How To Get Your Blog Indexed By Google n Minutes

@
The truth is that Blogs are quickly indexed by Google. Blogs are crawled often by google bots as well. Some bloggers report that their newly created blogs takes weeks, a month or a couple of months before it is indexed by Google. To know if your blog is indexed by google, go to google dot com and type the following in "http://yourblog.com".


Below is a screenshot of my newly created blog which Google indexed right away after I created it and wrote my first post. This is the new blog I created "Weird Finds".



I took the screenshot today but my blog was started yesterday. I failed to take a screenshot immediately after it was indexed because I only thought of writing this post today. How did I get my blog indexed by Google so quickly? For old time bloggers, I think this is not a secret anymore, but for newbies who I presume to comprise the greater number of readers for this blog, this is something new and something you should know.

To get your new blog indexed by google quickly, the google spiders or google bots must visit your blog. To make this possible you only need to do three things. First is to log in to your adsense account and get the adsense ads for your new blog. Second, put the adsense code in your blog. The google spiders|bots will start crawling your site to determine the ads to be displayed. The third and the easiest part "just wait"!

When the Adsense ads are already displayed in your blog as it takes time to appear once you put the code, go to google dot com and type in your blog's url. If your blog's URL is already listed in google, then your blog is indexed! In my case it takes less than 5 minutes to get indexed by Google.

This idea is based on personal experience. Some bloggers also do this technique. I have a blog which I started earlier than my Weird Finds blog but with no adsense ads on it yet. I submitted it to some directories already but its not yet indexed by google. It's over a week already but its not appearing in Google yet. But my Weird Finds blog which I have not submitted to any directories is already indexed in minutes by google.

Try this technique and let me know if your site is indexed quickly or not.

Less is More with Adsense

@
I noticed a sudden drop of adsense revenue last february. I can't figure out why for sure but I had to adjust and experiment once more with how the ads in my blogs. Today I think I figured it out. After a week of experimetation I noticed that less ads results more money for me in terms of how much I get per click on my adsense ads.

For instance in almost all my blogs with adsense ads on them I only put two adsense for content. For my Lady's Confession blog and Make Money Online blog I have one large rectangle inside my every post and one skyscrapper in the sidebar. I only allow one post to show in my homepage. I do all of these on the theory that the lesser ads in my blogs the more concentrated the ads will be. By that I mean, google will only show the most targeted ads, high paying ads in my blogs. If I use too many block ads, I'm giving room for low bidding advertisers. If there are many low paying ads in my blogs and visitors click on them the lower my cost per click is thus affecting my overall earnings.

This is a statement I gathered from JohnTP as he quoted Jane (I don't know which Jane he is referring):

The theory is that sites bid for their ads to be placed on contextually relevant web sites with the highest bidders getting the best adsense spots (the higher the better). If you only show 4 ads in 1 block, then adsense will place the highest 4 bidding advertisers in those spaces netting you the highest profit. The more ads you show, the more lower-bidding advertisers show up on your page that when those get clicked, your cpc becomes lower than it could be if they weren’t on your page to begin with.
The statement above supports my concept. Although there are other factors to consider. A major one is the keywords used.. For instance in my Lady's Confession blog, when I made a post mentioning jewelry, gold and diamonds, I get over a dollar click. So if you will implement lesser ads in your blogs try to target keywords which you think are high paying. Try it yourself and see if it works for you.
