update and question

I used your service in Feb and then got off track by working on twitter for a long time this summer. Big mistake! I started back and now have added 12 more articles to my site. I have added then at the rate of more than one page a day. When I check my search engine report I see that only my index site is listed by all the engines and the rest of the pages aren't listed yet.
The question is What is a realistic expectation of time from the when the page gets sent in by SBI until it gets listed?

is there anything I can do to excellerate the process?

Answer
Henry, there is no "norm" when it comes to search engines. They do things in their own time. Your best bet to get listed quickly is to follow the Action Guide, especially the part about setting up your sitemap with Google et al. Also do some deep linking to the new pages and they may get found sooner.

Be sure, too, that you have requested an updated SEHQ report. You might be looking at old numbers.

If you've seen my posts in the Forums, you know that posting is one my favorite hobbies, and I've got -- well -- a lot now. The following post is my personal favorite. It actually was sent to me by my cousin, who has no idea at all that thousands of people have seen it here.

When people ask me whether to dash or not to dash their website, I usually give the example of "www.seniorsexpress.com" vs. "senior-sex-press.com" or "seniors-express.com". But I like these even better:

These are not made up. Check them out yourself!

1. Who Represents is where you can find the name of the agent that represents any celebrity. Their Web site is www.whorepresents.com

2. Experts Exchange is a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at www.expertsexchange.com. You've GOT to take a look at their favicon (the little picture in the browser bar)!

3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at www.penisland.net

4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at www.therapistfinder.com

5. The First Cumming Methodist Church Web site changed from cummingfirst.com to cummingfirstmethodist.com . Mmmm. Wonder why.

6. And the designers at Speed of Art await you at their wacky Web site, www.speedofart.com

Cheers!
