Default The suspense is killing me!

I converted from phpBB to vBulletin a week or two ago, and until recently all that's shown in Google has been the old site... Over the last few days most of the old site is disappearing and stuff from the new site has been appearing. But Googlebot was staying away.

Until yesterday morning. Googlebot moved in and hasn't left, it's been pretty much going through the whole site page by page.

It's taking a long time, though, it's gone through almost 1450 pages in a day and a half. MSNbot stopped by today and has started as well, it's gone through 86 pages so far but hasn't left.

I'm looking forward to seeing what the new index results look like once it's finished. Like the title says, the suspense is killing me!

Not yet... Googlebot still hasn't left the forum, it's been rolling through the pages and updating it's index slowly...

My site has over 20,000 pages, Googlebot has been through about 5,000 so far.

Googlebot is still on the site every day, along with a bunch of other spiders.

As of today, Google has 355 pages in it's index.

Yeah, but the site has over 10,000 pages. I'm keep an eye on the different DC's to see when those numbers go up. One of them had over 10K pages for a few hours, but it went away.

Soon, I guess.

After a hell of a long time, I've finally gotten most of my site into Google's index. Over 9500 pages right now. Still no links, though, I guess it's still in the sandbox.
