It’s a nightmare for new bloggers and YouTube content creators to crawl their latest posts instantly as google takes usually several days for a successful request to be granted. So, how to submit your blog post to search engines like Google?

When you publish a new blog post or a YouTube video in general, there are many factors that determine how quickly it will be indexed or discovered by Googlebot. To increase the discoverability of your new blogs, you can use simple SEO practices like

• Creating a Sitemap and then submit the Sitemap to Google Webmaster Tools.
• Submit your blog post URL to Google Webmaster Tools
• Authenticate Google Analytics to your WordPress blog and create filters that measure the analytics of your blog in much detailed manner.
• Create or Update your blogs or products Social Profiles and embed on landing pages, blog footer, headers.
• Create Off-site Content for SEO to increase your backlinks.

But, without making your blog visible on google search, one cannot implement above methods. Also, if you submit your blog or a YouTube video through FETCH method in Google Webmaster Tools, it will take at least 6 or 7 days for GoogleBot to crawl and index your new blog post.

This is where submitting your blog post to blog directories will help you the most.

Using Blog directories, your blog will be exposed to a completely new audience, you will get highly targeted traffic, and your blog will be generating a good number of backlinks for your blog.

Example –

• Create a new blog post –> Copy the URL à paste and search on Google.
• You will notice that Google is not indexing your new WordPress blog post.

As your blog title is unique along with its URL, your blog should be discoverable when you search your URL or Blog title. Usually, this process will take several days to process.

Blog Directories
