If I was evil and the biggest search engine...

If I was the biggest search engine and was evil I would not index new sites for a very, very, long time. This would force them to spend money advertising their sites on my search engine. Ha Ha ha, laughing all the way to the bank.

Thankfully Google doesn't do this. I just launched a new site and the home page was indexed within 48 hours, with more pages going in daily.

.coms should be companies, .infos should be informative, and .bizs should sell snake oil and magic beans.

:hehe:

Surely it just means that those currently at the top would not be paying advertising costs displacing the new companies.

Net effect would only be offset by any difference in advertising spend due to the age of company.

Wow, How did you manage that one ?? Mine can take up to 8 weeks with Google !

A link from an established site seemed to do the trick.

Also, there have been some reports of the AdSense bot sharing data with googlebot, so I used the AdSense preview tool on it just in case.

Exactly.

Yes, I doubt the AdSense thing made a difference.

gazzip, basically if you get a link on a PR5 site, it will be indexed within a couple of days. PR4 will take a few days, etc etc.

You can get indexed very quickly on Google by placing a link to your site from another site frequently visited by Googlebot. Getting good rankings for a new site is an entirely different matter!

Thanks - I thought I had put in a link from one of my PR4 sites to my new one, I will have to check it out again.

I used to be able to get on page one the majority of times for a large number of keywords/search terms.

I can't even seem to get within the top 100 results anymore ?? Maybe, my newer sites are lacking a bit in content compared to the previous ones.

Saying that make me wonder - I just did a one page site to advertise one of my domains - That one has done well, about number 7 in google for my three keywords (with space between) - That has next to no content but is linked to a couple of very low PR sites of mine, it still took a few weeks to get listed.

Ahhhh - One day I will get my head around it all ! :hehe:

Thanks all

It's not just the PR of the page on which you place the link that counts; it's also how frequently it gets visited by Googlebot. If you update a page regularly, then Google will check back for the new version more regularly, and so pick up (and follow) more quickly any new links that you've placed.
