This may be a stupid question that is not even answerable. But I'm pretty excited, google has crawled about 2700 pages for me! FINALLY! After nothing (avg 2 pages per day for about 6 months) now 2700 in two days, so I'm just wondering when that'll hit the index, and if this could mean I am coming out of the alleged sandbox? Anyone else see anything like this? How did you come out of the sandbox, I am no where in the rank, so I'm hoping it'll just pop up one day. =) thanks!
Page put online to SERP results - amazingly, once, 24 hours. Typically, 6-7 days. Seldom longer than 10 days. Never longer than 2 weeks. Just some recent data for me, anyway. I think that when you happen to enter "their cycle" (A time) is the biggest factor. Crawl frequency is typically determined by site/page historical update frequency. Online <--(A time)--> Crawl <--(2 days)--> Searchable This is for older sites with no sand box. When the sand box is in the picture, I don't think that it is possible to predict indexing time at this point. There is just too much going on. There are so many data points, that it is hard to draw conclusions, or even produce a vague "rule-of-thumb". Note that there are STILL flat-earthers out there who insist there is/was no sandbox effect!
I just started a new site (see signature) and got indexed by all search engines within 3-5 days. See the blog on my site for more details.
