Lately I have noticed that it takes about 10 days to three weeks to see new pages reflecting any kind of PR or showing in the index if I link them from my main page. This is with a PR5 mainpage not sure how a higher PR page would work.
However, those same pages are crawled by adsense pretty quick and showing targeted ads in a couple of hours.

Lately I have noticed that it takes about 10 days to three weeks to see new pages reflecting any kind of PR or showing in the index if I link them from my main page.
I wonder how come my pages get into Google in a maximum of two days after being published.
Also, my site was just accepted (a couple of days ago) into news.google.com! I've seen a new page being on the news index in 15 minutes. That was fast.
However, my experience seems to suggest somewhat otherwise.
Here's an example.
I opened a new site with many pages. Some of them are linked from my existing old site and some are not.
The ones linked are now showing up in Google index.
Why is that? My theory: these pages have been opened, Mediabot ran and passed a message to Googlebot: "Hey, check out these new pages!".
Of course other explanation could be that Googlebot follows and indexes external links... do you think it does that?
I guess it has to at some point, otherwise how could they get those millions of sites spidered in the first place.

Yes, it does. It is well known that if you want to get indexed quickly, find yourself a link from a high PR site that is cached daily by Googlebot. Mediabot, from what I see, does not follow links at all.
The other possible explanation, other than mediabot telling Googlebot is if you visited the pages with the Google toolbar on (so you can see PR of sites). Google says this doesn't work, but several here have proven otherwise.
