It has been a week, and my two featured hubs are still no yet indexed by Google.
You can add it manually through Google Webmasters at www.google.com/addurl.html if you choose.
I believe your site receives a better ranking if it is found naturally (via links) than if you submit it manually. If you can't wait go for it I suppose.
Yea same thing here. I published two hubs around 13 days ago normally they are indexed the same day or at least by a Thursday. The other search engines indexed them though I hope google isn't slapping hubpages or something like that. Have the other engines indexed your hubs as well?
'featured by HP' is pretty meaningless -- all it takes is 1 or 2 hits a month and a hub is 'featured'
Sometimes it takes a while for Google to get around to crawling things- sorry for the delay!!
That also has me confused Google crawled my site > 5 times since publication and still did not index it.
Go to sites which curate content and submit your link there. Find a relevant topic or niche where it will be welcome.
Start at Scoop.it or Snip.it - I like both of those. Better yet, join up and become a content curator so you can feature your own links in your own topics.

Google likes finding your links on sites other than HubPages. You will get indexed sooner if you have some clout (Klout too). http://klout.com/#/thatgrrl
"Google doesn't crawl all the pages on the web, and we don't index all the pages we crawl. It's perfectly normal for not all the pages on a site to be indexed."

How do you know whether your article is indexed by Google or not?
(I am rather ignorant in these matters, I'm afraid - I just write and hope for the best ... )
Copy the url of your article into the Google search field. If you see it in the search results - it's indexed.
A Hub I posted only 4 days ago is indexed in Google. I'm not seeing any issues.

Elsewhere on the forums people are reporting very long delays in getting indexed by Google - the delays seem to be increasing. Obviously this has been caused by the NOINDEX tag added to new hubs when under review and to ZZZ hubs while being reconsidered. Surely this is of concern to HP? As a writer...

I now have 11 hubs that are not indexed by google - nothing published since July 12 (the last one was published on the 9th and indexed yesterday). Normally I've seen then set up with 24 hours, occasionally in 48, but now it's 8 days and not done!!??

Usually I can find my articles on Google within a few hours, sometimes minutes. Now it seems I can't even find my articles on the site for more than 36 hours after they are published.I believe the new idle feature is affecting how hubs are indexed. Doesn't this affect traffic? What is causing this...

In the past few days my traffic had dropped to 1/3 of what it was. Most of it lost from Google. Besides the latest Panda update, which helped some and hurt others, I am wondering if a change that HubPages just made had had a negative effect...Ten of my hubs that were idle (not featured) have...
