How is it possible for new content to appear in Google results mere minutes after it is created?

Question

For example, when I post to Stackoverflow, the post appears in the Google index a minute later. How is this accomplished? What do I have to do to my web-site to get the same frequency of indexing?

Answer 1

You could start by:

• getting 65,000-odd regular users on your site.
• making your site linked to from all over the place.
• make your site very active.
• providing very useful content.

This is all standard SEO stuff which will up your "importance" in the eyes of Google (and other search engines, presumably, but who cares :-).
