My first Ezine Article has been live for about a week and when I search for the title in quotations on Google the only result returned is the page with the list of articles in that category. My article isn't even on this page anymore. When should I expect to see the direct link to my article on Google? Google loves EzineArticles right? Thanks.
There is no time frame how long a page will be indexed by google. BTW, what's the PR for the page your article existed?
I've written 144 ezine articles. I've found that it normally takes 5-10 days for Google to index them. However, not all get indexed. I'd estimate that approximately 80% of them do. Know this, though; don't count on one ezine article doing any wonders for you. You need to write dozens or even hundreds of articles to make an impact. Any one article alone won't do much for you.
