Progress report: sevenstring.org

I'll update this as time goes on.

Day one/Start:

Google: 63,800
Yahoo: 13,947
MSN: 191

After just one day installed, SEOMoz's page strength ranked me at 4, up from 3.

SEOmoz | Page Strength SEO Tool

5 Days:

Google: 63,500 (-300)
Yahoo: 47,513 (+33565)
MSN: 190 (-1)

SEOMoz has me down to a 3.5, but I believe it's because of my main page being dynamic, so the rank depends on which page it happens to get out of the random news posts in vBAdvanced.

PR3 Presently.

Is this backlinks or pages?

Pages.

As of today:

Google: 122,000 (+48,200)
Yahoo: 49,451 (+35,504)
MSN: 202 (+9)

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh baby! This is 1 good time to be DEEP in the red like yourself.

My site is PR6, PS6 so indexing is NO issue, I'm hoping this will help SERP's. Looks like it is working well for your site. All the continued success! (P.S This emoticon is awesome).

Slightly over a month now:

Google: 263,000
MSN: 214
Yahoo: 50,909

That's some results.

Hello Chris ,

Don't worry - your site is just new. My site is 3 years old and I have over half a million posts, and a lot of additional content outside of the forums to spider.

Monyet: You shouldn't be nervous - you have over 1,000 members. Now, you just need to keep them coming back and posting great content.

Chris-777: Excellent progress !

thanx, phew.. i'm really nerveous

Edit: Google has picked me back up.

I didn't get to read your message before you edited, but I'm glad that whatever you experienced with Google was a temporary issue.

Thanks Joe. It's beginning to sort itself out anyway.

Back on 6/10/2007:

:\ Today:

Results 1 - 10 of about 667 from sevenstring.org.

I don't know if it's because my vbseo_sitemap somehow got corrupted, or some other obscure reason, but up until I fixed my sitemap, for the last month or so I was summarily dropped from Google altogether, and the only pages it would show were very old, cached pages.

After a sitemap fix and a just-for-good-measure temporary opening up of my robots.txt to just about everything, Google's started crawling me again and though my index is about 1% of what it used to be, at least the content is current.

No idea what happened really.
