Blog Post Indexed Within 30 Minutes

I almost coughed coffee out of my nose when I noticed Google had indexed a blog post on my Volvo site in 28 minutes. Maybe less, I wasn’t checking for this specifically.
Why? There is probably a myriad of reasons why Google pays close attention to my site, but the biggest are these:
- MVS has been up for years — it’s trusted as a Volvo authority and thus gets Google attention.
- It has a site map. A site map is a simple text file that sits on the server and is meant for search bots, not humans. It tells search bots what’s where, and what’s new.
- I publish content constantly. The more frequent your posts, the quicker search bots come around to see what’s happening at your site.
