Time taken for inclusion in index
-
After a page is crawled, how much time does it take to be included in Google's index ? Immediately ? after few days ?
-
I recall seeing a question you asked about Google + a day or so ago, but I did not know the answer to it. Sorry.
I would suggest you at least provide a link to the question otherwise no one will find it.

Thanks again for a very detailed clarification. I wish someone answers my question about Google plus button too.

There is not any published standard on how frequently Google will discover new content on your site. There are too many factors ranging from your DA (which is not actually a Google metric), how deep the page is in your site, how well linked the page is both internally and externally, etc.
It could be that Google was planning to visit your site, you post an article, and they find it right away. It could also happen then Google just left your site, you post an article and they may not find it for a week or more.
The normal rules of SEO apply. If your article is important then either add a snippet to your landing page or at least link directly to it from your landing page. Work immediately to earn links to the article, tweet it, etc. Send Google an updated sitemap with a link to the article. All of these activities can indicate to Google your content is important and should be indexed.

I missed the last point. That's what i would like to know. I mean for a normal website, there must be some time delay in crawling and indexing. Not every site has a DA of 87 !

I find it strange that one of my question about Google plus button is unanswered. I hope someone answers it.

Thanks Ryan for your quick response.

When Google crawls a page it is immediately added to the index, assuming they decide to index the page.
Want proof? When I look at this Q&A I see "Posted by Atul Sharma about 1 hour ago". When I search Google for this Q&A title I find this result.
Keep in mind SEOmoz has a DA of 87 which is why Google crawls this site so frequently.

Indexing Issues
One of the main pages on my site, http://www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/condos, I have been having a hard time getting google to index it correctly or at all. It is one of the top pages on my site and should be in my sub links in google, but it is not even showing up in searches. Any input would be appreciated. The only red flap issue is the number of outgoing links, but that is the way the page is supposed to be. I would assume most real estate listing pages are very similar. Ultimately when you look at traffic, time on page, inbound links, etc. it is one of the top pages on my site in all those categories. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Can lazy loading of images affect indexing?
I am trying to diagnose a massive drop in Google rankings for my website and noticed that the date of the ranking and traffic drop coincides with Google suddenly only indexing about 10% of my images, whereas previously it was indexing about 95% of them. Wondering if addition of lazy load script to images (so they don't load from the server until visible in the browser) could cause this index blocking?

Page Not Indexed
Hi Guys I wrote and published an article last night on my site but it is yet to be indexed. This is strange as articles are usually indexed pretty quickly. Could you have a quick look and see what the problem is? http://www.rankmytri.com/tomtom-running-and-triathlon-watch/ Also all my Blog posts (in the blog section of the site) are not indexed as well (and I dont think they have been for a while) yet I dont have any messages from Google in my webmaster tools. Thoughts? Thanks in advance Ross

When to not index
We are working on a brand new site http://www.shedfinders.com/ The site has some login sections i.e. agent profiles for property agents etc, register etc. I figured what is the harm to submit all of these in sitemap and use Yoast to ensure on page is as good as it can be. If a user stumbles across any then they would be redirected back to a a register/login page. Not sure what is best practice? Laura
