Google Super-Fast Indexing?!

[RickM]

Right,

now im not a huge earch engine junkie, however i do know what is needed when it comes to development and promotion purposes.

My website, WhichBB, fairly new (well...around 5 months old now). Now, i check every week or so its indexed pages (Google: site:whichbb.com) and its had 50-60 pages indexed for ages. Sudenly, i check today and it now has 9760 indexed pages, just in google!!

Is this something to do with the Big Daddy update or just a delay on indexes or what?

I could understand a few hundred pages being added, but to add 9700 at once was very surprising!

Im not complaining, heck the more pages indexed the better, but i just dont understand...

1) Why it was done all at once
2) Why it wasn't done for around 4 months

Yeah you had a good question
It is possible that if you got some links from Higher page rank pages or it might be bigdaddy's update

It is quite possible that Google has decided finally your site is not pure evil spam, and has accepted you into their index. If other major search engines have also had this taboo on your indexed pages, it is quite possible that you did not have enough quality links or site crawlability until recently.

How have your MSN and Yahoo! results been?

I find that MSN indexes far quicker than google, but it can be a guide as to how google will react. Although they use "different" ranking methods, google does tend to follow MSN all be it a while after, it also indexes more pages per result usually though so I guess this is an understandable trend.

People go around saying they had their website indexed by Google in less than 24 hours, and brag about how much it costs, and how complicated the process is to accomplish it, but it's not all that hard.

Just get one PR7 link link to your website for 24 hours, and boom. Google has you in it's index just like that. I guess you must have been advertising a lot then .

The other issue is not just being indexed but where you appear in the results for what you are indexed for. The most popular keyword searches are not at all easy to rank highly for quickly.
Its well documented (although usually denied by google itself) that they hold back rankings until pages mature unless they are particularly unique.

Google dont deny any of this..

And while youre right about google holding back on websites being listed for keywords until they "mature" (as you say) this is simply as a result of their sandbox filter, in use for quite some time now..

I don't necessarily think this is a bad thing in anycase, an established site in a given market can expect to be better known than an up and coming one. Its just a question of getting the right balance so that up and coming sites have a fair crack at the whip.
