What’s the fastest time it took for your website to get indexed on Google’s search results - a month, a week or a day? How about 7 minutes?! I’ve read about Google working hard to improve the freshness of their search results but this certainly came as a surprise to me. My blog post yesterday about SEO For PDF Documents was indexed almost immediately: It certainly wasn’t a personal search thingy because although I have the Google toolbar installed, I wasn’t signed in. And the only two places that I pinged was Technorati and Ping.sg. To be doubly sure, I checked the search results using both Firefox and IE, and also through a U.S. web proxy to see if it was reflected on the other datacenters too. Sure enough, my blog post ranked on Page 2 for the phrase “seo for pdf documents” (without quotes). And to top it off, it rose to Page 1 of Google’s search results within hours.
My post about boxing was indexed by Google in a record time of 20 minutes?! Whoa.. my fastest post ever to be included in SERP! And to think that this blog is just a few days old! screenshot: http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n105/linusoft/serp.jpg

leo: don’t know if you experienced the same thing as I have but the posts eventually “disappears” from the search results and then re-appears a couple of days later. It’s also inconsistent, i.e. my latest post was not indexed immediately.
