Google provides a set of webmaster tools, free, to push new blog posts into the Google search engine as quickly as possible. The concept is simple - instead of waiting for Google to find you, you give Google the information the second it is published.

Search is vital to the health of any business, and though blogs are great SEO magnets, it is a highly competitive landscape. Google’s Webmaster tools give you easy ways to ensure your website has no errors - that Google can crawl it well - that your content is pushed out, and even view reports on your site’s performance.

Although you get these great benefits behind the scenes, you get the added value of statistics about your blog as well. From top queries, how your site is indexed, and an opportunity to submit your sitemap if your site is new. Stats packages like this used to be expensive and cumbersome - this is free and easy.
