master, the first thing we would do in SEO is indexing our website in google.com and other search engines. I never had problem indexing a website but few days ago I found that one of my old site was still not indexed in google.com which was a surprise for me
Being a seo expert it was really a tough situation for me. It was more than one month and I had done the basic requirements to get a site indexed but still the site is not indexed. ? I had never looked at the site since one month and was not aware about it. Site was already indexed in yahoo.com and bing.com I then closely checked what I did and what I missed.

I had never looked at the site since one month and was not aware about it. Site was already indexed in yahoo.com and bing.com I then closely checked what I did and what I missed.
Things I had done:
Search Engine Submission to Google.Com, Yahoo and Bing
Webmaster verification
Sitemap creation and submission
Feed burner setup
RSS Feed Submission
Things I did not do
Social Bookmarking: The site didn’t have many pages neither had good article to submit to social sites. And I really hate spamming the social networking sites by submitting the main domain or a page with useless content. Though many seo experts recommend submitting your site to popular bookmarking site I don’t agree with them. Also request you all that please do not submit your sites to bookmarking sites just to get indexed in search engines or to get backlinks. Only submit if you think the content is valuable/ interesting. Respect the social media sites.
Well, after checking everything I was really surprised to find that site is not indexed yet. I then though may be the problem is with content, because site hadn’t more content and was not updated regularly. But it was not a solid reason. Even a site without content with just default index page of cpanel should get indexed and this was a site with installed wordpress and properly setup with few pages.
Ahh! Again I checked through and found that I hadn’t set-up google analytic.
Set Up Google Analytic
Setting up Google analytic was easy thing in wordpress. Just installed Ultimate GA plug-in and input the analytic code. I found that site was indexed when I checked after 24 hours.
How GA helps to index your website?
After you set up Google analytic the Google bot is forced to visit your website frequently to collect the visitor’s data. GA is only a way to invite Google bot frequently to your very new website. In general cases site is indexed without setting up Google analytic just by doing the basic see which I have mentioned above. However, sometimes you won’t get your site indexed after using those methods. In such case you may worry much and start searching for help. Just set up analytic and see your site indexed in Google.
Note: Please add at least one interesting/valuable article/content in your website before doing anything. So that you can bookmark the content in popular bookmarking sites also which will help you to get indexed even faster.
Indexing within 15 minutes:
You will need a really interesting content and you should be active social media user like in site digg.com, mixx.com
