Commercialized, or not, that is the question... Anyway, I was wondering if any of the pros so recently back from the beach, or one who is still there, knew what the turn around time was for scooter, from submit to spider to index? I got visited yesterday, and I've been all over the site trying to find my pages, but they haven't gotten in. Would anyone care to help an amatuer? Thanks.

The time it takes to actually show up in the index though varies. Lately It's been anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks. The spider that visits for page submissions is not the one that follows links, that one may or may not come later.
