Ask HN: How long before Google crawls your startup website?
2 comments
Submit a sitemap to Google Webmaster Tools for starters. Then try to get backlinks from other websites so Google can use an indexable path to your site.
If your site really is www.foobar.com, it appears to be blank right now.

I already submmited a sitemap, but still no crawls. :/
And foobar is just dummy domain to explain my situation.

You could have just given actual name , google might have indexed it through this back link ;)
@Prashant: I added in the actual domain name, hopefully Google picks it up. :) Good idea!
www.smitecamp.com
I added in all recommended SEO tags from SEOMoz and generated a sitemap and submitted to Google Webmaster tools. It's been 5 days now and we still haven't been crawled by Google.
Any idea on how long it takes for Google to actually show your pages? I even searched for an exact "smitecamp.com" and it still shows the old domain-squatter type WHOIS pages.
