Google Sitemap - Time to Page Indexing

Hello,
I am new to the forum, and have a question regarding google sitemaps.
On March 3rd I submitted a sitemap for giftporto.com to google, and after fixing the initial errors it has been downloaded on a daily basis since then. However, the majority of the pages included in the xml sitemap that was submitted have still not been indexed.
Any I ideas about how long it typically takes for google to index sitemap pages, and does anyone have any ideas about how I can speed up the indexing process.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

 

Crichey, after submitting your xml sitemap on March 3, how long before you receive a feedback from google (e.g. errors).

I have submitted a sitemap for http://www.articles4all.info and I am wondering when should I check if there is something wrong with the sitemap that I submitted.

Thanks

 

I received feedback from google after about 3 days.
Then after that the sitemap was downloaded by google about once a day for the first couple days, now it has slowed to once every couple days.

 

The new google site maps seems to index my pages pretty fast and I do like the service.

Although there is something that doesnt site well with me about giving google so much information....

i didn't get any feed back for 3 days for my site. and google only indexing my old pages. i think i have to wait for several days
i got pr5 and only 3 result indexed

 

they keep updating it depending on how fast you change your content. If your content changes daily they usually grab your sitemap pretty fast, if not, they do it less frequently.

 

They have never indexed all the URL's in the sitemap I submitted.
The best way would be to get back links for your site specially from high PR sites which will get google bots visiting sooner.

How about the errors reported on google sitemaps.
Does anyone know if having any Http errors, or Unreachable URL's will have impact the time to indexing.

 

I've started a site at about the middle of March. Here's the stats for crawlers:

Code (markup):

Sitemaps DOES help though the first week Googlebot just probes the site.

Combine a site index with a few submissions to directories each day, just to stimulate Google and the site will be indexed fast.

 

Hi guys,

To me should resubmit the sitemap in google webmaster tools as it will then crawl a fresh copy of your site links.

 

I also submited big sitemap,but google does not index my website.
Then I created more link exchanage.

My website was indexed 30,000 urls with in 2 months.

 

Sitemap seams to work ok for me. Our website was updated with about 100 new pages. the new sitemap was submitted to google and most of the pages were indexed within a week. however our ranking dropped about 300 places for various keywords. does anyone have any idea why this may be? is it just google dropping my ranking for such a vast change in the website. it previously only had about 25 pages.

 

No I don't think so.. that updating the site by increasing the no. of pages can be the reason for rank drop. May be your targeted keywords priority gets shared by new pages .. means ur new pages would be using few targeted keywords that u have already used for old pages...

 

If its not the added content could it be that i've exchanged links with someone google views as bad?
