Re: site submitted 18 days ago and nothing happaned

>Anyone with examples how long it took with their site to get crawled?

Telling you that Google crawls nearly every page daily, fetches
important pages a few times per day, adds new pages in no time,
provides me with tons of targeted traffic, well that will not help you
with a new site, but it defines your goals. Work hard and become a
known expert on your topic, gain reputation, add interesting content,
beg barter and wait but never pay for trusted inbound links, then in a
year or earlier this will happen to you. Crawling is just the very
first step.
