SEO and Pinging
Search engine optimization (SEO) refers to the work done to increase the visibility of your website. SEO work can be carried out for all search engines, especially Google. On the other hand, since the overwhelming majority of users in Turkey use Google, SEO work is generally done for Google.
If you get a better ranking, that is, a position, in search engines, you can increase the number of visitors. This is especially vital for e-commerce sites. More traffic means more sales.
One of the most important issues in SEO work is indexing. Google bots crawl your website and index your content, allowing you to appear in the search engine. However, indexing depends on certain criteria. It is unlikely that indexing will occur as soon as you upload or update content. In this sense, how long it will take for Google bots to arrive or what content they will update depends on some of the work you will do.
What is SEO? Why is it important?
SEO is the whole of the work done to rank your website higher in the search engine. The main purpose of this work is to attract more visitors to your website. Thanks to SEO work, you can quickly increase the performance of your website and thus reach more visitors.
Websites that rank higher in search engines receive many more clicks. For this reason, websites should identify the keywords that their target audience types into the search engine and aim to rank high for these keywords. In these studies, the number of qualified users should be specifically targeted. The basis of SEO work is to gain more qualified users from more users.
By doing SEO work, you can ensure that more qualified users visit your website. In this way, you can also increase your awareness. Many different studies are being carried out for this purpose. One of these studies increases the indexing speed. Having a page or content indexed faster means you can reach more users in a shorter time. This is especially true for the pages you update. By calling Google bots to your updated pages, you can indicate that the content has changed and you want to reorder.
What is Indexing?
Indexing is the name given to the process of processing and indexing websites crawled by the search engine. Search engine bots analyze the content of every crawled website and try to make sense of it. During the analysis phase, bots classify the content, structure of the site, keywords, images, in short, all elements on your website. After the analysis, all the information obtained is indexed and made available to users.
Pages that are not indexed by search engine bots cannot enter the search engine's database. This means they won't be able to get organic traffic. For this reason, when doing SEO work, it is very important to index the pages you plan to get organic traffic from.

Harms of Google Pinging
