Google filters new sites

I recently received an e-mail about the controversy of Google pagerank and how long it takes for Google to list a new page. I thought it was quite interesting, so here is a summarization of the e-mail.

Apperently Yahoo and MSN finds and list new pages approximatly three weeks after page launch. Google however can be about 12 weeks to categorize and list a new page. Earlier speculations about Google would simply block out new pages with some kind of filter appears to be true.

Trying to figure out how Google list pages is quite a science and it is very hard to actually prove, how its search algorithm functions in reality. We can only speculate and do tests to a certain point, this however is also what makes SEO (Search Engine Optimization) such an interesting "science".






The timeline illustrates the brith of a webpage and how long it takes for the search engines crawlers, to crawl and list the site.
