Time taken for inclusion in index
-
After a page is crawled, how much time does it take to be included in Google's index ? Immediately ? after few days ?
-
I recall seeing a question you asked about Google + a day or so ago, but I did not know the answer to it. Sorry.
I would suggest you at least provide a link to the question otherwise no one will find it.

Thanks again for a very detailed clarification. I wish someone answers my question about Google plus button too.

There is not any published standard on how frequently Google will discover new content on your site. There are too many factors ranging from your DA (which is not actually a Google metric), how deep the page is in your site, how well linked the page is both internally and externally, etc.
It could be that Google was planning to visit your site, you post an article, and they find it right away. It could also happen then Google just left your site, you post an article and they may not find it for a week or more.
The normal rules of SEO apply. If your article is important then either add a snippet to your landing page or at least link directly to it from your landing page. Work immediately to earn links to the article, tweet it, etc. Send Google an updated sitemap with a link to the article. All of these activities can indicate to Google your content is important and should be indexed.

I missed the last point. That's what i would like to know. I mean for a normal website, there must be some time delay in crawling and indexing. Not every site has a DA of 87 !
-
I find it strange that one of my question about Google plus button is unanswered. I hope someone answers it.

Thanks Ryan for your quick response.

When Google crawls a page it is immediately added to the index, assuming they decide to index the page.
Want proof? When I look at this Q&A I see "Posted by Atul Sharma about 1 hour ago". When I search Google for this Q&A title I find this result.
Keep in mind SEOmoz has a DA of 87 which is why Google crawls this site so frequently.

Hello everybody, As you can see here: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:G-iicHoDJeYJ:www.billigste-internet.dk/&hl=da&gl=dk&strip=1 Google index the text "Forside" as the H1 tag, and "Right" and "Left" as body text, on my website. But I do not want that Google indexes this. But when I look in mine source code (see here: view-source:http://www.billigste-internet.dk/) I can not find "Forside", "rigth" or "Left", so I can delete it. Is there anyone who can help me where I need to delete the text "Forside", "Right" and "Left", so Google does not index this text? Hope someone can help.

Is that a problem for indexing?
Hi all, I have an issue driving me crazy thant I think it could be impacting in the SERPs. My site has a spanish version "www.tarifakitesurfcamp" and an english version "www.tarifakitesurfcamp.com/en". These two "pages" in the CMS ("inicio" and "home") have the same title and the same description tag (in spanish) as the plugin ALL in one SEO only allows me to write one unique title and description for the home page via GENERAL OPTIONS (there's an option for "home title" and for "home description").. If a try to assign a title and a description individually for each page it doesn't work (I can't see the titles and description in the source code" of those pages. On the other hand, there's another page that is http://www.tarifakitesurfcamp.com/?attachment_id= which I can't locate in the CMS within pages section. This page has the same tittle and description as well. Could anyone give me a solution? Thanks.

Optimally, how many times should the key word or phrase you are targeting for a particular page be mentioned or appear on that page?
Our marketing team is debating how many times the key phrase on each of our web store's product pages should include the word/phrase we are trying to be competitive with. Can you advise?

Page Indexing
Hello All Nice easy question! I've made some on page changes to page titles, content, H1s etc but wanted to know if there was a way to check if Google has reindexed the page since the changes were made? I appreciate the different factors that will help improve your crawl rate like new content, external links, domain authority etc. I made these changes around 2 weeks ago. Google has cached the pages since I made the changes but not picked up on the new page titles in the search results. Cheers Todd
