how long does it take to get indexed by google?

I think they are meaning a brand new site.

A brand new site or blog can take months to be indexed with google sometimes. I know once I started building blogs the first two took like 3 weeks to be indexed, but after that it would only take a week or two because I would link the new blog to the indexed blogs.

Pinging your site helps. Also, if you can PING your backlinks too, even better. If you want, you can just keep adding content like normal, but make sure to ping the site AND the content after each new addition.

I've also had good results by creating a video and posting it to Youtube and putting the link in the description box. Youtube is always being crawled so your link will be crawled soon and your site will be found. Thats the real key to getting indexed is being found. Google can't index you if they don't know about you.

Backlinks help a lot, but not unless google finds them! If you post a backlink on a blog that hasn't been updated in years, it will take a long time for google to find that link (if it ever finds its). That is why pinging your back links helps.

You can also try submitting an article to EZA with two different links to your site (main page and maybe a squeeze page) and this will help get you get indexed also.

Adding your site to your signature in this forum and others will help your site get found also.

Hope some of this helps

It could take as little as a few minutes to a few months...

Understand that Google will prefer to find your site as a result of an inbound link rather than a ping, and you will find getting indexed there much more easy than you are currently experiencing.

Hey Man,
I use the following percentages for my sites but it all comes down to your site and the type of industry or niche you are in. I would need more details to offer you a really thought out opinion but here is how i break them down.

1. Blog and Forum Commenting - This has a double advantage... It provides instant traffic, and it has a lot of SEO Value to it although there is a lot of link attrition (Links falling off due to posts being pushed to deeper pages in the site)

2. Highly Relevant PR 5 or above links - These take longer to build but offer tremendous value when they are relevant. Just a few good ones can pay off tremendously.

3. Article Submission and syndication - Awesome way to get valuble links that are indexed and picked up by other sites. I had one article picked up on over 30 websites...

4. Answer Questions and include your sig - A great way to get great traffic and awesome links is to go on sites like Ask.com and answer questions related to your niche, this one you may have to do on your own but it has worked great for me and it has gotten me a ton of new SEO Clients.

Here are some tips for working with overseas workers as well...

1. Be Very specific - Communication is key to getting what you want from your off-shore workers. Take time to write up a list of kewords you want to get ranked on and provide lots of ad copy. You dont want someone who barely speaks english to provide your ad copy in your blog and forum commenting lol Dont be lasy and leave it to them. Create lots of ad copy as well and make sure youre keywords are numerous as they will create links using the same keywords in the anchor text.

2. Make sure they use anchor text in your link building... Also make sure the keywords they use are ones you have given them

3. Take time when selecting workers - only use people with feedback and who have passed at least some tests. The cheapest person is usually the least experienced

4. You should be paying about $2.22 per hour on average. Anymore is a waste as there are a ton of workers to choose from and anything less you will run into quality issues.

5. Request lots of reports early on - this will help you make sure work is being done according to your specifications. This is very important

6. Set limits - Its easy to get a runaway bill if you dont set hours for each employee, make sure your total budget is set according to the number of people you have and the number of hours you have allocated. Watch your budget closely!

Hope these tips help... I manage over 130 Off-shore employees and this has all been things i have learned in the process. I have paid a lot of stupid tax along the years lol
