Post by: Moderator David@stives on March 06, 2009, 06:15:47 pm: How long does google take to recognise changes to your website.

My web designer has told me website is finished and is just waiting for google to find the changes.

Post by: Moderator David@stives on March 06, 2009, 06:52:24 pm: Jeff Good idea about the search, maybe we all could do one a week for everyone, I hit all my links on my site as often as i can.

If you google

Window cleaning, hayle, or carbis bay or st ives or even cornwall and truro i come up top in them areas.

I have 2 sites and the one i made 2 weeks ago is doing well in the ranks, ie the cornishwindow cleaning one.

How long does google take to recognise changes to your website.

google last cached (searched) your site on 26 Feb
Apparently one thing google doesn't like is pages with 'Under Construction' on it and you've got a few pages of that.
Association of PWC down the left side. if that is script and not a picture then you will be penalised for that as white script is considered 'hidden script' and that's a big no no.

Hi Dave

Looks like the last time Google cached your site was on 19 Feb 09. Usually the search engines cache site's between 7-14 days.

Post by: Nathanael Jones on March 08, 2009, 10:18:10 am: Google will normally index your main page within 2 weeks, especially if you use their webmaster tools to submit it & monitor it. BUT,.. if you've a lot of pages you might find its months before every page is indexed. Older domains are normally indexed faster, and submitting a sitemap will help the other pages to be indexed faster.
