How Long before Google

How long does it take to get incoming to showup in google

[EAHunt]

Spent the last month getting all my links done, have a bunch new sites above pr4 linking in. How long before they show up in Google?

Because of what's happening with the changes in google right now, I don't think anyone here really knows.

It used to be one full cycle - that is, the links would get picked up in the deepcrawl, then indexed and counted in the google dance. So between one and two months.

Not sure that will be the case from now on. We have to wait and see I'm afraid.

Normally, people would advise waiting one, or two Google updates [webmasterworld.com] for the reasons above. Right now though, I agree with trillianjedi.

Well, I ran a "diary" for 6 weeks about getting a listing in Google. The thread didn't start that way, but many of the later posts were like that. See: [webmasterworld.com...] . Build the site, validate the HTML code, chek the spelling and presentation, make sure you use the "right stuff" on your pages (title tag, meta description, headers, title and alt attributes, etc), then see what happens over the next couple of months. I expect that your site isn't for something that happens only on one specific day though.

Is that day today (my birthday funnily enough) or 5th July?

If the former, can you sticky me the URL?

Thanks,

The date 2003-05-07 is today, 2003 May 07. It is the date format defined in the ISO 8601 International Standard, accepted in the US as ANSI X3.30 and NIST FIP 4-1, in Europe as EN 28601, and in many other places under various other numbers. It also became a core Internet Standard with the publication of RFC 3339 last year. The YYYY-MM-DD date format now crops up in the XML specs a lot as well. See [webmasterworld.com...] for more discussion.

google does my nut... It is still showing none of my backlinks, when I know that all the links I have on other peoples sites went up before the last deep crawl, they're all indexed in google and they're all PR4 or above, the only link that seems to have been added (thanks google) is one from a site that hasnt existed since February... And this has just appeared on www2 now :s

I know, but people still get it the wrong way around (espeically Europeans), which is why I asked for clarification!

I personally still use "May" rather than "05". It's so much clearer and everybody, including the Countries that are not USA or in Europe, know when that is without asking for clarification. You can trust it, because it is what it is.

That's been the standard for nearly 2050 years since the birth of the Julian calendar. It takes some shaking.

I think the "new standard" is fine for PC data, but not general text/chat or forum use. Let's not start talking in database format.

www2 = www-sj

Google has not yet calculated the back links or finished integrating the April deep crawl data.

Chill. If it's not in there by the end of next week, then panic.

My listing is not doing well in -sj, www2 or www3.

Try the others: -in, -fi, -va, -ab, -ex etc; they might be better.

I don't mind if you use May instead of 05 but you then lock out non-English speaking users. Of the possible ways that 2003-05-07 could be interpreted, only YYYY-MM-DD is actually used, whereas for 07/05/2003 the US interprets that as mm/dd/yyyy and the UK as dd/mm/yyyy. Now that a world standard is in place, then you shouldn't have any problems using it. The usage is gradually spreading.

That's an argument that I just really don't understand.

I *speak* English! If I reply to a thread, or write one, or create a website, it is in English.

So the non-English speakers have to do a translation anyway!

If I was writing a website for Spain, I would get it written in Spanish, including all the names of the month!

I'm all for a standard in numericals for databases etc.... but not in common language usuage, please. It's hideous.

I'm thinking about a website with images on it, where the date of that image is important, as just one of many possible examples.

EA,
Our site placed links all over the map around 3/6 and yet to have been picked up by Google. Our site is laying at PR0 still, I know we are not penalized but you would hope that Google picks the links up sooner rather than later. I have heard it can take up to 90 days for google to pick them up.
