Thread: How long to reindex?

I have following problem with google. Long time ago I created a small site. Unfortunately I used frames on some pages (most important) and google didn't index them correctly. Recently I've read that if sites use frames there is need to optimize them for crawlbots 'cause they can't deal with frames well (which suprised me 'cause lynx can follow frames like normal links).

Anyway I got rid of frames (it was less trouble than fixing frames for crawlers), and I wonder when fixed pages will get reindexed. I noticed that main pages (former frameset and frames) almost don't show in search and in cache are mostly only those pages that were non-framed. If there is former framset in cache it is empty (only url). The worst thing however is that those cache are like from 1-year ago... The site has PR0 and I suspect it will take ages before it get's crawled by googlebot again.

I just submited to their SiteMap beta program and provided map with <lastmod> tags for updated pages, but still I'm sure they take pagerank into account when crawling these sitemaps.

So anyone have idea how long can it last? (come on 1 year!?).

I have a site been visited by Google almost very day. Now i have two more new sites which were registered a few weeks ago. They are now all indexed. I think a good way to get indexed is to get links from quality sites. The bots will visit your sites in no time.

hope this help

The quickest way to get google to follow a link to your site is post in a high traffic google group. (any group with 10 or more posts a day) It's free, easy and takes about 2 minutes.

When i first started building my site i posted there and left a url for feedback and before you know it i was indexed. The sad part was i didnt want to be indexed yet! I wasnt ready.

Wow! that is a great idea!

Thank you vegas-kid! I will try it.

I find that the most time between google crawling my sites again is a month, but most of my sites have some sort of linking system.

Lately there has been a discrepancy with Google pertaining to bot activity and indexing. Even with the bots hitting your site, Google has been slow to index new pages.

To increase bot activity, make sure you have at least a few links from authority or trusted sites. This is especially important if your site has a low TrustRank. Low TR means that Google will crawl your site less frequently.

You may also want to look into installing Google sitemaps. Sometimes it can help get your site indexed.

If your site has backlinks from a few other sites, googlebot will be back. As long as the error is truly fixed, the problem will go away. You could check in Webmastertools for any error messages - and if you submit an accurate xml Sitemap, that may also help.

it will take 2-4 weeks before Google crawl your site.

Check out your webmaster tool and try to find is there any error has been raised. Resolve it and submit your site to quality directories and update your site content at an regular intervals.
