davewray, your site sounds brand-new, so it's natural that you start at zero. As your site builds links over time, you'll see that number gradually increase. It's nothing to worry about--just keep following the Brett Plan.

Webguerrilla, I mentioned it in a different thread, but it's kinda funny. People doing cache: queries directly to IP addresses are triggering it--so only the WebmasterWorld crowd sees this happening. The solution is to either not use an IP address, or to wait a few hours and it should be fixed then. It's funny to see something come up specifically when webmasters try to bypass the normal DNS that Google does. :) But it's nothing to worry about.

Jesse I think he just meant they were able to stop paying Overture since they appear in Google now.

:::Darn it - I was so pleased with myself for getting them in freshbot before the update!

If your PR is high enough, you can stay listed befor the next dance if you continue geting visits from the freshbot. For example 2,000 of my vBulletin files have been listed for a week and a half now because of the freshbot.

Thanks GG...I guess because I'm new at this I tend to get a little finatical! It's also good to hear that from you considering you'd know what is going on! Ever thought of changing your handle to "GoogleGod"? :)

Also if you change your site a lot during that time you will possibly get spidered a lot more often. My site has google visiting it about 4-5 times a day at the moment because I change parts of the site everyday.

Im not talking just the index page either, im talking the full site including the french pages...!

I'll probably have to start another topic on this one but I've noticed that certain serps seem to stay the same - very little freshbot movement for a month and others seem to update constantly.

The changes I mentioned from last Sunday seemed to happen on less important serps while the my big traffic serps still showed the old cache - any thoughts?

lol logen.

Have we ever seen an adult query that wouldn't be classified as spam? (news to me if there is such a thing).

I'm there in the ex database. But my site is not showing up in serps. Is this penalty? or I'll have to wait for the full update?

::I got a client who was paying Overture $6/click for a phrase to #3 on the ex server.
Um, Overture has nothing to do with Google. Nothing you do on Overture will get you a higher ranking on Google. Look at top ranking sites in Google, not Overture.

Huh? I was simply stating that he was paying $6/click because he ranked like #32 for the phrase and got no traffic from 'natural' search engines.

I redesigned his website and now he is #3 on the EX server IN NATURAL LISTINGS for the phrase he currently pays $6/click on Overture for. I was simply sharing how much money I will be saving my client as he won't need to bid on that term at all- IF results stay the same to full index.

Yeah, one of my (non-adult) sites had the #1 match for an adult search term, but it's now about #6 with the rest replaced with spam.. typically from expired domains though.

I was ranking 4th on my main keyword. On www2 I am still 4th. 1 and 2 are the same and the 5th became 3rd. Now all the 3 sites abouve me on www3 has decreased there back link and I have increased the backlinks a lot. Even sites refering to me has increased back links.

Do I wait more?
Is google hiding some of the back links to make things confusings?

GG,

All my site are already there in your database, But if i search for keyword phrases my site is not showing up, not even in 100th page. Why is this? Is this penalty? Or i'll have to wait?

Earlier I posted how I had three pages missing from the index on www-ex. in searches, allinurl, link:, etc but that they still were listed in the aggregate results for those queries. On www2. they are now all there in their full glory. I guess this type of thing would displace other sites in the serps and thusly account for the dance. I like it:)

An interesting and completely unexpected side note GG:

A site just posted March 29, 2003 is in this update (only 3 pages out of 30 mind you) but I didn't consider this was even possible. I never even checked the logs for googlebot since the late post was after the deep crawl ended (or at least I thought it ended).

No real ranking potential this time around but the client will be quite please since it pretty much guarantees a full crawl next month.

Ah, so Brett must live on the "right" coast and GG lives on the "wet" coast :) 3am here. But it's cool to see that my site finally has PR, even if it is zero! I know why now though :) I guess I could assume that my site navigation is not too bad if over 90% of my pages got indexed?

Yeah- and 5AM here now. And I had been trying last 2 days to get back into a more normal sleep pattern! Even took some benedryl to get to bed early then I caught the beginning of this thread!

:-O

So much for 'normal'. ;)

GG,
Why is my site not showing up in SERP's? But if i search for www.mydomain.com it appears. What is the reason? Is this penalty?

This is not just for single site of mine but almost all my site.

Site up on March 29th and showing up in Google on the 10th or 11th of April. Not too shabby. Sounds like the kind of test I'd like to get better at. :)

davewray, sounds like your site navigation is perfect. Don't forget that you can also submit your pages on our add url form too.
