4.Update your ping list
Pinging Sites are the best way to index fast in all search engines.
When ever you publish, edit any of your post, WordPress sends ping to all the services which is listed under your ping update service. So this way, ping services get notified about new post and all search engine will quickly index them.By default wordpress we get only 2-3 sites to ping but we can extend them by increasing/adding the number of ping sites manually.
