    i have the following problem:

    Recently i changed URL names of a site.

    Google spidered my site just a few days ago, but what google shows in webmaster tools

    site:www.reconditioned-power-tools.com

    is still the OLD URLS - those which dont even exist anymore !

    My question is when (and how) does google sync its entries so the pages in its database are the ACTUAL ones of my site again ?



    (I also have a sitemap up....say..EXAMPLE i have hundreds of pages/url containing the new name "usedtools", which are in the sitemap....but all the google entries still show what i had a month before, say "outlettools".
    (I am NOT talking about clicking on actual "cached"..... !)

    Kind of puzzled.

    When did you change url? Google takes few weeks to chage them.

    Google webmaster tools will catch on at some point. It's always slower then the serps.

    Normally it's takes around 1 month for google to detect and index the changes.

    did you do a 301 redirect to the new url?
