I’m hoping that this works as I’m sat today in a meeting explaining the benefits of having a good well written blog, that overtime will gain authority and readers, and how amazing Google are these days at indexing fresh content. So as I am writing this I am hoping that as soon as I click publish that Wordpress will ping Google and they will come and index this post, and hopefully in the space of a few minutes I will be able to take the top slot for “How Fast Does Google Index Fresh Content”.

So lets start the test .. 1.. 2… 3..

    So Google is showing the post title in the meta description for the homepage using the query ‘how fast does google index fresh content naylor’. But the post can’t be seen in G’s cache of the homepage or in the index. Yet. Funky delay?

    I hope it’s a long meeting. =)

    I’ve had Google index my posts (WP Platform) in less than 45 seconds. I ran a similar test a few months back.

    My personal best is 18 minutes to page 1 on the targeted term. I find the game is more fun when the objective is not just getting indexed, but SERP also… LOL

    I wondered when first time I noticed that my new blog is being indexed in less than 20 minuets. But those results wont be there is place for a long time. After two three days, it looses it’s position from #1 to second page or some.

    Here is the article I posted that time.

    That I doubt. Google can’t be everywhere. I could see every 5 minutes for a site like Digg maybe…

    Google indexes content very, very fast in my experience, a few days at most. But then again it depends on your industry maybe? If there are 300 000 000 competing sites…don’t know really, in my industry (Vancouver transportation) the competitor’s sites never have fresh content…so Google just jumps on my site!

    Sometimes Google does a very bad job at indexing. One of my sites has over 700 pages, I’ve tried Joomap, XM-sitemaps, plain text, XML, HTML sitemaps. Google sitemaps ect…they just refuse to index deep into the site. So sometimes it’s not really about speed, it’s about being indexed at all!

    Tried a little test myself. Seems random. Sometimes fast, sometimes not. Trying to figure out variables:
