Indexed by Google?
I have been asked by quite a few people how they can know when they are being indexed by Google. Here’s the easiest two ways:
1) Install the Google toolbar and go to your page. Click on the “i” on the Google toolbar and select “Cached Snapshot of Page” on the drop-down menu. You will see the cached page and the date of the cache. Note that you will need to put “www” if you were indexed with the prefix (some sites are and some aren’t).
2) Look in your log files (or use your site statistics software) to identify visitors to your site. You should see googlebots, msnbots, etc. for all the engines that are keeping an eye on you. This will not tell you exactly when you are added to their index, but you will know that you will be soon. I have noticed that all the popular engines hit my site just after midnight.
