How much time for re-indexing ?
-
I was just checking Google Webmaster tools and I found 102 duplicate title pages. Just fixed them all now.
Shall I re-submit the site map again or how do we tell Google about the changes and then how much time does it take for them to clear SERPS cache and re-index re-count ? -
Google is in no hurry. It takes approximately a month for Google to revisit all your site's pages. The time is highly variable based on how important Google views each page on the site (i.e. how many links, tweets, etc the page receives).
If you check Google after 30 days, you will likely find most of the issue has been resolved, but it may take longer for the issue to be fully resolved. Sometimes Google may visit your site and experience an issue where the page could be skipped for a month. Other issues can arise as well.
If you are truly concerned about these pages, you can either promote them via social media or earn links to them. Otherwise, check after 30 days and the issue should be mostly resolved.

Ok thanks. So, key is to wait and in the meantime, keep sharing and getting good social traffic!

You can also give it a nudge by asking Google to recrawl in webmaster tools. There is an option in there to ask it to add it to the index. No guarantees and its normally best to let Google,e do it on its own time.

Which option ?
Screenshot please.
