Thanks! I just find it confusing - why does it take them so long, when they crawl other pages much more frequently? Also I seem to recall that they aim to deliver results on news items much more quickly (ie new terrorist strike somewhere - can't wait two weeks for the information to show up).

why does it take them so long ... it isn't long just ask other people how long one had to wait to be in the Google index 2 years ago Tichy :)

Just wait, optimize keywords in page, create backlinks and you will get nice pagerank as a bonus.

Hm, marketing 2.0? ;-) Maybe I should contact those guys who sneaked a fake terrorist message into the super bowl broadcasts?

Have you had any content up on the domain before this?

Google tries to get news items into the index quickly, but that doesn't mean they are doing it from newly discovered sites. Part of the reason they crawl sites frequently is that the site has new content every time the crawler visits. I'm sure it also doesn't help if the site has something other than a baseline pagerank.

Also keep in mind that at some point in the past year or two, Google appeared to give better pagerank to sites on domains whose registration was paid up more than a year in advance.
