When Will Google Find My Site?

This article on Google's indexing schedule may be helpful.

Google Update Window of Opportunity
By Andrew Gerhart - September 06, 2002
(snip)

"The cycle begins with Google doing a major crawl (crawl 1), or spidering, which is when it sends Googlebot out to spider the current sites within its database (DB) as well as to find new websites that have been put online. Once Google has completed this crawl, grabbing all of the webpages for its next update, there will be an update shortly (roughly two weeks). Google will then update its database, showing the new results on www2.google.com and www3.google.com. During the update, the results are often shuffled between the primary database and the second and third database, and since Google uses over 10,000 servers, people in all areas of the world are usually seeing different results until the dust completely settles from the update. The update will continue for a few days, but usually no longer than a week in duration.

During and directly following the database update, Google will again begin heavy crawling (crawl 2), or spidering, of the existing websites in its database and new websites that have been launched. After this crawl by Googlebot, the cycle returns to the beginning and starts all over again for the next month."
