Index Times and Search Engines
Index times varies from search engine to search engine. Most certainly Google is the fastest. From my experience Google can spider the web faster then any other search engine. Then Ive notice Yahoo is extremely slower, I have competitive keywords on the front page of Google that have not even hit Yahoo yet which there algorithms are a little different, but for the most part they are the same. So if your wondering why your not ranking on Yahoo, or its coming up slower and Google seems to have a good placement just give it some time, put it this way Yahoo is probably 6-8 months behind everything Google does if that give you any idea of how slow it is.
Just keep building links into the site and eventually it will get more trust rank, page rank, and higher rankings. Keep in mind MSN is even slower, but the good thing is when you get leveled out on all these search engines it will pay off big time in the future patience is the key. If you have patience with search engines and building links then you will make it. Thats another reason seo consultants and link builders make as much as attorneys if not more because the ones that have established there time know there trades and its a very time consuming and anything in life thats worth having will not come right off the bat.
