freshbot came by and updated my index page. Now if i do a search which includes one particular word I added my site comes up with the freshbot date but no dmoz listing or description. If I do another search with different keywords it comes up with the dmoz there plus the description. I never saw this before and am just curious

My freshbot weirdness is that when my index page carries the tag and for a couple of days after, the index doesn't appear unless I hit the Google search button twice. This happens to me on www2/3, Yahoogle and other browsers/systems also, so is not at my end. One of my hypotheses is that it wasn't picking up my DMOZ listing. I have repeatedly raised this issue here, but nobody has come up with an explanation.

In any event, for me I think the freshbot intermittently returns a lower-powered result than the regular "stable" page.

You sound lucky, Freshbot takes me from the top 10 (at update) in SERP's to like position 100. I am a new site, indexed to some degree Jan update, not even sure exactly what is indexed from my site. How do I check what is indexed?

And when does the freshbot stop tossing me around in SERP's? When will I get stable in a position? I have great inbound links, but none show up yet on link: check in google. I assume when they start showing up, I should become more stable. I have only PR0 now, so I'm sure that makes me unstable as freshbot crawls after the update and sees pages with more PR.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Also, I forgot to mention that only [mysite.com...] has PR0. [mysite.com...] is grey bar still. Can anyone explain that to me, and what I can expect to see next update?
