Submit Your Tip

I just started blogging on my own wordpress website but my articles are not showing up in google when I search for them. I know search engines have to index posts but it has been 3 days and none of my articles are in google as yet. Is there like a proper procedure to get a new website indexed or do I just wait?

If possible, you can ask a friend or someone you know who has a site which is indexed very fast to give a link to your site. This way, when the bot comes to their site, it will automatically come crawling to you too.
