At 4:56am, my new post is not indexed. Let’s see how long it takes to get
the post indexed.
1. Click on Fetch as Google in the left sidebar of your Google Webmaster
Tools dashboard Google pre-populates the beginning of your post URL so you only have
to enter the last portion (after the .com/) of your post URL in the URL
box and then click the clipsreel review
3. You should see the URL show up in the data section along with a green
checkmark showing that it was submitted. Click the Submit to Index button to the right of the Status column Go back to Google and search again for your clipsreel review by the URL and you
should see the URL now shows up in the search results (if it doesn’t
show up right away, wait a couple of minutes and check again)
Look at that! At 4:56am my new post was not in the Google index but by
using Google Fetch it was in the index by 4:58am – 2 minutes to get a new
post in the index! Just because the post has been indexed doesn’t mean it ranks on the first
page of Google yet. It simply means that Google knows the post exists and
can start working on where it should rank.
However, a good test to find out what Google thinks about your post is to
search for the post by your post title. By 5:09am I’m in the #1 position in
Google for my new post when I search for it using the clipsreel review :
