Hi Deb,
Thanks for this knowledge. I had a look at the dance, and the site is not listed anywhere there. I will wait and see, as you suggest.
Apart from Google, what are the other main search engines to worry about ranking on? I am assuming that if they are powered by Google then you just have to sort out Google and you will rank in these others too is this correct?
Sorry if these are really basic questions. I seem to be reading up loads on search engines and not really finding answers - its very frustrating.
Cheers, Gill

Hi Gill,
Without actually investigating his site, I can tell you this much. Google just went through a very large change in how they do things. It's taken approximately 6-8 weeks to complete, during which time pretty much all indexing was suspended. There is talk there will be no more deep crawls except for maybe one final one sometime after the current Google Dance. The Google Dance began just this morning, so the server updates are ongoing right now and take 3-5 days to complete. At this time all page ranking is in a fluctuating stage. Until the dance is over nobody can count on their sites ranking anywhere. Everyone is just waiting it out, many holding their breath. My best suggestion to you is not to do anything for a week or so, and then investigate his ranking again and go from there. The improvements they attempted to incorporate should benefit us all, as updating will take place more often and more regularly is my understanding.
Deb
