SEO Buzz Box is a great site...thx
Getting listed is easy...staying there is a different story. Just keep publishing at regular intervals.
I've been told It's better to publish to the site a little at a time regardless of how much content you have ready to go. "organic growth" is the buzz-word. The site needs to remain active.
If you got results doing the opposite... so much for that theory.
I've watched my blog pages float up and down over the course of a few days...sometimes being above the fold sometimes on the bottom. The point is that google is becomming more "fluid" in it's rankings...especially foe new sites.
Besides it's the holidays so most in the states are focused on using the internet for that stuff.
Getting listed in a few days for a static site is pretty darn cool...that's a win as far as I'm concerned and lets hope Hamsters are big this Christmas season
