Fetch As Googlebot Stuck In 'Pending'

[baldidiot]

Sometimes if I want a page indexed quickly I'll use the 'fetch as googlebot' option from within GWT - I just tried this today with a new post and it kept saying 'pending' on loop for ages.

Any idea whats going on? The page should be reachable and I've done nothing different - is it a GWT issue or is there any other reason anyone could think of?

I think Google WMT is having problems this morning.

I can log in but, but no data displays, it just hangs and that little wheel just keeps spinning...

Things seem to be back up now.

Oh awesome, thanks - I thought it might have been something I'd done. Working fine now

loto's problem and the problem you are having aren't related.
I've seen that pending problem a few times in the past. Its a WMT bug or something. You have to close the browser and try again.

Please do not miss "Fetch as Googlebot" with "Send a website to Google". It is only a reaching test. That is all. Don't you think that it wouldn't be fair if you can speed up the indexing of new page(s) ?

The fetch itself doesn't get it indexed, but after using the fetch tool you can submit to the index through WMT - which I've found to be one of the fastest ways to get something indexed, with the exception of a decent incoming link to the page from a site with a high crawl rate.

I see and i know you are right but although we have done this for our several sites sometimes it takes again too long to be indexed. So Google does whenever it wants ! By the way your theme for : http://www.footballbettingsites.org.uk is wonderful in terms of simplicity and clearness. Can yous ay it's name if it is not a problem of course. All the best

It depends on the site - I have some that'll get indexed within 30 minutes of submitting, whilst others will take a few hours. I've done a few tests with multiple articles (submitting, pinging, linking etc..) and it definitely has an effect.

Thanks for the compliment

The shell of the site is a theme, but I can't for the life of me remember what it's called or where I got it from - it's been heavily modified though (butchered).

I have made an indexing attempt after your recommendation and although it has been more than24 hours still waiti to be indexed. Do you reallyt hink that BIG BOSS (Google) really let us manage their bots ?!?

By the way, could anyone tell us what is the testing of a indexed page ?

Thanks a lot

I've had it stuck in the pending state before with IE. I just switch to FF and its fine.

I would say a fast way to get a page indexed is to add it to your sig and makes some posts.

I have found it quick for crawling and indexing, but actual ranking still takes a little while. if that makes sense

I have made an indexing request nearly 1 week ago thorugh Webmasters Tool but still not indexed... And believe me publishing a link on GPWA.org forum is much better for indexing speed...

True, but when you have 50 - 100 new pages a week across a network, posting them all on the forums would take the **** a bit. A decent link will always be the fastest way to do it, but my only point is that I found submitting to be faster than pinging. It still depends on the site though.

Besides, I wasn't really trying to start a debate on the effectiveness of it - just asking if anyone had noticed an issue with the actual tool (which seems to have be fixed).

If you want the post to be get cached quickly this is the way "www.google.com/submityourcontent/website-owner/" go to this url and here click add url, it requires your webmaster login .....Login here and then submit your url you want to get cached fill the captcha and submit,you'll get a message that
"your url has been submitted it will be review shortly" so this is the best method to ping to google and get cached quickly

I do not think there is a real difference between the two fetch or submit). If there is, could some explain what it would be technically?

[abhinavarora]

Fetch is basically u r trying to manually crawl the webpage through webmasters"Fetch As Google bot" this what phrase it says but submit your content means u r inviting Google bot to crawl your website naturally....so that's the basic difference
