Getting Google to crawl your website was a real challenge. That has now changed.

Here is the real information you want! It is a Google help site that can get your website crawled really fast. How fast? Like RIGHT NOW!

First more information.

It begins with Google SiteMaps. Google has their own sitemap generator. It installs on your website. Although it is a little complicated, you can install it yourself. If you don't want to do it yourself, then have your website tech support do it. Read further if you want other options.

Their preferred sitemap generator is found here. https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/siteoverview?hl=en

also, an XML sitemap generator program is found here. XML means Xtended Markup Language, similar to HTML.

I like to use another source for a site map. It is called an ROR file

ROR means Resource Of a Resource. This is a small XML file that describes your website.

If you go to this web page you can easily generate a ROR file for your website. This is a free service. This is what I have done.

You have to FTP the sitemap ROR.xml file up to your web site.

Once you have your sitemap file on your website you now can go to getting your website crawled.

Go to Google and follow the directions and your website will be verified and 
crawled.
I know that this information is complex and somewhat 
sparse. If you go to Google and study their way of verifying and crawling your 
web site you will easily get it crawled by Google.
