Failed – I am Devastated
I am devastated. After all of the effort to make sure that the Callow Car Care website was listed in the search engines in time for their radio adverts that start today, they are not on either Google, which visited the site on Saturday morning, or MSN, which visited Friday morning.
I have experienced the MSN search engine, or Bing as it now is called, being a little slower to update. But I was sure that Google would be listing the site on time, it has worked so many times in the past. Usually there is a Google visit Thursday or Friday night to Janric, which is followed by a visit to the new site over the weekend and a listing appears Monday night, as if by magic.
A couple of times I have seen this delayed, by up to a week. Usually when a large page rank update is just around the corner. Maybe it is a sign. Or maybe it is just Google being Google and going at a different rate to what I have seen it do in the past. I suppose there is no reason why it has to go to the same schedule forever. There is not a contract there that says it has to!
So now I wait. No joyous email that the site is on Google and everyone who hears the local radio station’s advert calendar and Callow’s advert today and then searches for them on Google will in fact find a business directory listing, not the new website we have worked so hard to get live. Every page of it is there and ready to go. Just no search engines register that it exists and they are not sending visitors to out lovely new site.
Shame. Maybe tomorrow.
