Tips for Making Google Crawl Your Blog More Often

Written by Andrew Rondeau in search engine optimization advice | 139 Awesome Comments - Add Yours?

Google Crawl Your BlogThere are literally thousands upon thousands of blogs on the internet. There are blogs about every niche imaginable.  As such, there is a great deal of competition out there.  Bloggers all have a variety of techniques they use to obtain traffic.  However, most people agree that nothing beats organic, natural, search engine traffic.

Blogs and web pages are picked up regularly by Google and ranked in order of relevance.  Google crawls some blogs more quickly than others, depending on relevance, backlinks, etc.  The pages that are indexed quickly referred to as “authority” pages.  If you want your blog to be indexed quickly, you need to increase its relevancy and value.

Here are a few tips for optimizing your blog so that Google will crawl it more often:

  • If you can, update your blog every single day with unique content. Web pages with duplicate content are indexed very slowly, if at all.  The content should be informative, have some targeted keywords (a keyword ratio of under 2%), and consist of no “fluff” or “padding”.

  • Optimize even the images on your blog. Don’t just label them as “pic1.jpg” or “pic2.gif”, describe what they are.  You could also name each image as an important keyword.  Use the WordPress plugin, SEO Friendly Images

  • Make sure your posts are internally interlinked professionally (i.e. link from one blog post to another), and that your blog is easy to navigate through.  The more posts your blog has, the better.  However, don’t compromise on the quality.  It’s better to have ten informative, well-written, and unique posts than twenty bad ones.

  • Turn on the trackback and pingback options for every single post. Many people don’t realize the importance of this, especially in regards to a Google crawler.  With these options on, you will be directing a Googlebot to crawl and find your new posts. Use the MaxBlog Ping Optimizer plugin.
    You can see exactly how to set up the plugin here: Increase blog traffic

  • Try getting as many quality backlinks from relevant sites as possible. One way you can do this is publish some good articles in article directories and add your link to the “resource box”.  Some directories will let you add two links, and some even three.  These sites get ranked very high by Google, so your articles (with the links) will be indexed rather quickly.

  • Keep your URLs simple, yet effective. Long, complicated URLs take longer to find and index.  You need to make them easy to remember and to the point.  And, as mentioned above, all of the URLs within your blog need to be organized, easy to find, and directly linked to the relevant content.  All of your old posts need to be linked to all of your new posts. Use the Clean Slugs plugin. You do have to join Yoast’s newsletter to get this plugin but it’s well worth it.

  • There is some dispute as to whether black hat SEO methods are worthwhile. While using such methods probably will get your blog indexed quickly, they’re extremely risky and your blog can end up being banned.  It’s therefore safer to use white hat methods, as they will ensure that your blog will be indexed more quickly over time.

In summary, you can get Google to crawl your blog more quickly by making it as search engine friendly as possible.  This means all of your URLs need to be organized, your content needs to be unique, the keywords need to fit in naturally and not overstuffed, etc.  Google loves authority websites, so try to make yours as relevant as possible.

    Like to read the post. Well I want to elaborate my opinion here.

    My each blog post index within few minutes after published. My blog niche is work at home, As far as I know that google rank a page according to the number of quality backlinks, but I have seen some huge difference on backlinks and search engine ranking. Some sites only getting a few hundred backlinks are top ten on google for keyword “work at home” and some other getting thousand backlink not top ten rank on google.

    What other people think about it?

      Chandan,

      As you say it’s about the QUALITY of the backlink. Thousands of backlinks from pages with PR of 0 are not as good as 100 backlinks from pages with PR3+…but only Google have the real answer!

        Ok, but I have analyzed some of the scam sites that top ten on google for keyword “work at home”, most of backlink they are getting by posting on free classified sites and spam on forum. I do not think that link from free classified sites are quality link. I already discussed about it DP forum but no can can explain about it.

    Amazing technique Andrew Rondeau, I am absolutely agreed with you. If we want to make Google Crawl then quality back link and updating unique content is most necessary. Another process is adding Google site map and submitting in all major search engines after posting content in Blog.

      Re: comments.

      Depends upon the site where you are commenting. Some do, some don’t. It depends upon whether they have the ‘dofollow’ function set up. My site does, so you do get a backlink when you comment here.

      Thanks.

    In my own experience the fastest way to get indexed is to have a lot of backlinks. Not even the quality is that big of a deal there, just have someone link to your new content and you the indexing will be guaranteed.

    You can do this by, commenting a lot on other blogs that have commentluv plugin installed. It will make your new stuff indexed in a few hours.

    Hi, great post. I recently started a new blog. I found that posting regulary and commenting on sites is the best way to get indexed. Just in the few weeks its been up, I have already seen more traffic to the site.

    I try and find sites that allow dofollows and commentluv. Even if they do not allow those services, I still tend to comment on those sites I find of value. Even without these services, you can still get new readers and get backlinks that way. – Yes I know it won’t be much. But if you can provide additional information to that blogging community it is always worth it in my opinion.

    Eye opener. I always thought adding alt and title tags to images was the only SEO needed for images. I never knew that the actual name of the image mattered.

    Now my problem might just be that I have my robots.txt blocking google from accessing my wp-content folder. Is that a good thing for people looking to gain traffic via image searches?

      Great question!

      For what we know, the GoogleImage bot tracks down images from the posts where the images where inserted.

      If so, you can still block your wp-content folder from being accessed.

    I totally agree with all the tips but I’ve got a question with the very first one.

    I really want more proof it it’s really true that duplicate content will make the indexing slower? I just wonder because most article directories get dup contents – does that mean they get their pages indexed much slower even if they are considered authority sites already, meaning with high page rank..

      I don’t know what I have to contribute as far as getting google to crawl more, but I have been frustrated lately with figuring out how long it takes for google to crawl!

      Everyone KNOWS it takes a different amount of time depending on the site, but nobody seems to be able to tell you what the difference in time is.

      Since google has crawled my site, it has grown immensely. I now have a page with a site map, I have unique buttons that I have created myself to help guide users (and I will be taking advantage of your ALT suggestion). And I’ve got a variety of pages.

      I’m sure google will be impressed with my blog when it comes back, but until then, I will be checking obsessively everyday like a child waiting for a new toy in the mail until google finally crawls my site again.

      Lastly, besides searching for the site on google, is there any other way to find out when the last time you got crawled is?

      Thank you!

          I have done all that except submitting a sitemap. I use blogger, and apparently, blogger (as part of google) creates its own sitemap, and so it’s not necessary, or so others say.

          I’ve tried to find a place to add my own sitemaps, but that’s just not possible with blogger, and the sitemap it has is pretty comprehensive.

          However, I have just now told google to use the feed as a sitemap as per an option I found in Google Webmaster.

          I’ve already verified it (with the meta link) and it says it has 9 pages indexed, but no matter how I try to tweak the search allinurl: site: et cetera, it only comes up with 4 pages, and it says it crawled it just today.

          I looked at my crawl statistics, too, and they seem to be doing fairly well (considering I don’t have many pages).

    I really appreciate this post Andrew because it has really good suggestions to improve crawls. My first goal is to post every day as mentioned. Something else that I discovered that can get more Google,Yahoo, or MSN crawls is by simply updating your email profile page(ex. yahoo,gmail,msn) with comments and leaving your personal link after the comment. I have noticed that Google crawls my page within 24-48 hours of doing this and got one of post indexed already. I will bookmark your site.

    Do you agree with this? dofollow (obviously better) but nofollow links are good as well. A link is a link? I have read from some blogger’s that dispute the fact that a link is a link and some have even stated that some of the nofollow links are showing up in there logs.
    I agree that a link with a PR greater than 0 and is relevant to your subject is way better, but is it worth commenting on a post for, I.E. has a PR5 with nofollow?

      No follow links don’t help you rank in any way in Google according to the head of Google’s Webspam team Matt Cutts and I quote:

      [*] Nofollow links definitely don’t pass PageRank. Over the years, I’ve seen a few corner cases where a nofollow link did pass anchortext, normally due to bugs in indexing that we then fixed. The essential thing you need to know is that nofollow links don’t help sites rank higher in Google’s search results.

      Therefore getting a link that is no followed might help you with exposure but in no way will it help you rank.

      All the best,

    A very interesting post. But from experience I have seen that sometimes Google takes a very long time in crawling certain websites and blogs. I created about 10 backlinks and even after that it took 3 weeks for my blog to show in search results.
    Off course after that there was no looking back as some times I got crawled twice a day sometimes but it very irritating to check whether ur efforts get you the ranking or not. Guess we will have to leave it to Google.

    Hi Andrew! Google does index sites at different rates depending on your posting & content. I noticed that when I post more often like every day, googlebot visited my site immediately. And a couple of times when I had a long vacation and post less, it takes longer for google to index the new pages.

    Also, sometimes posting slightly similar content will be harder to index since google can see it as a duplicate. Tweaking the title and the content a little bit more helps a lot.

    Hello Andrew,

    Can you give us some information on how to do interlinking internal post? is this something to do with HTML configuration or can you do this off wordpress directly?

    Thanks

    This is very true. Google have a very good set of criteria in their search engine to index the relevance of blogs according to searches. If your blog is having a lot of traffic and page rank, it opens up into a business opportunity.

    you also can resubmit your sitemap to Google , Google will crawl again if they found something new on your website or blog.
    You may download seo powersuite to ping Google.
    The more frequent you update your content , the more frequent google will crawl your website

    Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately, I’ve done most of these already. I guess it’s time I go through my blog and eliminate less relevant posts.

    What a brilliant post. You should do a series! :) I did a sort of blogging for dummies over
    on one of the craft forums and I thought it was too simple for them, but the amount of
    emails I got asking questions just like what you addressed was unbelievable. As young
    people today we have grown up with computers, but it’s easy to forget that even people just a few years older have not! Really good post! :)

    Regularly adding new content and optimizing images are useful strategies as is on page SEO (internal linking). The latter is something many bloggers are obviously unaware of given the number of articles I read on sites that have no internal linking at all.

    Yeah, i think the more you get backlinks, the more you’ll rank in google..but I really don’t know for sure..it’s really confusing for me sometimes ..maybe it also depends on the keywords you use so people would visit your site..

    Hi Andrew,
    Thanks for all the help. Great site :0)
    I wondered if you could help me… I’ve just started a site where I give away freebies. But I’ve been putting Amazon ads at the end of each post, as part of the post. Do you think this prohibits a Google crawl? I’ve been adding two to three posts per day for just under a month and I’ve not been crawled yet. I submitted my blog address to Google about a week ago. I’ve linked from my regular blog and from my partner’s blog. And I’m getting a few visitors from Twitter, but only 20 or so per day. Is it just early days? Or should I take the Amazon html away from the posts?

    Google loves fresh content and hence it is the 1st search engine to crawl content on my blog within a few minutes of publishing also Google loves backlinks which contribute to a higher PageRank which is crawled often. Thanks for sharing the tips Andrew. :)
