I do agree that having a sitemap.xml is important. Using Wordpress or blogging platform is great inline with pingler.com, which seems to help with fast indexing.

Good article. I would like to add another point. Website speed! 2010 is going to be the year of “fast websites”. Google will rank websites according the speed of a webpage. It won’t be the main factor but G will consider it while ranking. So working on reducing http requests, creating image sprites and moving javascript files to the footer will definitely help making your website faster. We have recently worked heavily on making the website faster and right now my website is loading pages within 5 seconds.

Also, Anton’s point is really good. G seems to delay indexing new pages. I see G indexing our new posts/pages atleast from 1 month to 2 months. Social Networking brings the G bot to your new articles pretty fast.

Regards.

Great article. Most of my content on my site and blog is directly linked into social media channels. The fastest time I had a page indexed was 33 minutes through social media. That means the URL is indexed but not necessarily the content with keywords.

In the past I remember waiting for days if not weeks to get sites indexed but it has changed with Web 2.0.
