Get indexed quickly: install Google Analytics!
February 25, 2008
We’ve had a flurry of activity lately–8 new sites up in a month. One thing we’ve noticed with new sites is that simply putting Google Analytics on them will result in Googlebot making a visit within 24 hours and your site will appear in the index (use the site: command) in about 48. With ZoomGiftBaskets.com, we uploaded the site yesterday, put Google Analytics on it around 5PM, and Googlebot was on the site this morning. No links, completely separate IPs, no Webmaster Central, nada–just Google Analytics installed on every page.
We’ve thought this for a while but putting sites up back to back has really made it more obvious. This would make sense as Google’s goal is to index the world’s data and their analytics code is installed on all over which makes their job of discovering information a whole lot easier. We didn’t take the time to put together a bunch of statistical data so this is just a theory based on our observations at this point.
Has anyone noticed any evidence to either support or debunk this?
