Time taken for Google to index new pages to an existing site

    On my photography web site ( http://www.digitalphotoconcept.com ) it is taking an average of 7 days plus for new pages to appear in Google's Index - based on the time that I uploaded a new sitemap.xml file and resubmitted that file on Google webmaster's tools.

    Is that how long it takes for you? If not, is there anyway to speed up the process - given the stature of this site.

    Regards,

    Seems to be a reasonable time to me, although it depends on the authority of your domain and how often the site is crawled. building links into the new pages may help speed up indexing

    Hello...

    7 days isnt bad for new pages but i would experiment a little and try social media sites like twitter or myspace
    and would also do a few good article directories... It varies on my sites sometimes minutes other time days.. :)

    Just gathering a few links to that page on a strong site should get it indexed quicker as well as give you a backlink to that page

    thx

    i would suggest you to submit to social media sites like digg, delicious, etc once you get new content.
    the indexing speed is depending on which sites and it's various IMO, you see the big blog like techcrunch you can even search the new post for a few hours.

    This seems about right, it really depends on how often you update your website.

    I have 1 PR0 blog that gets crawled at a faster rate than one of my PR3 blog. The PR3 blog gets crawled at an average of 3 days and the PR0 gets crawled at an incredible rate that my new posts get indexed within 12hrs every time and the fastest was in two hours. I use the same SEO methods when I create blogs, I have no idea why that particular blog gets crawled so fast. With that said, consider spending some time on deep page linking.

    We have noted the exact same, we run multiple sites and all done using the same methods however some update within a day whilst others take several weeks. Some of the sites that update very quickly are static sites too which only change small bits of text on a monthly basis. On a whole I would say the busier the site the quicker it updates but there do seem to be other factors at play.

    There isn't any pre-determined time for this. It can range from minutes to weeks.

    One of our sites had, at times, articles getting indexed in a couple of minutes and at times taking days altogether.
