I created a new blog about 2 1/2 weeks ago in the natural health niche. I have posted to it almost daily, and I am shocked to find that it is not yet indexed by google. Very interesting.
I have submitted the site to many social networking and bookmarking sites. I have claimed it on Technorati. I made some comments on several PR4-6 blogs. I ping with each post, but it’s still not indexed! What’s going on here?
The most recent websites I created were indexed in about 3 days. The 2 differences I can identify are that those sites have adsense on them, and I used Article Underground’s blog system to announce the pages.
I haven’t done either of those with this site. Actually, I chose to let go of Article Underground because I wasn’t taking advantage of it often enough to make the program worth the subscription cost. Instead I wanted to try out a couple other link building plans instead. (Whether I stick with those or not remains to be seen.) But I’m definitely revisiting my decision to drop AU and just may sign up again.
I also didn’t want adsense on the blog, but I’m going to put a block on there now to see what happens. I can always take it off in a couple weeks.
That’s all for now. Have a good one!
