Hi

We have a swiss Ads website:
http://www.happyads.ch

The problem we seem to have is the time the individual Ad pages take to
appear on Google. Once they are there they usually seem to be well
positioned (at least for Switzerland) but the fact they take on average
about a week to appear on Google is a problem.

We thought that by using a Google Sitemap and setting the "changefreq"
to daily and the "priority" to 1 would mean that the pages would appear
immediately but that's not the case.

How could we improve this? If we had a higher PR would this get better?

By the way if anyone (with car, motorbike, real estate, holiday or job
websites) is interested in exchanging links with us we would be
interested.

Thanks

It almost always takes few days for the spidering and data propagation to
all datacenters. High PR pages with good links are usually spidered more
often (this part is more or less under your control), but the rest of the
process takes time and changes here are beyond us, mortals

Best,

Hi,

Getting spidered is one thing. Appearing in the indices across all
datacentres is another. While you could lower the latency on the former
(e.g. XML site maps, pinging services), you could rarely ever affect the
latter factor. The only exception I can think of are news services. That is
why, whenever I seek a piece of information that was published a few days
ago, I use Google/Yahoo News without hesitance.



I have no car, I have no motorbike, I own no house, I have not taken a
vacation since Christmas and I recently resigned from a job. Can I /still/
get a link please? Just in humorous spirit... *smile*

Hope it helps,

Roy

I am reluctant take vacations, but I still take them 3 times a year. I'm
going to the States for 2 weeks on April 5th. Conference in Washington, then
staying with the family in Florida over Easter. *smile*

Best wishes,

Roy

Roy, it's only March! When it's next March and you tell me you tell me
you haven't had a vacation since this Christmas, I may have a little
more pity! Possibly. :-)

Sounds ideal, Roy. Well, not so much the conference bit! Hope you have a
relaxing time.

You seem to be joking but if you were interested we'd be honoured to
exchange links with you (as well as with the other regular posters on
this newsgroup). However we thought the websites had to be related for
link exchanges to have an impact?

The reason we put "car, motorbike, real estate, holiday or job
websites" was to stop people working for pill or casino websites
coming. I'd say anyone who has put time and effort into his/her website
is welcome.
