Introduction
Ever wonder how you can get new content pages indexed quickly?
In most cases you create the new page, publish it to your Web site, provide some internal linking to the page so your users and the search engine spiders can find it, and wait. It can take as little as a day or two or weeks before it's indexed. If your Web site is spidered frequently, you have a much better chance of getting the page indexed in a few days. For the rest of us, we end up waiting.

The search engine spiders don't know the pages are no longer at that location, so they keep coming back to reindex them. Here's the kicker, replace those missing pages with your new content!
