Index Timeline?

I had to move my forums to a subfolder because I installed an auction site at my root. Because of this move, I lost all of my indexed material for the forums.

I submitted the new location of the sitemap about a week ago and thus far, nothing has been indexed.

I remember when I originally submitted my sitemap when the forums were at the root, it took like 1-2 days till the index started.

Do I have something set up wrong?

Trade WoW Accounts - WoW Account Trading - Masked Crusader is my forum URL.

http://www.maskedcrusader.com/wow-ac...p_index.xml.gz is my forum sitemap URL.

If someone could let me know if this timeline is to be expected by Google or whether I have something setup incorrectly, it would be greatly appreciated.

You should have set up redirects as oultined:
URL redirect after moving forum from root directory?


There is no set time line for anything. Google does what it wants. Adding the 301s will help.

Did not even think about the 301 redirects. That was fun manual labor...ugh. It is done now and works perfectly. The pagination links work as well within the forums.

Thanks for your help Brian!

after I moved mine to a sub folder it took about 1 month of so to start getting back on my feet
