Google is neat
August/16/2007: I’ve installed WordPress 8 days ago on this brand new domain.
August/17/2007: I’ve submitted an XML sitemap to Google.
August/18/2007: I’ve (somewhat hidden) linked to this domain from my old blog.
August/23/2007: Ms. Googlebot has crawled 749 pages from this blog, 9 pages made it in the Web search index so far.

Considering the number of results for this search term I think my #4 spot is not too bad, although it’s purely based on BlitzIndexing and certainly not to stay for long. The same post from my old blog ranks #22 for this search, probably caused by its link (via a 301 redirect script) to the new URL.
Interestingly the search query URL in my referrer stats is too clean, it lacks all the gimmicks Google adds when one searches with a browser. So who did that to alert me on the indexing? Thanks for choosing such a neat search term!
