Shaun 2009-10-30T14:29:40Z 2009-10-30T14:29:40Z <p>In my experience the best way to get indexed quickly is to get links from popular sites. It's not uncommon for at least a homepage to be indexed in a matter of hours or even less with links from an established site. For a full crawl it can sometimes take a few days or longer for much larger sites.</p> http://www.gatejumper.net/questions/18/how-long-does-it-take-for-google-to-index-a-new-site/30#30 Answer by Rob for How long does it take for Google to index a new site? Rob 2009-11-01T23:35:02Z 2009-11-01T23:35:02Z <p>agreed! Only takes a couple hours if the site has the basic meta data and some good links.</p> http://www.gatejumper.net/questions/18/how-long-does-it-take-for-google-to-index-a-new-site/35#35 Answer by Eric H.

But one thing nobody has mentioned yet: Make sure you have <strong>sufficient interesting and unique content.</strong> Even if the Google bot visits your page &ndash; whether because you submitted your URL the usual way, or your sitemap via Webmaster Tools, or because it came across a link to your site elsewhere &ndash; if it finds <em>very little of value</em> at your site it may simply choose to not include you in the index. I've read that Google likes content it hasn't seen before.</p> http://www.gatejumper.net/questions/18/how-long-does-it-take-for-google-to-index-a-new-site/302#302 Answer by Harry for How long does it take for Google to index a new site?
