So how long is Google taking to index pages these days?

Been out of the SEO game for a while. I have now built out a big, database-driven site with tens of thousands of pages, with 5-10,000 more added every day. As soon as I fed Google my sitemap it went crazy on my site (had to limit the crawl rate), and it's been crawling hundreds to thousands of pages every day, so I figure it's found something tasty to munch on, but it's been days of this and not a single page actually in Google's index yet. Any experience of how Google behaves with this kind of site and how long it takes for pages to pop up in the index?

It takes its own time. No matter how much big number of urls you submit or get crawled still Google will take its own time to index and rank them. It may occur overnight in some cases and in some cases it make take weeks.

. Ah well, Google moves in mysterious ways, nothing has changed there.

By the way, it's insane just how far ahead of the game Google is as compared to other search engines. It takes Bing days just to lazily download a few sitemaps, never mind crawl anything...

If you get some quality links to your pages. Then it will get indexed and ranked faster.

  4 days later site was indexed.
  
  Go figure up.

  Quality content I think is an extremely subject category. I don't think "quality" is necessarily a factor when Google is initially indexing a site.

5-10,000 more added every day

Clearly no human is adding 10k pages a day - and google knows that.

Google may or may not recognize 'quality' - but often will resist what might appear to be 'manipulation'. Just a guess on my part.

Thanks

Yes, I am quite mindful of that. On the other hand, not all "quality" content is human-created, and not all mass-produced content is manipulative. How Google decides what is what - well, if we knew that we'd be billionaires

Try to add you new URL to a famous website (as a signature for example) and in a few hours you should be able to have you website listed.
Using google webmaster tools can also helps.

Within two weeks your site should be found if you go to Google and search for site:yourURL.com

It won't be ranking highly, but you should be able to see your pages there. If not, check in Search Console how many pages you have indexed.

We don't know about the crawler time. Just wait for crawler and be patient. As crawler scans all websites , it takes time.

Interesting, around 2 weeks now and nothing indexed, crawl rate slowed down a lot as well. I am quite ready for the possibility that Google won't index thousands of pages of my new site, but it must be crawling them for SOME reason, I would expect from experience for at least some pages to be indexed. At the moment it's just the homepage and a couple of sitemaps (yes, two actual sitemaps are in the index, looks buggy, nothing wrong with the site though, Google is using the sitemaps to navigate). I will report back if anything interesting happens.

EDIT: Oh, so Google DOES index sitemap files apparently: https://www.seroundtable.com/archives/018761.html
