Google Caffeine – Wow!

Posted by admin on August 6, 2010; This entry is filed under Uncategorized.

Google Caffeine has been live for some time now. Google made a big thing of their new index saying it would provide 50% fresher results, and also that it would index the internet in a more efficient way, and at a much faster rate.

They weren’t joking! I tried a little experiment this morning to see how quickly they index content with Google Caffeine.

I added a new post to ds32.com at 9.45am this morning (6th August 2010) about the iphone and turning off predictive text.
I updated my sitemap using xml-sitemaps.com, uploaded the sitemap and notified Google at 9.47am.

I done two searches on Google at 9.59am:

turning off predictive text on the iphone site:ds32.com
and
turning off predictive text on the iphone

And my page was already indexed! with out the site-search suffix, my post comes up about number 16 in Googles SERPs – thats understandable.

The point is, it took Google 12 minutes to add my page to its search index, thats really impressive!!

Think I will wait and see how long it takes for this post to be indexed WITHOUT re-submitting a sitemap.

This page is going live at 10.07am…Watch this space for an update…

Update

10.18am Google has indexed this page! However, just realised that WordPress automatically “pings” the post via pingomatic, so its the same as re-submitting the sitemap I guess… Still impressive though!
