This page is an experiment to see how long it takes for Google's web crawler to find a new site. The idea is to find a word that does not exist on the web, put up a site with that word, and see how long it is until the site is found. With this in mind, here is a word I made up for the purpose: EffEyeEnDeeEmEe. (Yes, that says "find me".) Let's first make sure the word is really not anywhere on the web.

So there we are. No EffEyeEnDeeEmEe anywhere that Google knows about. Below, I will put up a time line of how things proceed. However, some things to think about:
So there we are. No EffEyeEnDeeEmEe anywhere that Google knows about. Below, I will put up a time line of how things proceed. However, some things to think about:
1. Is the fact that this page is hosted on Google going to skew the answer? (well, we'll see, won't we?) To really determine that, we'll need a site that is hosted elsewhere, for comparison.

2. What about the fact that it is not linked to from anywhere? (Yet.)

3. The main keyword only occurs twice on the page (excluding the screen shot). Is that a problem?

March 19, 2019: Google still does not recognize my new word. In fairness, there are no links anywhere that point to this page, so how could it be found? Let's remedy that. There is now a link to this page from Tom Hayes' webpage
