    So why do you think rankattack had anything to do with it? Or what do you think rankattack did that made any difference?

    well, I registered it with godaddy, and pointed it to another page I built on another domain I own (I didn't get the hosting yet) I ran rankattack 3 days ago, and it now is indexed in Google. I have not promoted it anywhere else yet (although I did put up a link in my sig yesterday, after I noticed it was listed) 411-voip.com

    This "new domain" actually points to a page on an older domain that has a number of backlinks (www.ezdrivingdirections.com). Since that other domain is already indexed, Google would spider it as www.ezdrivingdirections.com/voip.html which is indeed the URL that shows up in my browser when I go to www.411-voip.com.

    Even for the 411-voip.com url, there are about 10 references to that are showing in Google, from two blogs and from what looks like referrer spam...

    I'm not sure what if anything rankattack did.

    Could be "referrer spam" (what is that?) I don't have any interneal links to that page, and there is no link back to 411-voip.com, so it must be. The software reports that it attemps to place links back to your site to increase it's popularity. Maybe that is what it did.

    I think that getting listed by Google is just a question of simple SEO. And it needs no special software.

    For example, for my new site, all search engine boosting I've made was just adding link to it from one of my PR5 sites that was visited by Google once a day. In the next day Google came to me and in 2-3 weeks it was doing about 1K hits on the resource daily. Today, after 2 months, Google bots are simply bothering me - Google bot and Adsense bot together are doing 7-8K hits daily and PR is already 6. I think the site is already indexed several times, but they seem to think different :)

    I cannot even say that the site had some perfect SEO. Except simple rewrite rules for SEO-friendly URLs I can remembre nothing more special. So, I do not understand the use of some additional software.:confused: I think if you cannot build resource that Google will like, no software will help you.
