On February 26, 2009, Google software engineer Matt Cutts collected questions on Google Moderator and answered many of them on video.
Lee Willis from Cumbria, UK asked:
Why does Google crawl/index blogs (specifically sites notified by "WordPress XMLRPC pings") so much faster than a "normal" site submitting a revised Sitemap. What is the impact of that on the overall "quality" of the index?
Yes, this is true. I have tried it and it worked quite well. The points he said is worth remembering.

This is very much true since blogs are the kind of sites that always produces content regularly, so they have the chance to get crawled instantly since Google likes websites with fresh content. But Google wouldn't index your post if it thinks that its not relevant to people's searches. They have to look at first the domain trust, page trust, and if they think that you have a good backlink profile.

Crawl rates seem to be largely based on PR.

Custom written blogs are supposed to give you a higher rank with the search engines by using important keywords needed for your business. Be sure the custom blog writer knows which keywords are best for your blog that will work best for the search engines. An inexperienced writer may provide keywords that bring your site up in results irrelevant to the products and services you offer.

I hear what you are saying that its the Google Blog Search that might be crawling the site but that doesn't reflect my experience. I've got a new site with a blog section. I'm finding that my blog postings are showing in the index 1-2 days after posting yet my site hasn't shown up in the index after 2 weeks despite submitting a sitemap and being crawled twice.

Why does Google index spam sites that steal content from my legit blog, and then not index my blog? Did I kick Matt Cutts' baby or something?
