During my 40 day vacation the site I play with, was throuhly spidered, without submitting, by some major engines that previously had only main page indexed:
Slurp/Inktomi, Architect/Excite, Ask Jeeves.
Although being still amateur, I tried to build the site using best SEO practices (thanks WmW!!!) with nothing to red-flag, except maybe kw density which on some pages exceeds 10%.
Question is: do I expect spidered pages to be included in index, and if so, what would be time table for each one? Any recent experiences?

Thanks - RZ

Rzfree,

There is no real way to tell if each page will be included in the DB. Just because you saw the spider come to the site does not mean that the page will be put in the index.

It would be nice though.

I would give it a few weeks before you see some listings......unless you have done some paid listings, sponsored listings, or paid inclusions.

I had recently paid the $200 anty to be included in the AV database, and it took almost a week and a half to two weeks......not worth the money.

[i am still pretty tired so if this doesn't make sense....sorry]

You will get the pages included Rz, but the question will be the rankings. New pages are getting buried so deep in AV and INK, you might hit China before finding your site. Give it some time and work on linkage for Ink.
