Google Launches On-Demand Indexing

Google has had their Custom Search Engine (CSE) platform rolled out for quite a while now, but there have been some drawbacks for many users. One of those drawbacks was how deep it would crawl your site.

Search All the Official Google Blogs

All you need to do is send traffic there. This is the start of a whole new outreach for Google Co-op users.
