    How long will it take to get indexed?

    I know you cannot fully answer this question, as know one can really.

    I guess my forum would be a good test run for vBSEO. Reason being is because I started a brand new web community using vBSEO right from the getgo. I had about 30 posts when it was installed, maybe less.

    Anyways, MSN seems to be loving it right now... with about 500 pages indexed. Though Google is still poking around. I get quite a few hits from it daily. I am using the Yahoo/Google Sitemaps generator tool which it submits to google on a nightly basis.

    I was just wondering how long I should expect to wait before my site starts to become indexed by Google. I have two pages currently sitting in Google's index which really have no relevancy to the forum at all (The main page, and a sub-forum for posting musical tastes - my board is primarily a web community)

    I was just wondering exactly how long the process might take. The forum is about 2 weeks old using vBSEO.

    So, I don't know. Any feedback as what to expect or why it might be taking so long?

    Do you have the vBSEO Google / Yahoo Sitemap plugin installed? If not, do. It'll help kick start Google indexing your site.

    It can take months for indexed pages to show up in Google though. According to my Sitemap Stats, Google has pulled in close to 200,000 of my 400,000 URLs over the last several months, yet only about 13,000 show up in their index so far.
