While the general idea of how the Index works is pretty easy, actually getting Indexed can be a very hard thing to do, especially if you’re impatient. Explaining it is relatively simple and that is what I am going to do. You can get into Google’s index really easy and pretty quickly if you play your cards right and follow the “rules”.

I should say now that I am saying page and not site for a reason. Generally your whole site consisting of lots of pages won’t get indexed or at least it won’t get indexed as a whole. It’ll be Indexed page by page.

You/people  have different pages and links for a reason. Besides making it easy for your visitors to find what they want, it makes it easy for Google to find too.  If you’re nice to Google it’ll be nice to you too.

The search engines have remote computers called “spiders” or “bots”. These spiders scour the web for new or updated web pages. When they are out and about spidering or crawling (like a spider) they almost always pick up on the new and or updated pages.

In order for the spiders to crawl your page you’ll just need a few ingredients to your page. Let’s call the requirements to be indexed, The Foundation For Indexing ok? There are a few basic requirements if you want to Indexed. I’ll go over them in detail and explain why each is so important.

As an example, think of building a house. When you’re building a house you don’t just have a house built in one day. You can probably do the foundation in a day with the right team and tools but the furniture, fixtures, etc… will take time.
