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.

Is this true, this was about 4 days ago he told me this and there is no changes yet is he lying

I've heard it can take up to 7-8 days.

I think this might be a how long is a piece of string questions as it depends on the number of pages crawled, and the web has allot.... for a bit more info see

Assuming your web designer has re-submitted the sites sitemap to google and the site

Anyway, I uploaded a new site about 2 weeks ago, informed google, submitted my sitemap, its number 2 in the rankings now  

[Moderator David@stives]

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.

I told him to take the apwc off, I didnt want flash, i am playing a waiting game at the moment. I

Your Cornish Window Cleaing site in my opinion and particulary on the home page doesn't contain enough of the key word Cornwall, Window and Cleaning.

[jouk45]

dave, make a small advertisment, then stick it on youtube, after only a few days you will be all over google, faster than any other way,

[Moderator David@stives]

Neil and Jouk

Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it.

[Chris B]

It shouldnt take longer than a couple of weeks....
