Indexing At The Speed Of Google
It’s now 10:15am.
While I was sleeping last night — around 2:50am this morning — my website scored a visitor from Latvia (fresh stats are thanks to the WP-SlimStat-Ex plugin I use with WordPress, although I also run the awesome Google Analytics package).
Anyway, in the stats I can see the search term the visitor used to reach my site, and I often then put that back into Google (in this case, www.google.lv). And I can see that in the natural search results, I was ranked on the page in positions 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 and 8 — and that’s even with my last name spelled as “Kenedy” instead of “Kennedy”!
But — I can see how quickly Google updates its indexes at times — only one HOUR ago (9:13am), I had made a post in the Warrior Forum, and this post was already in the Latvia Google rank at position number ONE!
It wouldn’t have been there at 2:50am … which shows just how quickly — less than one hour — a public forum post ended up in Google, and in the Number 1 natural rank position.
Is it just me, or is anyone else also blown away this lightning-fast “Google-speed” … how incredibly quickly Google keeps up with the online world?!
