		<description>Grizz,

Thanks for the analysis. This is exactly the kinda thing(s) I neeeded to know / hear. And as fond as I am of the name :D I think it would be better to find a new one and try again. 

BTW, I did add the post on jtrigsby AFTER the posts on bear nose, just FYI.

thanks again

		<description>Hi Thom,

There are a few problems but the good news is that the adsense bot has crawled you correctly and given you relevant ads (such as they are. lol)

Possible problems;

Because your other site used the term your new site won't qualify for fast indexing - Google didn't need it as it has a relevant result for the query elsewhere (your other site). Did you link to it before or after you tried the quick index trick?

Either way you have a few bigger problems - you made 3 posts in less than an hour all with the same keyword phrases. This is bad on it's own (for a new site) but your keyword density is way too high and you are definitely in keyword stuffing territory - not good.

Your biggest problem is that you have outbound links on the page - never do this with a new blog until you are indexed. This will send up spam flags instantly - this used to be how people abused blogger as a link farm. On top of all this I ran a check on your links and the sites you linked too have questionable links of their own - 4 links point to drug/pharmacy sites in their anchor text. Huge spam problem with this - guilt by association from Google's point of view. The solution is to remove all your outbound links.

Lastly - while your adsense is working you should never monetize a site until after you get indexed. Take the adsense off for now.

I assume this was just a test to try out the quick index trick. If you intend to use this as a real site then make the changes I suggested but you may be in for a bit of a wait to get indexed now. I would delete the blog all together and start over though - because you made a few too many errors salvaging this blog will be an uphill battle that really isn't worth the work.

Sorry for the bad news but try it again with a different term. 1 post only and keep your keywords to a minimum. Title, header, couple of times in the post - that's all you need.

Good luck.</description>

		<description>Vic, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Grizz, did that (find=yes) when I set up the blog. I also added a post to one of my other blogs that linked to the new blog. The previously existing blog now shows up in results (number 1 btw), but not the new one. Does it just take time?

the new one is canbearspicktherenose.blogspot.com keyword phrase "can bears pick there nose"

All help (and great blog) appreciated!

		<description>They need to toggle "Yes" under Settings - Basics - Let search engines find your blog? = YES.

That should do it - pinging is automatic after that.</description>
