Automatically Determining when Google Indexes Your Site

I found a pretty cool tool in DigitalPoint Forums yesterday, and the concept is very interesting. Instead of typing "site:domain.com" obsessive compulsively in a Google Search box to find out if your site is being indexed, why not get notified to eliminate the need to check every time?

Now you can, according to DigitalPoint Forums member Sebastin. He outlines the following steps:

  1. Download the MrUptime Firefox Extension.
  2. Do a search on Google for your site as such: http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Awww.yoursite.com
  3. Add that search to MrUptime and check off a few parameters.
  4. Click "Add Watch.

That's all there is to it. Once it's there, you'll be notified. :)
