WordPress 2.5.1 not getting indexed by google

I have so far upgraded 2 WordPress blogs today, made a post afterwards, pinged google, but neither has been indexed in blog search yet.

Prior to upgrading to WordPress 2.5.1 a new post would be indexed in google blog search within 2 minutes, this is a 3rd upgrade to see if this post gets picked up.

Update: Obviously not a WordPress problem, this post was picked up within a minute.

What is linkbaiting

 I was having a discussion the other day with some mates in the pub who wondered what exactly it was I did.

They knew I worked from home doing webwork, but most thought that meant I just sold things on ebay!!

I tried to explain that I was an SEO and that I built websites with the intention of them appearing high in the search engines, but this went straight over their heads.

I then started talking about the tactics used to get these rankings and other ways of generating traffic even when the rankings weren’t as high as needed, again this went straight over their heads.

When I moved on to talking about keyword research, content writing, link building, referrer spamming and linkbaiting the blank looks made me realise I was wasting my time trying to explain any further.

The next time when I tell someone I do webwork and sell online, they ask if I am on ebay, I think I’ll just nod and say yes.

Sim64 back from the brink?

After being AWOL for 2 years Sim64 suddenly appeared in the SERPS again this evening. Whether it is just temporary, or whether all filters have been lifted time will tell.
