6 weeks! There you have it, thats the answer. Show’s over, you can go home now….or you can continue reading for the full low-down.
It begins in this article - SEO Pearl of Wisdom #1 - How long does it take to be indexed with Google? In there i explained how google will touch your site very quickly and index your homepage. Then, you can check your logs and see that the googlebot (the little engine that trawls through your website looking at the content and reporting back to google) is coming back to your site regularly and reading ALL your content - but its still not appearing in search results. The full details of why that is are in the other article, but i can tell you - don’t despair. It only takes six weeks for google to display the rest of your site.
By doing a search similar to this one - http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=site%3Aphuba.com&btnG=Google+Search you can see exactly how many pages google has indexed from your site.
Hi Bevan
Got this blog from whirlpool. Looks good. They talk about this being the sandbox effect. Newer sites through crawled will start right down the bottom and only get closer once they are older.
Happy to do some guest blogging about my experiences. my site is www.nph.com.au and I am now to the point that if I want to put a page up about a new Cisco or HP product, I can be on the front page of Google Aust and sometimes even google.com in 3-4days
Would also like to compare blogger to Movable type if you have time.
Chat soon

Hi Bevan
Also noticed that your Adsense ads are showing unrelated and probably low value ads on your page.
I have done a little bit of experimenting with this on one of my experiment blogs (unrelated to my IT business) and this is what I found
1. Make sure title has some super keywords in it regarding what you are writing about such as Search Engine Optimisation Secrets or some other similar
2. Adsense in my testing didnt bother to look at the content of each post much to determine what to advertise, it just seemed to look at the title of the post, so same deal make sure you have a title that is keyword rich and then assuming you are looking for adsense revenue from SEO ads this should flow.
Have a look at www.divorce-law-tips.com
