Index quickly a website? (Google,Bing..)

Hi,
I would like to know what are the best practices in 2012 to index our website in less than 24 hours? (or less..)
Thanks for your answer

Great! Glad to hear it.

Hi Probikeshop,
I think you'll find our section on sitemaps in the Beginner's Guide To SEO to be helpful:

Hi Probikeshop, You've gotten some good responses here. I think you might like to watch this Whiteboard Friday from 2011 about fast indexing: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/whiteboard-friday-get-indexed-faster-with-richard-baxter Things haven't changed significantly since that was posted and it has some great tips. Make sure you've done a good job with your on-page SEO and that you've got a really crawlable structure, upload your site to Google Webmaster Tools, create a flurry of Social Media buzz about the launch of your new site, get a few good links as quickly off the bat as you can and then prepare for ongoing efforts. Noting your screen name - Probikeshop - if you've got a local business, it's time to get started with your Local SEM. Your website will get indexed...though possibly not in 24 hours...but it will be indexed quickly if you are making the right efforts to build well and promote actively.

It sounds old skool, but use the google submit site feature as well if it is new. We've seen some evidence that this might in fact be useful again.
My first port of call though would be WMT account & submit a sitemap.
-
1- Create Google & Bing Webmaster accounts
2- Submit Sitemaps
3- Share in Twitter, Facebook, Google Plus, Reddit, Stumbleupon, etc
I'd also tell you to get some quality links but that usually takes longer than 24 hours

I'm not sure there is any technique that can guarantee a new website gets crawled and indexed withint 24 hours. However here are some tips that will certainly help.
1. Make sure you set up a webmaster account with each of the search engines. Within the dashboard of that webmaster account (I'm thinking of Google WMT here) you can have the crawler fetch the page, than ask that Google crawl that page (and all linked pages on it.) While you are there be sure you submitting a site map as well.
2. Also the various search engines allow you to summit your content. For example: http://www.google.com/submityourcontent/website-owner/
3. You could try to build some high quality links on another site that get crawled on a regular basis.
4. If there is good content on the site you could share it on social networks, twitter, fb, stumble upon, etc. Just make sure there is quality content there, otherwise your social network may not like you very much.
5. This is perhaps the best tip: Share the link on Google +. I've had pages indexed within minutes after sharing them on my Google + page. Here's a White Board Friday that Rand did that talks more about Google + http://www.seomoz.org/blog/why-every-marketer-now-needs-a-google-strategy
I hope these tips help you out.

There is no way to control how fast a site gets indexed.. However if you follow good on-page optimization and create/upload a sitemap to the search engines, it can help your site get indexed faster.

Fake Links indexing in google
Hello everyone, I have an interesting situation occurring here, and hoping maybe someone here has seen something of this nature or be able to offer some sort of advice. So, we recently installed a wordpress to a subdomain for our business and have been blogging through it. We added the google webmaster tools meta tag and I've noticed an increase in 404 links. I brought this up to or server admin, and he verified that there were a lot of ip's pinging our server looking for these links that don't exist. We've combed through our server files and nothing seems to be compromised. Today, we noticed that when you do site:ourdomain.com into google the subdomain with wordpress shows hundreds of these fake links, that when you visit them, return a 404 page. Just curious if anyone has seen anything like this, what it may be, how we can stop it, could it negatively impact us in anyway? Should we even worry about it? Here's the link to the google results. https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Amshowells.com&oq=site%3A&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j69i57j69i58.1905j0j1&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=91&ie=UTF-8 (odd links show up on pages 2-3+)

Google dropping pages from SERPs even though indexed and cached. (Shift over to https suspected.)
Anybody know why pages that have previously been indexed - and that are still present in Google's cache - are now not appearing in Google SERPs? All the usual suspects - noindex, robots, duplication filter, 301s - have been ruled out. We shifted our site over from http to https last week and it appears to have started then, although we have also been playing around with our navigation structure a bit too. Here are a few examples... Example 1: Live URL: https://www.normanrecords.com/records/149002-memory-drawings-there-is-no-perfect-place Cached copy: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https://www.normanrecords.com/records/149002-memory-drawings-there-is-no-perfect-place SERP (1): https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=memory+drawings+there+is+no+perfect+place SERP (2): https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=memory+drawings+there+is+no+perfect+place+site%3Awww.normanrecords.com Example 2: SERP: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=deaf+center+recount+site%3Awww.normanrecords.com Live URL: https://www.normanrecords.com/records/149001-deaf-center-recount- Cached copy: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https://www.normanrecords.com/records/149001-deaf-center-recount- These are pages that have been linked to from our homepage (Moz PA of 68) prominently for days, are present and correct in our sitemap (https://www.normanrecords.com/catalogue_sitemap.xml), have unique content, have decent on-page optimisation, etc. etc. We moved over to https on 11 Aug. There were some initial wobbles (e.g. 301s from normanrecords.com to www.normanrecords.com got caught up in a nasty loop due to the conflicting 301 from http to https) but these were quickly sorted (i.e. spotted and resolved within minutes). There have been some other changes made to the structure of the site (e.g. a reduction in the navigation options) but nothing I know of that would cause pages to drop like this. For the first example (Memory Drawings) we were ranking on the first page right up until this morning and have been receiving Google traffic for it ever since it was added to the site on 4 Aug. Any help very much appreciated! At the very end of my tether / understanding here... Cheers, Nathon

If Google's index contains multiple URLs for my homepage, does that mean the canonical tag is not working?
I have a site which is using canonical tags on all pages, however not all duplicate versions of the homepage are 301'd due to a limitation in the hosting platform. So some site visitors get www.example.com/default.aspx while others just get www.example.com. I can see the correct canonical tag on the source code of both versions of this homepage, but when I search Google for the specific URL "www.example.com/default.aspx" I see that they've indexed that specific URL as well as the "clean" one. Is this a concern... shouldn't Google only show me the clean URL?

Google Sitemap - How Long Does it Take Google To Index?
We have changed our sitemap about 1 month ago and Google is yet to index it. We have run a site: search and we still have many pages indexed but we are wondering how long does it take for google to index our sitemap? The last sitemap we put up had thousands of pages indexed within a fortnight, but for some reason this version is taking way longer. We are also confident that there are no errors in this version. Help!

How to Stop Google from Indexing Old Pages
We moved from a .php site to a java site on April 10th. It's almost 2 months later and Google continues to crawl old pages that no longer exist (225,430 Not Found Errors to be exact). These pages no longer exist on the site and there are no internal or external links pointing to these pages. Google has crawled the site since the go live, but continues to try and crawl these pages. What are my next steps?

I have a site that has both http:// and https:// versions indexed, e.g. https://www.homepage.com/ and http://www.homepage.com/. How do I de-index the https// versions without losing the link juice that is going to the https://homepage.com/ pages?
I can't 301 https// to http:// since there are some form pages that need to be https:// The site has 20,000 + pages so individually 301ing each page would be a nightmare. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Do you consider the guidelines from http://validator.w3.org/ when setting up a new website? As far as I know they don't influence rankings ... What is your opinion about that topix?
