That's an interesting half-truth, unfortunately being in the index has nothing to do with ranking for the proper search terms at Google. Right there that tells you something.
You yourself (or anyone) can get into the index within 7 days with a link from a page that's in the index and gets crawled. Of course anyone can come up for their chosen search terms in less than that - it's called AdWords. ;)

With some of the other discussion here, if you read along you can't help but succeed. Re the difference between Google & Yahoo, my personal mantra has always been "optimize pages for Inktomi (now Yahoo) and sites for Google." Links count for both, with PR added to the equation for Google and on-page factors having particular weight with Yahoo, as was so with Inktomi.
You've landed at just the right site, just jump in and start reading and you'll see in no time.
However, backlinks and PR aren't yet showing, a month later.
For "money keyword phrases" or for the domain name?
I can see for the domain name, but unless you are doing some "contortions" your site will not be showing for competitive phrases within 32 hours.
My experience with several domains does not match yours, or with that of everyone I compare notes with.
g1smd, you may need to clarify for what you are ranking, because your statement may not be communicating exactly what is going on.
What may happen is that after a few days your site will rank for a day or two then disappear for about three months before finding something like its true position in the SERPS. AFAIK there is no way of shortening this period apart from paying for Adwords.
Two backlinks showed in Google listings nearly 2 weeks later, and many of the rest will hopefully turn up in the next week or so.
However, with a new page on a pre-existing authoritative domain, you can get listed and rank well extremely quickly.
Not in my experience. If Google is sandboxing links, then it makes sense that a new page on an existing domain will not show up in the serps, and will be sandboxed as well.
I am within top 30 for that magical $50.00 per click keyword within 24 hours with a new page on an authoratative domain.
It has no links from the domain itself, only inbounds from other domains.
Also, I built a site with good content and great theming. It is currently sandboxed while pages I built on my PR7 authoratative (totally different industries though) to spotlight the new site and offer it links are performing top 10-20 for the new sites target keywords.
Every Page that we linked in the past has been indexed within ~ 24-48h
That's what PR is made for
But it's not just the PR that matters -- it's how often Google crawls the page in question.
If your new page gets an inbound link from a page that Google crawls regularly, the new page can be added very quickly. The PR 7 page that g1smd mentioned must be getting crawled daily, probably more than once a day, too. So it took a matter of hours for Google to find the link. Not at all unusual.
When you own a site that Google crawls regularly, you own power.
Not in my experience. If Google is sandboxing links, then it makes sense that a new page on an existing domain will not show up in the serps, and will be sandboxed as well.
I just added two pages to a site targetting a group of keywords, very common tech searches, and about 10-14 days after putting them up, my traffic has doubled, mainly based on all the keyword phrases I targetted with the new pages, some of which are getting top 3 in google now.
The new site is also crawled daily, and the index page that shows in the SERPs shows a new fresh date every day, and has done so just about every day since launch.
Content changes on the index page show up in the cache within about 24 to 36 hours of editing, and are also reflected in the changing rankings for the page at the same time.
Site still shows a toolbar PR of zero, and only two backlinks have been listed for the last three weeks or so. Site now really has about 40 or 50 backlinks (and all are from diverse ownership, diverse location, on-topic sites, with just one link from each site).
Site isn't in the ODP, and hasn't even been submitted.
