Okay, I’m officially flummoxed. I’ve been sand-boxed, sand-bagged, sand-blasted, quick-sanded and burnished to the Olde World Glow of Burled Walnut: My searches<\/a> are back<\/a>, kindasorta. Not as many results as I had before, and not the same sequence. The heavy-hitter on “214 South 122nd Av” is BloodhoundBlog, but my reference to “214 South 122nd Av” on our listings page<\/a> is nowhere to be found so far.<\/p>\n

This might confound our friends at Free The Drones, who ferry us across the desert sands to The Google Sandbox Revisited<\/a>. My take for now: A link to a custom weblog from BloodhoundBlog is probably more findable than building the website as a subfolder on our main website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Google findability doesn’t matter to me as much as the “Wow!” factor of a custom website\/weblog, but, from a completely useless one-off sample, linking from a weblog to anything else is findable faster than building anything into a static website. Next time out, I’ll register the new site at Technorati and cross-link from the new weblog to BloodhoundBlog to see if we can make things happen even faster.<\/p>\n

For now: I concede. All of this was very quick, less than seven days so far. But Free The Drones has done better than I have at predicting events. My hat is off.<\/p>\n

Further notice:<\/i><\/b> By one standard, the new weblog isn’t really findable yet: Even though it’s been splogged at least twice now, there have been no spam comments yet…<\/p>\n

Further further notice:<\/i><\/b> Now everything we were seeing a few days ago is back — but still nothing from my listings page…
