This is pretty cool :)

I'm used to getting sites placed in Google within a day or three, but I just landed some #2 & #3 results in less than a 1/2 hour. New site, new domain ... not a highly contested keyphrase, to be sure, but still ...

Ya, I'm stoked!

Ok, back to work.

Yup - held overnight, even went up on some keywords. Was showing nested results, too.

This afternoon it's dropped, but that's typical for a new result. We'll see what Monday brings.

Update - The site is holding well. After the drop a couple placements actually rose a point.

This just proves the incredible speed that Google has for their indexing. You no longer have to wait "several weeks" to be spidered, then indexed some weeks after that :)

Goog is a mind blower - some stuff nobody even submits makes it there in a day or less. I've found news articles about us there within a day with nobody telling them to go look for it. I also have a site linked nowhere I was testing that they somehow found and I really can't imagine why - they must also search domain registries for new domains or something. Funny thing is, this one I didn't want listed cuz it was just a test site.

Good work, by the way. Did you submit them a site map?
 
Yes, I did submit a sitemap. The sitemaps I use are dynamically generated so they contain up-to-the-second info. That said, the page that was indexed in 16 minutes wasn't in the sitemap at the time the sitemap was downloaded by Google. The sitemap is to give Google some more starting points for crawling. I do have a couple tricks for getting Google to spider something really quickly...

Google indexes primarily by crawling links - although there has been testing and speculation that implies they may also use toolbar data to find sites / pages not otherwise linked. If you're doing a test site, password protect the site (really easy in Cpanel) to prevent anyone or anybot from getting in. I've been burned on that before, myself :)

Good tip - thank you and yup I bet it was thru their toolbar. Sneeky bastids.

My hosting company will generate and submit a sitemap for me once daily - I just have to tell it to. I also have a great asp.net generator that Brian F turned me on to, other ones I had been using were limited in number of pages they would crawl. But now with this new feature on my host it's a no brainer for me.

And since I updated my bridal site yesterday - time to generate one for it!
