If you have some king of software project it could be a good idea to setup a project at Google Code since it looks like the code projects get indexed sooner then other pages . I read about this in the McAfee blog where spammers abuse this feature since the pages get instantly indexed in Google, but you don't have to be a spammer to take advantage of this nice feature.

Just create a simple code project and upload your code.

1. Visit http://code.google.com/hosting/ and click on "Sign in to create a project". This requires that you have a Google account (but who doesn't have that ).
2. Fill in a short description of your project, the project name (must be all lower case ) and select a few tags:
   
3. Click on the download tab and upload your code.
4. Now your code project is setup

You can also setup your own wiki for your code project using the standard wiki syntax where you can answer the most common questions about your code project. Another cool feature of Google Code is that you can setup more administrators if you need and also setup project members if needed. You need to know that administrators can change anything so only add people you really trust!

One other feature is that you can add your Google Analytic tracker on all pages within your project so you get 100% info on your visitors and how they find your code.

Check out the code project I created at http://code.google.com/p/xavierkeno/.
