The advice to website clients is always: " please be patient - the internet takes its own sweet time". It can take weeks for new content to register on the search engines or even press releases to register with relevant journalists.
But with your own site you can't help but look. We know the search engine robots come round regularly - what is not always so obvious is how long the they take to respond to the content.
Our object lesson this weekend is to find our new Joplin page well ranked for the obvious keywords within a few days of launch on Yahoo but nowhere else. Perhaps we just struck lucky with their schedule or they have nosed ahead of Google for update response times. Google have just updated their cache of our index page after six weeks, they pick up these blog pages pretty promptly but they still haven't registered the Joplin page. One or two of these blog pages even rank on of our more obscure keyword targets on Yahoo but not Google.
Today's streaming sample is one of the girls - a lofi clip from Antoinette by Scott Joplin and if you like it you can buy and download the complete HiFi file for just 0.99$(US) at the Joplin page.
