Monetize Your Blog has made it onto Google

Well, it’s official. Monetize Your Blog has appeared in the Google index. I searched google today with site:monetizetheblog.blogspot.com and it was found. That is great. The blog is only one week old and it has already made it into at least one search engine.
However I was curious as to how google found out about the blog. So I searched for sites that link to this blog (ie. link:monetize-your-blog.blogspot.com) and didn’t find any matches. So I figure that the blog wasn’t found through a link from another site. I did submit my url to google but that was just a few days ago and it told me I probably wouldn’t be indexed for a while. Maybe I just got lucky. The other possibility is that blogger somehow notified google of my existance.
I than went over to have a look at the Google Webmaster Tools to find out more. I found out that a googlebot visited my site on 22 November 2006. Also, there were 2 pages from the blog in Google’s index. They suggested I upload a sitemap so they know more about my site. I will look into that and write about it at some point.
Not to become complacent I searched google for “monetize your blog” wondering where my blog ranked. The bad news is that google returned over 1,000,000 hits. I paged through the first 100, but my blog was nowhere to be found. I guess the next step will be to try and improve my ranking.
I will go and check some of the other search engines now to see if they know about me yet.
