how long does google take to index?

cynbahamas · #1 01-26-2009, 11:07 PM

I submitted my sitemap to google a week ago and it is still not indexed. People told me to be patient, but I am just looking for a general answer: am I looking at like a week or 2 months for google to do this? How long does it generally take?

I'd appreciate an answer!

I haven't got a clue. I have built a few sites. Sometimes it's taken a week and sometimes much longer. I don't worry about as I know it will be picked up. I've even tried submitting the url but for me it doesn't make it any quicker. I don't bother now.

It will happen!

There is no general answer to this one.............Google does what google wants.
But the more backlinks to your site, the better.

I am not trying to push the Showcase, but the last time that I looked, several of the sites that joined the list were listed on google within a matter of days.
Try to get as many backlinks as you can(especially from established sites)but you will have to be patient........

I've had it happen within a few hours, to a few weeks. I think it mostly depends on backlinks.

Sorry karen we are not all as good as u and your 5 stars u make it un comfortable to post about anything sometimes. I was always told that there is no such thing as a stupid question, but there are plenty of bad answers.

You're right, there is no such thing as a stupid question and hopefully you look for a brilliant answer, that's real nice...

I think google changes up monthly, or so it seems to me .... just my opinion ....
