[resolved] [Plugin: Google XML Sitemaps] When will a new post be indexed by google? (6 posts)

    How to make google index a new post as soon as possible?

    The change frequency for posts in sitemap.xml is monthly. Does this mean the post pages will be indexed only once a month? This is okay for old posts, but very terrible for new post.

    Is there a way to let google know we are posting a new post?

    In the XML Sitemap settings, a "Monthly" setting for "Posts" just means, "The content of each individual post may be changed on a monthly basis." Just make sure that "Homepage" is set to "Daily" and you should be fine.

    Basically, Google chooses when and where it wants to index and there's nothing you can do about it. There is apparently a strategy to what it does, but that's a company secret. All you really can do is try your best (and that plugin is about the best you can do) and just sit back and wait for the Google bot to stop by.

    When ever user post a page or articles, then the google sitemap generator plugin works.

    I am using this plugin on my wp blog and its working fine.
    I am also using google sitemap for images and video also.
