New Methods for Submitting Sites URL into Google
Google was launched new methods for site owners to asking Google for crawling or indexing specific web pages. There are new tools as a new methods for submitting sites URL in Google Webmaster, The Fetch as Googlebot and Crawl URL form. What’s the advantages and how to use it?
Although Google doesn’t guarantee that they’ll index every page that they crawl, this new feature may help you in several situations. For example, if you’ve just launched a new site, or added some key new pages, you can ask Googlebot to find and crawl them immediately rather than waiting for us to discover them naturally. How they will discover us naturally?
Google learns and discover about URLs and then adds those to crawl scheduling system. It dedups the list and then rearranges the list of URLs in priority order and crawls in that order. The priority is based on all kinds of factors, including the overall value of the page, based in part on PageRank, as well as how often the content changes and how important it is for Google to index that new content (a news home page would fall into this category, for instance). Once a page is crawled, Google then goes through another algorithmic process to determine whether to store the page in their index.
How to Use New Methods for Submitting Sites URL into Google
Note, “Fetch as Googlebot” feature is limited. We can submit up to 50 submissions a week when submitting individual URLs, and 10 submissions a week when submitting URLs with all linked pages. I have used two times for my blogs (submitting individual URLs), and it’s mean it still remaining 48 times. You can see how many submissions you have left on the Fetch as Googlebot page.
You will see “Diagnostics” >> “Fetch as Googlebot” in the left on your dashboard and then click it. If the URL is successfully fetched you’ll see a new “Submit to index” link appear next to the fetched URL.
Once you click “Submit to index” you’ll see a dialog box that allows you to choose whether you want to submit only the one URL, or that URL and all its linked pages.
But how if our submissions have reached the limits? Can i submit another URLs? Yes. As you know, Google has always had an “Add URL” form. It’s now change to the “Crawl URL” form, and while you can add any URL with same quota limits for submitting pages to the index as the Fetch as Googlebot feature but not just those on a site you’ve verified.
Once again, the new features are looking good for site owners who have got a URL whose crawling or indexing you want to speed up. Although Google said that this request doesn’t ensure the URL will in fact end up in the index, but the page is much farther along in the process.
