I submitted my site in its infancy of about 20 pages to start a bit of aging and splitting my time between more quality content and developing better SEO.

It’s been a couple days since I submitted to about 10 engines including Google and am still waiting for indexing. I struggled with Google and my sitemap. I solved the problem this evening by figuring out that even though they are looking for a sitemap.html the really mean sitemap.xml.

I hope that helps someone else.

Now, here are the next two hurdles.
1. still not listed when searching site.mydomainname.com (with mydomainname being generic)
2. Below are the most common keywords Google found when crawling your site.
1. categories
2. business
3. arts
4. basketball
5. biology
6. computers
7. games
8. health
9. main
10. menu
11. recreation
12. reference
13. science
14. search
15. shopping
16. sports

Where did these come from? Not my site.

What are your thoughts??????

Thanks,
