Hi there. Can anyone help me. How long does it usually take to start showing for your key search terms? Thanks

There is a maximum of 1000 results for each search phrase on Google. Often new sites don't even show in that 1000 results.

It can take Google anywhere from days for pages of a new site that is targeting a non competitive phrase, to 6mths plus for a competitive phrase. And that is just for a page to start showing in the top 1000, let alone rank in the top 10 for a phrase.

It is not easy to get a new page showing for a competitive phrase, even on a site that has many pages that are well ranked. While it is lots easier to get pages ranked on older high PR sites, it is still something that takes time.

Patience, slowely adding links, more patience, and more links... and you get to the top.

You Keep increasing your backlink. Possibly the from related sites, i mean quality back link.
But you dont expect google to show up your key phrase in a matter of few days...
