The article pointing to the site has been live for 7 days on EZA, GA, and AB. My site still has not been indexed from Google.

How long should I wait before I start really looking for something wrong?

It is a WP site and yes, I made sure to switch the privacy setting to allow search engines to find it.

This is odd since I have had sites indexed and ranked in 2 days before. Anyone have this happen to them before?

Heck, I even started to get some adsense money off of it from the article click throughs.

    Keep building more links. Write more unique articles and publish them. You can also register the site with the webmaster tools to find out more from Google.

    It may be that google has not crawled the pages where the articles are posted, until that happens you will need to keep building more links. I would submit a google sitemap to help with the process.

    i also think i notice a delay in sites being indexed. I remember a year or two ago..you could simply get indexed within HOURS just by putting your site on digg.

    Now, i have a brand new site and bookmarked and digged already like crazy, i also already submitted articles...but the site is still not indexed after one day.

    Not an issue...but i am sure it takes longer now to get indexed.

      A sitemap will not help google find your sites. Google does
      not need help. Unless of course, your links have no links
      from a main page and a visitor would never find them.
      Hardly ever happens. How is a sitemap going to help
      google find your pages? If a sitemap is the only way to
      find a link, then your site(s) are in serious need of a
      makeover. If your sites are not being indexed by google,
      they have problems. That's the real answer people should
      be telling you. If your site is like all decent sites, and has links off
      the main page, a sitemap is not going to help get anything
      indexed.

      It always boggles my mind why people come up with all sorts of
      voodoo to get a site indexed. Maybe because it's so easy, people
      just don't believe it.

        Not that it matters, but I do have a sitemap. I have plenty of sites indexed, but for some reason this one is taking a while.

        I'm not too worried I was just looking to see if this happens a lot since it has never happened to me.

        I also find it hard to believe that google wouldn't have crawled EZA less than 2 hours after the article went live.

        In many cases simply submitting your site to webmaster tools can get it indexed.

        I've had new sites where every page has been indexed about an hour after I created them. I didn't build any links to the sites, I simply added the site to my webmaster tools account.

        The mistake the OP is making, in my opinion, is that he said he's still waiting for Google to index his site. That's not the right way to think about it.

        Instead of waiting for them to come find it, force them too! Build some links.

    I think you should write different meta tags for all your pages, and build up internal links to connect your pages together. Bookmark your site using popular bookmarking sites like reddit, stumbleupon, digg and so on can also help your site get indexed.

    Build more links. You should be indexed shortly no need to worry.

      It has never taken me more than 5 days to get indexed and the last one for my niche site took 2 days and this is what I did:

      1. Google webmaster-verify site, put sitemap
      2. a few profile links using Angela's backlinks
      3. social bookmarks-only Mixx, propeller
      4. Forum signature-digital point
      5. RSS-feedage, feedest and few others
      6. domain search urls

      Hope it helps.

        first add your website into google webmaster tool and for new site google will take some time to crawl but after that it will crawl your website for a particular time and make some high PR link

    Thanks for all the advise. I should have been more patient since it is now indexed.

    Wouldn't you just know, as soon as I put up this thread it gets indexed. LOL
