Im just wondering how long google takes before your site starts showing up in search results if your page shows up in the cache.Im assuming there is a lag.Not sure if being in the cache and ranking in the serps are related. I think once your in the cache you should be in the index....almost immediately. But ranking in the serps for a term also requires other criteria.there is usually about a 3 months time for google to index you and for you to show up. First when your site is picked up it gets its initial PR (usually about a 3-4)...then the following month your PR will go up and down according to you links and what you do as far as gathering links....and then the third month you should see some type of ranking in the index.Linking is not the only factor dont forget on page content and more and more theme is becoming more important.optwizard...nice pic...that's really funny!I got to make money somehow? LOLoptwizard wrote:Yes, I wouldn't agree on the length of time it takes to get indexed or even ranked well. It all depends on your site's content, the links it has pointing to it, the business competition it has, and getting that all important DMOZ listing.I think the terms may have a factor as well. You can get a site to rank well for a non-competitive term faster then a term in an industry targeted by the so called "hilltop" thingy....if it even exists2 things1. It does not take 1-3 weeks to get listed in google. I want to see a site that is made and get ranked it 2 weeks. Google does reindex sites that are in google already everyday but new sites still take 2-3 months or even more.2. As far as the hilltop goes here is an article on ithttp://www.cs.toronto.edu/~georgem/hilltop/and from what I am seeing google is moving towards this authority hilltop theory."1.

" ..I have had sites that got into the index in a matter of days....they didn't rank well for about a month but the pages appeared in the index when you did a site:www.domain.comyes that is common...I mean 2-3 months before getting any rankings of any sort...IF you are lucky and spider hits you may bet in earlyGreat article!Thank you I do think and have seen google moving towards thisMe too...especially in the real estate industry.I see it already most of the top sites are authority to google that is why you see them getting away with more then other sites.Its getting into the top sites that is a drag.
