I would like to know what is the delay between page indexing and ranking for new sites?Assuming pages are visible with the site command, how much time before one sees them in search results? I have read there can be a significant delay for new websites. Did you observe this on your sites?I would like to know when should I start wondering whether there is an issue with one of my sites.Thanks!
Delay between indexing and ranking for new sites?
google index;google ranking
If your site is visible with the site: command then your site is already in the search results.If your site is indexed then it's available in the search results; there is no delay.However, there is a delay between crawling and indexing. And the fact that a page is crawled doesn't necessarily mean that it will be indexed.If your site is indexed and visible when you do a site: search but not for some arbitrary keyword search then this just means that your site is not yet ranking well for that particular search term. Other sites are ranking better.In order to now improve your ranking you need to do all the usual SEO/SEM stuff... and get people to link to you - this is the time consuming part. If it's a new site then you're obviously not going to have (m)any backlinks yet.
