Submit URLs to Google and get Indexed in Google within 24 hours

Leave a reply

Most of my friends ask me for a better way to get indexed in the Google. Usually we have to do nothing until Google fetch our new website and get indexed automatically. Now Google has provided a better way to get new websites, URLs indexed in Google search results usually within 24 hours. The new URL can be submitted to the Google via Google Webmasters tool. Fetch as Googlebot feature in Webmaster Tools  is used for this purpose.

Fetch as Googlebot feature in Webmaster Tools now provides a way to submit new and updated URLs to Google for indexing. After you fetch a URL as Googlebot, if the fetch is successful, you’ll now see the option to submit that URL to Google index. When you submit a URL in this way Googlebot will crawl the URL, usually within a day. Google will then consider it for inclusion in its search index.

This new feature is very usefull in several situations, if you’ve just launched a new site, or added some key new pages, you can ask Googlebot to find and crawl them immediately rather than waiting for Googlebot to discover them naturally.

How to submit a URL to Google

First, use Diagnostics > Fetch As Googlebot to fetch the URL you want to submit to Google. If the URL is successfully fetched you’ll see a new “Submit to index” link appear next to the fetched URL.

Once you click “Submit to index” you’ll see a dialog box that allows you to choose whether you want to submit only the one URL, or that URL and all its linked pages.

Sending Private Message in Google +

Leave a reply

All of you might be excited to use the latest social networking site from Google called Google Plus. Those who are familiar with Facebook will find it easy to get a grip on the new platform. Experts says Google + as a cross-breed of Facebook & Twitter. You will find several similarities between the Facebook and Google +.

But when you are intending to send a private message to a friend, you may look for a message button or link on their profile. But you will never find one. That doesn’t mean you can sent a message to your friend.

You can send a private message to any of your friends in Google + just by posting the message to you Stream but be careful to choose the friend from the box below you message. For a clear idea check out the following screenshot.

Also you can add a person to your share list by just mentioning them using ‘@’ before there name. See screenshot below.

Also you can send a private message to a list of friends or to any particular circle of friends. When you share the message it will be displayed in you stream.

Seeing the private message on your stream may have disturbed you. Anyway I didn’t find it cool. But relax, its just visible to you and the friend(s) you mention in the share list.

Anyhow this messaging system doesn’t work as well organized system. Its just like you updated something which is visible to the friends you mentioned. The cons of this system is you cannot recover the whole conversation history with any of you friends as we can do in Facebook or any messaging system. Also the recipient cannot replay to your message as it is actually not a message but an update. So what the recipient can do is comment on your update to respond.

Google Adsense expanded Western Union Quick Cash as an AdSense payment method to 10 new countries: Saudi Arabia, Croatia, Iceland, United Arab Emirates, Latvia, Lebanon, Slovenia, Tunisia, Moldova and Malta. If you live in any of these locations, you can now sign up to receive your AdSense payments from your local Western Union agent. With Western Union, you’ll receive your earnings sooner, since you won’t have to wait for checks to arrive in the mail or clear at the bank. Plus, AdSense won’t charge you a fee to use this payment method.

Please keep in mind these important points:

  • Payments will continue to follow the normal payment schedule and will be available for pickup at your local Western Union agent the day after they’re issued.
  • You’ll need to present a government-issued ID that matches your AdSense payee name when picking up your payment. If you need to update or correct the payee name listed in your account, please follow the instructions in the Help Center.
  • Right now, only individual payee names can receive payments by Western Union, not businesses.
  • Payments must be picked up within 60 days of issue, or they’ll expire and be credited back to your account.
  • Payments will be made in US dollars, but depending on your local Western Union agent, they may be picked up in your local currency.

Google Chrome OS : Your Computer Is No Longer Personal, But Your Data Is

Leave a reply

At Google Atmosphere, a CIO event about cloud computing held in London, Eric Schmidt explained why Chrome OS is meaningful:

The promise of Chrome and Chrome OS is that the devices that you give to your employees will have a 2-second boot time, will be completely disposable and the price will be incredibly low.

Chrome OS computers will no longer be personal because it doesn’t matter which computer you use. After logging to your Google account, Chrome OS will retrieve your bookmarks, themes, settings, web history from Google’s servers. Your data is stored in a central location and you can access it from all your devices.

Computers will boot almost instantly, so you no longer have to wait. They’ll be cheap, easy to replace and to maintain.

You can already use Chrome on your computer, but a Chrome OS computer is optimized for running a browser, doesn’t have extraneous software and it’s inherently more secure.

How Google Search Works Video

Leave a reply

Here is a video released by Google to explain how the Google search actualy do the job of searching. When we hit the search button on the Google we are not not searching the web, instead it is searchin the index of the web stored in the servers of Google. Google creates an index of the web pages it can find and it returns the most relevant results by evaluating more than 200 quality factors. Google’s search results are impartial, they’re clearly separated from ads and they’re returned in less than half a second.

Indexing is done by a software called spiders. Spiders analyze a web page and index everything on that particular page to the Google’s servers. Then it fetches other pages linked from that page and do the same job in those pages. This process is called crawling. As the spider crawls the web, the more and more web pages get indexed by the Google.

All the activity involved in a searching is beautifully illustrated on this video.
