Moving on

I finished working on my site, at least 99% of it. The link is here. Google crawled my site 2 days ago, and today six of my pages are indexed. Unfortunately the old version of the site is indexed and not all the meta tags are there, but i guess this is the price to pay if you want to test stuff. I am curious how long is going to take before Google will change those old pages with the new ones.

Yesterday i added the site in Google, Yahoo and MSN and uploaded the site map for the first two. I wonder when will MSN step in the new era ...
By the way, GSite Crawler seems to be a very decent free tool for generating site maps and not only. I appreciate that they release a lot of new patches.

By this time the site isn't indexed in Yahoo and MSN. I'll wait and see how much is going to take now that i added the URL by hand.

Mean time i'll keep submitting it in different web directories and vortals related to my content.

Indexing errata

In my previous post i said that my site has been online for over 2 months, without adding the URL in any Search Engines, and no indexing untill now, but it seems that yesterday i got a visit from famous the googlebot. It came looking for my robots.txt file, that wasn't there, and then went straight to my index.html file.

I suppose that i was granted the honor of being crawled by Google because of this blog and the ping option. The link to my site, that is present in my first post, must have sent google there.

I also heard that using the ping option for this blog could get it indexed in 48 hours, max. 5 days, but untill now it hasn't been indexed in any search engine. I guess i'll wait and see, if i get no results by the end of this week i'll add the URL in Google, Yahoo and MSN.

working, working, working

I've been working on the content of my website for over 2 months now. It's not that easy to provide quality content and optimize each major section of the site for a set of keywords at the same time.

The site has been online for more than two months now, though it is in a very beta version, most of the content was there. I was curious if any of the SEs would index my site in this time, without adding the URL, but no indexing 'till now.

After i finish with the more techy stuff on the site i'm going to design a corporate blog with WordPress 2.1 i am curious about the new features that they implemented.
