Get some inbound links, then wait 6 to 9 months.

You can increase the process by submitting a sitemap to Google. Try to use:
www.xml-sitemaps.com

Ha ha. 2 weeks? It can take anywhere up to an entire year to get properly indexed... Submitting a sitemap to Google doesn't guarantee you will get indexed quicker. At best, a Google sitemap aids spiders in crawling your site.

HI,Swinger

whether I need modify sitemap and resubmit Sitemaps frequently?

I often wonder why it is that people pick up on the piece of "advice" that won't actually do anything useful and decide that is the magic answer.

Sitemaps do NOTHING for indexing AT ALL. XML sitemaps are only useful IF there are problems with the pages being crawled.

Hi, chrishirst

I can see the google bot crawling my site's homepage daily from access log,

But indexed nothing!

You've got two major problems that I'm surprised no one else has brought to your attention yet.

1) You're putting a site into an oversaturated market. Lyrics sites are a dime a dozen these days. What do we need yours for? It's not like you're going to supply any original content through it; you're just recycling what others have already recycled. This is the big one.

2) Why should Google index you if you're obviously trying to screw with them via the link exchanges on the bottom of the page and the ones on the left navigation bar? Think about it; if someone tried to mess with your site by submitting a million fake songs with a hidden embedded hyperlink to their site in it, would you let them? Same general principle here.

Simply put, if you want to get indexed more effectively and more quickly, build something original that peoiple will want to link to organically, rather than building something that everyone else has built that forces you to link exchange to get a link at all.

Link exchange is a dead concept. Let it rest in peace.

I agree 100%.

Do not wait for other just type your site url in the search box and check.

**fastreplies** · 04:59 PM

Just to echo what Adam said and to give you something to think about.

Add to your Lyrics Pages Authors Bios, when and why song was written, if there is any awards and what they are for etc. and only then you may start going places.

This is call building content and as long you are going to offer foundation without a structure on top off it G. will pay no attention to your site

hehehe nice humor for sure....heres wat i do and it works everytime
submit the site to propeller.com ,which used to be netscape.
submit it to digg.com and a few other sites like del.ici.us etc and the spiders will run to you like a hot curry.Thats all i have ever done and i get indexed in 24-36 hrs everytime
good luck

**caleonard** · 03-10-2008, 01:56 AM

that said I do agree with adam and a few of the other comments 100%.

**manishkapoor1** · 03-10-2008, 01:43 PM

If you want to quickly get indexed by google, I would suggest you to submit your website to some high pr social bookmarking websites. Because these social bookmarking websites are heavily visited by google robots. So if you do some social bookmarking, thene you can quickly get indexed by google.

Wish you all the luck.......
