Good SE placements isn't something you can just get at the snap of a finger. It takes a lot of time, patience and observation.

while we're on the topic of SEO - is making a network where every site links to your main site black hatting?

Ok...come on, say this so I can understand...lol

"is making a network where every site links to your main site black hatting?"

Network...what?
black...is that a color?
hatting...not sure...are you making up words again?

Just joking...take none of the above for real...just saying please type so that I can understand...lol

WHAT??????????????????????????????

Hi Barryobrien
I'm assuming you submitted your site to about 150 different search engines and directories? Included in that submission was yahoo, google, msn?
It can take a minimum of 12 weeks but I've seen it take as long as 9 months for google to pick up a properly submitted website. My advice is always "be patient". There is no exact science in my opinion and patience is the key.
MSN in my experience has not taken nearly as long with yahoo falling somewhere in the middle.
Don't forget www.dmoz.org

Thanks For That
