Difference between crawled and indexed

Here's a short video from Matt Cutts, head of Google's spam team about why blog posts tend to show up so quickly.

We tend to talk a lot here about google alerts some people even have them sent instantly. The video points out that often once a post is made google blog search comes and crawls the site. This does not guarantee that the site will be indexed. Matt also said, like he always says, create good content and become "well known" google is going to notice your site.

I found this information helpful because I had noticed that my posts in my new real estate blog were getting listed into google very quickly but were not ranking for keywords. This is likely the reason why.  Give the blog more time to build authority and it will be crawled more often.
