Posts on Google

I'm an old timer. It hasn't been that long ago that it was a real effort to get a page listed on a search engine. I remember having to enter meta tags, contacting a search engine to request that they look for you, and then waiting weeks to get listed - hoping the "crawler" would pick you up. I posted a comment the other day after noting that Google had picked up a post and had it listed in less than an hour. I checked yesterdays' post after fifteen minutes and it was already listed. After entering today's post, I went straight to Google and entered the title on the advanced search and hit the reload key every thirty seconds. It appeared at four and a half minutes. That's fast!
