It took me 10 days to get indexed on google with my most recent website. Also, for one of my keywords, which is however very low competition, I found myself on page 6 after 10 days. My strategy is to work my way up by first covering all the related low competition keywords. Would these be considered good results so far? Also MSN has already shown 11 backlinks when I use a backlink checker tool. Is this about average for your sites? BTW: I have read stories about sites being pulled from directories like DMOZ after using more adsense. Do you think google takes adsense code into account during a sites early days? Spammers would be more likely to have lots of adsense immediately upon creation. Possible?
