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.

No index for http version of website
Hi, I've had a message from Google search console to say the sitemap for the http version of my site is tagged as no index. As the https version is indexed, do I need to change the http version to be indexed as well? Do I need to keep the http version of the site in search console alongside the https version, or should I remove it? Advice appreciated!

Issues with Product Pages Getting Index In Google
I just started working here the other week and one of the big issue is that a lot of the product pages are not getting index in google. We have an xml.gz site map they submitted a long time ago. My guess is it might be something with not enough content on the pages? Here are a few example of pages that are not getting index in google. http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/43/-/439/716/-/33097/Alpinestars-Dual-Motorcycle-Gloves http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/47/-/201/803/-/28948/Camelbak-Blowfish-2013 http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/46/-/203/836/-/6996/MSR-Head-Case http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/44/54/208/764/80/1220/Galfer-Brake-Pad-Sintered-Metal There are 100's that are not indexed just trying to figure out what we need to do! We are working on new content to them all but we have over 5000 products so it will take a long time. We also have the reviews on the pages and are looking at starting a Q&A on page to help get more unique content.

Are a lot auf tag-sites in the index a bad signal for low quality? (Panda Update)
Hello everybody, first of all please excuse my bad english. I'm from Germany - I try my best. 😉 The case: I have a Wordpress SEO project which rankings very well. A this moment I have all "archive sites" like "archive", "category" und "tags" indexed. I use the more-Tag for every archive/category/tag site - so duplicate content ist not really a problem, but in view of the Panda Update, which surely arrives in Germany soon, I wonder if all this Tag/Archive/Category Sites in the index maybe seen as low quality und can hurt the ranking of my whole site. Low quality because: With using the more-tag the site are just a list of internal links with content snippets. I have 500 articles und 700 Tag Site (all in the index). So my fear is when google (with Panda Update) looks at my site und sees all this (maybe) low quality tag-sites in the index I get penalised because there is not a good proportion between my normal (good quality) Articles und the archive/tag sites. I hope you guys can understand my thoughts. Do I have a legitimate fear that the mass of tag-site in the index could be problem? Are there any data from the USA, how blogs mit Tag-Site in the Index rank after the Panda Update or if sites which contains of internal Links mit content snippets - like these tag site - are low quality in Google eyes? Or I'm worring to much? Thank you very much! Oliver
