I was never really sure but now I can say with confidence that i believe Google is tuned into the RSS feeds of the internet, and indexing pages syndicated throught the RSS. Nobody is linking to me on this site form what I know, yet 3 days after this blog was started I was indexed in Google an dranking for my blg title and my headlines. This means Google must have found me through my syndicated RSS feed. Another thing I noticed is that since Im hositng this blog on the subdomain of a major bloghost, I am instantly out off the sandbox in Google. I am already ranking for my name Dan Kavanaugh, as well as SEO Pulse. Im glad to know I dont need to have domains that are years old to initially start getting traffic for terms that drive traffic. Next I will test the effectiveness of a blog search engine submission service known as Pingomatic. This blog will serve many useful testing purposes it turns out :]
