Youtube - How long to get into their search?

[cmendla]

The first three videos I put up in youtube must have gotten into their search almost immediately. I've been getting fairly steady traffic since.

I put a fourth video up on the 10th. It is now the 13th and it isn't in the youtube search yet.

I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with how long it takes for a new video to show up in youtube's search.

There shoudn't be any problems with it since it is all our material and isn't controversial. I'm just wondering if the delay is normal or if youtube is experiencing a temporary indexing backlog.

thanks

I just wanted to update this as I answered my own question...

My most recent video took about 7 days to show up in youtubes index and start getting traffic. (the way to tell is to do a search for keywords that you used for that video and are pretty unique)

The other videos I posted seemed to get in the index almost immediately. I guess sometimes things just take longer.
