The good news is ...

marathon session paid off

Although I don't get fresh dates anymore (not since my site "came back" last Feb), gbot does crawl constantly and add new and updated pages sans the fresh date.

On the 9th I got one of those light bulb moments and decided to create a whole new section on my site using lots of stuff I'd created over the last two years for private customers. My idea was to put this up in a new section and call it something like "ideas".

Spent two all nighters creating/modifying new pics and over 50 pages. Added a new link to the nav table and uploaded it all on the 11th.

Last night I got back from a late night session of bridge and decided to check my stats before bed. Wow - discovered a fantastic surprise! :)

There were many of those new pages showing up in positions 1-5 on SERPs ranging between 1.3M and 50K.

Yeah, I know that even though I'm not getting fresh tagged these may disappear in a couple of days, but I'm still happy and not missing those MIA green bars :)

Thanks Googlebot!
