Comments on: Google slow to index blog posts? http://ebiquity.umbc.edu/blogger/2008/02/24/google-slow-to-index-blog-posts/ EBB is the ebiquity research group\\\'s blog at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). We focus on technologies that facilitate the design, implementation and control of distributed, intelligent information systems -- mobile and pervasive computing, ad hoc networking, multiagent systems, knowledge representation and reasoning, and the semantic web. As the tides of technology ebb and flow, we hope the good ideas wash up on our beach and the bad ones drift back out to sea.

We can ping all we want (feeds, URLs), but it seems that we only get into blogsearch after the main index, or not at all. Worse, a colleagues' wordpress-hosted (as in, hisblog.wordpress.com) blog pops into the blogsearch index almost immediately. Could that support the pagerank/index queue item above? Could my sites' content somehow considered spam? It would seem almost certain that I'll die without resolving this issue.

Some websites seam to get their pages indexed the moment they are made, while others need to wait for weaks, or even months. Submitting a sitemap dosn't even make google index you pages faster, actually i have sevaral pages from the beginning of may, which havn't been indexed yet. Lets be clear about something, google really has some wired ways to work sometimes, picking pages/posts more or less random at times.

I had the opposite problem - a post I'm watching appeared very quickly in Google Blog Search but (hours later) has yet to appear in the main index. If it can take 12 hours and is normal, I suppose that answers my question! Thank you.

The queue for who gets into that is controlled by an approximation of pagerank. I guess ebiquity might be losing page rank that is why it is not near instantaneous. The goal is make very high traffic sites like cnn quickly indexed. We can index new posts within about 60 seconds. The queue for who gets into that is controlled by an approximation of pagerank.
