Boyd,

I've never submitted my sites to Google, but they always index them toot sweet -- because we are a Google Adwords advertiser.

I've read elsewhere that sites that participate in their Adwords program invariably get listed in Google in record time. Sure seems to work for us.

If you haven't already, open up an account and start a small $5 campaign with some obscure keyword that relates to your site, but which won't get many impressions. Then sit back & watch --

If you're not listed inside a month, I'll eat my hat.

Best Wishes,
Jim Erskine
