I haven't had a new hub indexed by Google since 09/24/09. 10 hubs since then are not in Google at all. Is anyone else seeing a problem like this? Is anyone else checking their hubs to see if they are indexed?
I just checked after you mentioned it and I think you are correct , but I hope I'm wrong
I know the answer, but Im not going to help you, not after the way you spoke to me the other day.
The hub I published on Sep 30th is indexed, but the Hub I published on Oct 1st isn't yet. I'd say I'm seeing about the same time frame as Nellie.
A week isn't really a problem. Elsewhere it can take much longer. Just keep writing hubs. As you create a large portfolio of hubs, the older ones will keep making money, while the newer ones find their way into google, yahoo, and bing.
Okay! I know, dumb question,
BUT,
how do you check to see if you are indexed? I've always wondered and meant to ask.
Here's how I do it:
Visit your hub in your browser.
Copy the entire URL from the browser address bar to the clipboard
open google.com
Paste the url into the search bar, click submit
Your hub should be the first result. If it's not there, i assume it's not been indexed by Google.
You can repeat the process with the other search engines.
I made a thread about this and people just keep telling me its gonna take 6-7 days. Well..today is the 7th of October and my Hub from the 29th still isn't indexed.

All have been indexed now, it does take exactly 7 days from the same hour you post it (in most cases).

All of the hubs that I have published today, and yesterday, are indexed in google. I dont know whether they have fixed a problem.... or whether they just like me for some reason or another.
It's a Gaboon Viper ... Beware, as it might bite you in the asp.
One Hub I published on 10-6 is indexed now, but another on the same day isn't.
It seems to be kinda hit and miss since 9-29.

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!!??

New hubber here! (Well, sorta new. Started an account years ago and just checked back in.) Still trying to grasp the whole SEO thing and I'm wondering how long it takes to get a hub indexed and how to tell if you have been? Also, are articles on the niche sites more "findable" on google...

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...

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...

hi fellow hubbers allow me to ask a question and i will be very grateful if you help me out on this. my question is, is it really normal for hubs not to be indexed by search engines like google more than 24 hours after they have been published? that is the problem i'm facing eventhough my hubpages...
