I used Namesecure.com and their forwarding option to set up a website.
After two or three days.. Google was already spidering the directory, before I ever did any submission process. Luckily the page was just about done when Google came by...
On the sixth day I just happened to check... and the site was showing up just about where it was supposed to show up... and the search of the domain showed it was in the directory. This was also true for Yahoo.
Now this morning... poof all is gone, no listing..... in either directory.
This is so weird...
How could Google even know about the domains "birth", unless Namesecure is releasing new domains to them, and then start spidering it?
Yahoo... had it in their directory at almost the same time as Google... which was also weird and then they are both gone this morning?
Any comments on the way Google and the other search engines like or dislike the redirect Namesecure uses...
Thanks for your thoughts and insights on these topic.

Google spidered...like fast, site showed up fast.. poof gone today..
The magic words are "Freshbot" and "Everflux." Read this: [webmasterworld.com ]
you will probably be added to the index by then.
Or if you're a bit unlucky and got spidered by fresh near the end of the month, you may miss a month. This has happened twice to me recently: picked up by fresh, some rankings, a little traffic, then it all disappears with the update and I'm out for a month. Back in with a proper PR the next month.
I had read here last yearish about google's more agressive
spidering, and followed in my logs the activity...
but not about Everflush (sounds more like a radiator treatment).
Thanks again.

I assumed the googlebar in my browser was sending the domain name back to google while I was browsing it, and that's how google got to know about it's existence and therefore spidered it.
If this is the case then it's something to watch out for if you are developing a new site and aren't ready for it to be spidered.
