Quick SEO Tips: Find out when Google first indexed your site
If you thought that Google found your website around the dates that you launched it, there is a good chance that you wrong. Google finds a page/website through links, and that’s when they’ll set your “birth date” as. So if you were checking your competitors domain name age, ouch…time to recheck!
How to find out your birthdate on Google?
Try this search (with your domain of course) and find out when Google indexed you. You can see it on the left hand side of the search.
Now try the same with your competition or competing keywords. Do you see a pattern?
Yes, the top ranking ones were found first.
So, who said Google is dumb and can’t fix duplicate content.
Hi Mani,
When I do a search for my domain using
http://www.mydomain.com, I don’t see anything on the left side of search. Please help.
As per your logic mentioned, the results of my blog shows Aug 7th 2007, but I had articles indexed even before that. Can you explain a bit more on this?
@Nirmal
Try this code.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=%22nikmuse.blogspot.com%22&as_qdr=m150&btnG=Search
m refers to the number of months.Change it to suit your need.Mani’s code was only for the past one year.
-Nikhil
Try this one – http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=%22nirmaltv.com%22&as_qdr=m150
Is there any use for this information? Can we use this date for anything?
@Niyaz – I use it to find out how good my competition is. You can also use it to find out your crawl rate v\s indexing ratio.
Hi
I browsed through the URL i gave me :
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=www.dailyseoblog.com&as_qdr=y&btnG=Search
And i am able to see the time as in a dropdown. How to do that and how to display the time browsed in the search list.
Very much appreciated if you could help me on this. because i am spending a lot of time on my site(http://infovidhyalaya.blogspot.com/) to get that in the google search index).

Surendran, your site is not yet indexed on Google. You should try all that you can to get indexed on Google.
uuuh nice!
Great tip. I’ve been posting almost everyday and wondering why my recent posts haven’t been indexed by Google yet?
Great Tip! I always used to open the cached copy of Google and then see the date on which the site was cached on the top. This will save my time. Thanks
Ahh, very clever.
How are you certain that “the top ranking ones were found first”?
UGuX, Top ranking ones, are the most important ones from the site. It’s very evident. To test it, try it on a new blog where there are two posts, link from another blog to one and leave the other post without any linking. You’ll see the linked post on top.
Hi Mani
Can you help me out to get index in google search results. But i am able to see the results when i give “Infovidhyalaya”.

Surendran
Surendran, your blog is already indexed, it was found by Google 8 hours ago and so far 32 pages have been indexed. So keep blogging. All the best.
Thanks Mani.
what is the keyword you have given to get into the search results. Did you used “infovidhyalaya”
@ Mani, Nice Post. @ Surendran Search with ” infovidhyalaya “.
hi Great tip but when i search http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=www.localsadda.com&as_qdr=y&btnG=Search like this it shows the only the results for this day? How can i see the entire results?
I have posted my site in a forum with w link back to my site; lankareader.com.If I search google lankareader.com the above mentioned forum comes as a reault. That means the forum site has been indexed after my entry and my site is still not indexed even if that indexed site has a text link back to my site.Do I have a point here?
Nice post on – Google Indexing
I’m trying to work out when someone first uploaded some information to the internet in the form of PDFs. I know this person first registered his domain In August of this year and most of the dates returned using this query verify that but there are 2 entires for PDFs on his site that both say 01 Feb 2001.
If the Domain didn’t exist before Augyst of this year how can those 2 entires show those dates?
