What is Google Indexing?

If you have never built a website, you may be asking yourself, “What is Google Indexing?” Every website builder wants their website showing up on the search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing. Google Search is used the most, so you want them to know about your pages. Once they discover your site, they have a formula to determine if the pages will be indexed and where they will rank compared to other sites like yours. If they have your pages indexed in their database, it is a good thing. When you rank high for quality popular keyword searches, you get free traffic.

This page is just a basic introduction to getting indexed and being found on the search engines.

Google Index Education

If you have ever bought a domain (your own dot com) and didn’t make your contact information private, they you have probably received a bunch of emails about  page 1 of Google. Ignore all the emails from others about getting your site found on the search engines and focus on providing good content. You can start your google index education later.

Making sure that your website is ready to be found before Google crawls your website is the key to getting found on their site. If you are building your website with the free website builder tool mentioned on this website, then the settings should be set-up correctly. If you haven’t built a website yet, start one for free with the banner link at the bottom of this page.

Search Console

All of the big search engines like Google have some type of search console to help website developers learn more about how the search engines see your pages. Once you have set-up the basics of your website, you will want to register your site on search console. There will be requirements for verifiication. I recommend that you do not do this before you have a chance to build out your site with some basics. Make sure you have an about page, contact page, privacy policy and maybe a few articles. More on this can be provided in free training if you wish to access it from the resource page. Look for Affiliate Training Course link.

Do you know about the <site:domain> command?

Go to google.com and type in the search bar “site:anydomainurl” and click search to see what pages google has decided to add to their index for the domain you are searching.  There is a site command search tools training module you can watch on this page.  This also works on yahoo and bing search engines.  For new sites, you may only see a portion of the pages. For developed sites, you could see thousands of pages in the index.

You might be tempted to do this a lot for your new domain. It takes time and will happen if you keep focusing on adding great articles to your website. Don’t worry about the daily rankings. There will be a time when you get pages ranked very fast.

    This is very good information for people wanting to start a website! You gotta keep things simple, and just point out to the big source of information (in this case, Wealthy Affiliate program). I wish I had stumbled in websites like yours when I was starting 🙂 I wasn’t too unlucky though, as I’ve found WA through Nathaniell, and he has been my mentor since. It has been a great learning journey 🙂 good post!!

  4. Anybody that has a website will learn that to be indexed by Google, or be found by other search engines as well, is very important. Learning about search engine optimization, using keywords and writing quality content, all form part of the journey to have your site and individual blogs indexed by Google. This is important for newbies, but also for advanced bloggers.

  5. Hello and thank you for such an article. 

    Recently I have created a website and was looking for information on how to make it visible to Google. 
    I had not idea bout google indexing so was doing a little bit of research and stumbled upon your post. 

    Great, so basically every time I publish a post I can go ahead and ask Google to index it, using the Search Console. 

    I am sure a lot of newbies like me appreciate such content. 

    Wishing you all the best

    • You don’t have to resubmit every post. Once you have set-up search console properly, you will be able to see what google is doing. Eventually, google will index posts faster as your site becomes trusted more. Search Console just gives you some insight on the backend. As sites get bigger, you will find Google can help you improve with what they tell you on search console.

  6. I know about Google Indexing because I have searched that before today. The site domain command was new to me. I didn’t know that could be done. You explained how to do that in a very simple way for everyone to understand, providing very useful information in an educative way. Thank you.  I am sure you will educate a lot of people about Google indexing.
