1 hour from the Google SERP?

I just made a little post on the al-gore-rithm. After realizing I wasn’t the first to come up with that pun I wanted to do a google search to see how unoriginal I really was. And the I saw my own post right there in the SERP – a mere hour after I posted the thing.

This is about the fastest I’ve seen anything go into the SERP – and one must wonder what injection needle this blog has to Google’s servers? I use Google Sitemaps (with this plugin)and have also submitted this blog to my own Google Reader. Are these fast tracks to the SERP?

Update:

Matt Cutts has already described this: Minty Fresh Indexing – where index entry times are reported as low as 18 minutes :-)

Update 2:

Rosenstand reports in the comments on ‘Time to Index’ as low as 3 minutes. And I’ve now documented a recent post with a TTI of 6 minutes :-)

    Yeah – they are fast these days, but actually it’s old news and 1 hour is kinda slow…

    Both deMib and your humble me has reported crawling, indexing and ranking as fast as below 5 minutes!

    Old news – but definately great news though ;-)

    Hej Thomas, jeg mÃ¥ jo bare op pÃ¥ hesten igen og sidde klar med stopuret…

    SEO perspektivet er jo utroligt interessant, men er et sitemaps eller Googles blogsearch, der står for den inkrementale indeksering?

  3. Thomas Rosenstand

    Jeg ved det ikke – men jeg tvivler stærkt pÃ¥, det er sitemaps… Og resultaterne synes at være genereret i Googles normale search og ikke specifikt fra blogsearch, news eller andet.

    Gjorde det lige igen forleden: Denne var synlig i SERP 3(!) minutter efter publiceringen.

    P.S. Din Captcha virker ikke – viser bare det berømte røde kryds…

    …øv :-( Men det er da godt at nogen siger det – sÃ¥ mÃ¥ jeg jo fÃ¥ det fikset. Jeg begynder med at slÃ¥ spam-karma fra. Det har været lidt ballade med captcha’en andre steder…
