Have a new site up...I was crawled by Googlebot a few weeks ago. Site has been live for about 1 month. I know it's realistic to be very patient and expect a 2 mos wait.
But when I saw Googlebot a couple weeks ago- I thought I may get into this next index.
I checked www2 and www3 and I ain't nowhere to be found.
I know I have at least 6 inbound links and the inbound links do not show on www2 or www3 yet either.
If I'm not in www2 or www3 as of early this AM- 12/28, does that mean I'll probably need to wait until next month?
How often does Google update www2 and www3?
TIA

Your site should have been included by now by the Freshbot. When Google does its regular monthly update (Tonight? Tomorrow?), odds are very good you will find your site on www2 and www3. Patience.
:-D
Thanks...that would be mondo cool.

Dec.15, I uploaded my new site
Dec. 16-20, Obtained about 25 high quality reciprocal links. This was done through web-sites I've traded links with in the past. They know me, my field and were comfortable trading links with me again - even on a new site.
Dec. 22 I was appearing in Google thanks to the Freshbot with some fairly good ranking on minor keywords. Of course, my PageRank bar is gray, but only until the update.
Dec. 22 - present, working on more high quality reciprocal links.
I am anxious to see how I will do when the update appears. But I am sure they didn't find all my links.
My suggestion, get yourself some good quality reciprocal links.
And I never bothered to go to the google submit page.

There are two IP's Googlebot uses? Which one are these critters?
I haven't gotten a visit from Google since then. Nothing has changed on my site, but I have picked up a couple more links.
I still cannot find my site nor the inbound links to it via www2 or www3.

What is www2 and www3? I've been patiently waiting for my site to be listed in Google and it's a no-go. I'm getting worried. I may have over optimized this sucker beyond the limits of googlebot. :)
How do I know if I've been included in www2 or ww3. Is there a way to find out?

Thanks,
Ken Eynon
Just go to www2 or www3.google.com and search for your domain

PS: too late ;)
I have several reciprical links too.
Thanks again,
Ken
This is very difficult given the nature of my site. See my email addy in profile for url.

Well, I've followed guidelines from another popular SEO website. I haven't done anything out of the ordinary. However, my key phrases are probably the most difficult to get listed under- ranking well. I don't expect to get ranked well at all.
I just want to get in the index. Submitted to Dmoz about 1 month ago...

I'm trying. Highest PR site I've found I can get a link from is an association. It would be a banner ad plus a straight text link among many others- PR of 8. Costs $100 just to "advertise" with them.

Yes...SEO requires huge amounts of patience to see results of hard work.

Trying- very tough in my business. That's why so many use Overture/AdWords... :(

Freshbot may or may not include pages from your site(s). I have several sites in Google, one of which has 44,000+ pages indexed, the another 6,000+ pages indexed. (dynamic sites using XQASP). The other sites are dynamic, but not using XQASP and have 100 - 500 pages indexed in general. Anyway I have 8 sites total I am working with. I montitor Googlebot in the logs, and track SE referers and keywords with script right in the websites.
The largest site, with the 44,000+ links used to get new pages showing up with the freshbot - I could see when I added a group the Googlebot following the links, and within maybe a week, the pages would show up, and then dissappear. This does not seem to be happening anymore within the last 2 months. I added links to products by vendor, and vendors listed in the site map also, and they did show up within the next Google update, but never with freshbot.
I would say if you got the site up and running and indexed within 2 weeks prior to an update, you are probably in. I have put sites up and gotten them crawled 1 week prior to an update and the site did not show up until the 2nd update.

p.s. If you have any advertising budget, maybe you might want to try a few adwords - make sure you try figure out your ROI on each one.

Just to finish off this thread...
Every single page of my website (small) has been indexed and cached on www2.
It hasn't migrated to the main google DB yet though. Also, I didn't see anything on www2 until January 1st...but didn't check it Dec 31st.

I use Overture and prefer it over AdWords. My client's experience have been the same.
