,

        Devanur Rafi

          Hi Susanta,

          If I was you, I would focus on site performance. Having a fast responsive site means you can expose more of your site & contents to Google during each crawl.

          If you have all this great content, it might be a matter of making the site faster so that Google can index more each time.

          Crawl rates and indexation are largely affected by your PageRank and Authority with Google so this does get better with time as your site improves in these areas.

            Hi Devanur,

            Thanks for the help! Here's the URL of my website www.getyourtips.com

            Here's a screenshot of the index status of the website on GWT: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nyrwjvvmt0novu7/Screenshot 2014-06-10 14.32.12.png

            Here's a screenshot of the search queries page: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2js1oqtrtseg56g/Screenshot 2014-06-10 14.38.30.png

            The website is a little over 2 months old.

            We have submitted the Sitemap already.

            We used to post 4 posts per day during the launch of the website but we have reduced the posting to just one per day since last week.

            Would like to know if there is anything more we should do apart from submitting sites to different blog feeds to get the index more frequently.

            Thanks,

              Thanks for the info Susanta. After a quick check, I see the sitemap.xml that you submitted has only 130 URLs in it and there are 230 pages (omitted after 182) indexed in Google from your website. So, can you tell me how many pages are there in total in your website?

                Thanks for your help, Kavit

                the website's URL is www.getyourtips.com

                As per the results shown by PageSpeed test on Google, the website scores 69 out of 100 on mobile devices and 79 out of 100 on desktop PCs.

                https://www.dropbox.com/s/xmfw6zci8hih3sn/Screenshot 2014-06-10 14.48.09.png

                While there's still room for improvement, I think the scores aren't that bad at the moment? Please, take a look at the site and let me know if I could  change some properties to make it load even faster.

                This is a brand new website (just 2 month old) and it might take a while to establish authority or get some PageRank. Considering these, what should be the best foot forward?

                Thanks,

                  Nevermind, there are about 497 pages on your website. So, I would ask you to use a comprehensive sitemap.xml file and submit it to Google. You can use a tool like GSite crawler to generate one.

                    The site has about 140 articles as of now. So there are 140 post URLs. This apart, there are many category, tags, author pages. So the number should be 230 URLs as indicated by Google. However, Google may show only post pages no a priority. This is just my hunch. Thanks,

                      As mentioned earlier, you can create a comprehensive Sitemap.xml file and resubmit to Google. Give me your email address, I will create one for you and send it 🙂
