Progress Report: PigskinHeaven.com

Pre-Install, July 13, 2008

Google: 3,610
Yahoo: 90,883
MSN: 1,630

It's been roughly 48 hours, and here's where we're at.

Google: 3,610
Yahoo: 85,942
MSN: 1,630

Yahoo's dipping because (from what I can tell with Site Explorer) they had a large number of dead pages of ours from older parts of the site that no longer exist, but that's a good thing. They're crawling our site pretty consistently now.

I'll continue to update this weekly to see where it goes. Looks promising though!

Looking forward to seeing how everything changes in 2 to 4 weeks.

Indeed, our registration numbers have been way down over the last two years, so I'm excited to see any progress in that regard.

One week update...

One week in...

Google: 4,730
Yahoo: 101,132
MSN: 1,860

These numbers seem to fluctuate a lot though, Yahoo was at around 76,000 this morning when I checked, now it's back up over 100,000...thought that was strange. Still, Google's a huge improvement over where we were a week ago.

flucuations are good. it means they are seeing your new links and adding and throwing out he old crap. a couple more weeks and things will settle down some

Ok, this is roughly three weeks now...

Google: 9,020
Yahoo: 99,315
MSN: 303

Still not much in the way of an uptick of visits from SE sources, and my numbers are off there because of a few members who Google us every day and visit that way.

Check this out. There could be a few improvements in there that could help encourage faster growth:
Your Site Review - Stuff to Do First

I'm showing an error when I try to generate our sitemap...I installed it with the default settings for the folders, CHMODed the directory, and it's showing the fwrite on lines 497 and 500 as invalid streams. Any ideas?
