How do I get my wordpress site indexed in Google?

Submit Your Tip

I just started blogging on my own wordpress website but my articles are not showing up in google when I search for them. I know search engines have to index posts but it has been 3 days and none of my articles are in google as yet. Is there like a proper procedure to get a new website indexed or do I just wait?

Create a Google Account, then sign up for Webmaster Tools, it's FREE. Add your new site to Webmaster Tools, then go to Optimization > Sitemaps.

Submit your XML based sitemap to let Google know about the pages published on your site. This makes the crawling fast.

If possible, you can ask a friend or someone you know who has a site which is indexed very fast to give a link to your site. This way, when the bot comes to their site, it will automatically come crawling to you too.

Tip 5 - Use Pingomatic.com to notify search engines

Pingomatic.com is a great tool for you because you just have to add your address to it and it automatically shares your new posts with search engines, making them want to to come over, crawl and index your page.

Tip 6 - Share your content and links on Social Media

Social media platforms have become major sources of information for search engines and if you share your link on any one of them, the engine bots will come to your site as well. This way you can get indexed fairly.
