How long to get ranked in Google

[globallink]

Happy New Year to everyone.

My website comes up in searches with MSN and Yahoo and a few others but nothing with Google. I have recently optimized my pages and am wondering how long it takes for Google to update their index?

Thanks for your help.

thats like asking when will I hit the lotto. Theres no clear answer. I rank well on several key terms in Yahoo and MSN. Im non existent in Google except for recently on a obscure search term. I was number 140. I dont concern myself anymore. One day it will come. Just continue optimizing and gaining good link partners.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll keep working on the topics you mentioned.

Google's cache of your homepage looks exactly like your site, so I'm guessing they have indexed your site since your changes, though I didn't check your other pages.

Also, if you search for "a web designer in Portland" exactly with quotes, you do appear at #13.
However, Portland Web Design returns 15,200,000 results and generally anything with "web design" in will be difficult to rank well for - simply because the competition is huge.

Try to find a more specific niche to focus on and yes, get more quality, relevant links.

Your site's been around for more than a year and G does show 9 pages from your site, so I doubt it's still in the sandbox.

Launched a brand new site on 23rd December. First crawled by Google on 26th December. Now listed in Google - for its company name.

Climbing the serps for competitive terms may take a little longer. Then there's always the sandbox.

dburdon That's interesting. Most of my sites take atleast take 2-3 months atleast to get indexed.

I have a new site which googbot has never touched it.

We've just launched new site on the 8th November http://www.undiscoveredturkey.co.uk and still haven't got a PR ranking!

getting a bit stumped now...

Digitallabz, Joesnow,

there are no secrets in getting crawled. Just links. The site has been submitted to DMOZ. But it won't appear there for several months.

On the Page Rank side, Google hasn't updated for several months. Having no visible PR doesn't get in the way of being crawled, indexed or ranked.
