I wanted to try an experiment to see just how fast Google can index a new Word press blog. I choose the phrase 'Sexy SEO for Recruiters' as Google was not returning any direct results for this phrase and so I could see immediately if my new page was being indexed. I created a new post on my blog page and within a few seconds Google had found the post.

This has big implications for recruiters posting vacancies onto web sites as generally you will want Google to index your own web site rather than helping a Job Board with their SEO. Google rewards new content so it important that Google sees your site as the source of original content and any job boards are simply a copy of your site.

My conclusions

!. Always rewrite your own advertising copy, don't cut and paste as Google is likely not to recognize this as new content.

2. Always post first to your own web site. Google will see your site as important as that is where content appears first and any subsequent post to a job board will be seen as a copy of this.

3. Ensure your web site is working effectively to be indexed by Google. Try this experiment and see how fast your new pages are being indexed
