I just created a new Google Alert for “warnercarter” (me) and within a few minutes a new alert for that request was in my email. One listing was for a twitter post done yesterday and 2 more were about a few months old.
So the question arises, did Google go find something just because I started a new alert? It seems so. Does this mean if I just made a new web site or page and if I then made a alert for it would it get indexed faster? I don’t have a new website handy this minute but just to see what happens, as soon as I post this I am going to create an alert for the title.
It took Google about 30 minutes to send me a Google Alert I made for the title of this post
Some time ago someone (sorry I don’t recall who) said they had seen Google indexing obscure long tail phrases after they searched them and initially found nothing.
Will appreciate your observations.
