How Long it Takes My Blog Post to Reach Google
I was teaching a class to some USVC students, (now Utah State University) with Paul Wilson this evening. I demonstrated what it looks like to make a blog post and made a sample post. Then I deleted it. I made the post at about 9:30pm. At 10:20pm I got a Google alert about the post. That means Google indexed my new post (which is really like a web page since each post has its own URL) in less than an hour.
A regular web site that isn’t updated very often (like most web sites) could take days or weeks to get a new page indexed in a search engine. I love blogs. Can you see how this can benefit your business? More pages in search engines. Since around 85% of your web site visitors will use a search engine to find your business, that’s what you need.
It’s hard for me to mellow out - it’s such fun to teach what you love. I’m on a high.

It’s true that blogs get crawled very often if you place new content on a regular (daily?)base but less than 1h…that’s really fast.
Most of us do preach the ‘do-the-blog-thing’ but when I look around I see that it’s very hard for most people to keep up with a blog, especially if they need to post something on a regular base. Most of them also don’t see the value of a blog.
