Quick Yahoo Top Page Inclusion for Blog

[jay-currie]

In early April when the mesothelioma $100 a click story broke in the Wall Street Journal I wrote a piece for Tech Central Station. As part of that story I set up a blog called Mesothelioma Attorney at blogspot and put ad sense on. I submitted it to Yahoo! and Google on the same day and have been updating it since.

It took exactly ten days for Yahoo! to put the blog #10 on the top page for the search "mesothelomia attorney".

Which suggests two things: first, Yahoo is paying attention and its free submission is worth doing. Second, it is looking for fresh content.

So far nothing from Google.

In the spirit of fair disclosure, you might mention your post on April 12, 2004 on your blog: http://www.libraryfilter.blogspot.com/ site encouraging other blogger's to link to your page. It might have had a lot to do with helping propel that fast rise to the top in Yahoo.

I am trying a little spider attracting experiment over at my personal blog. If you have a blog it would be great for the experiment if you linked to my Mesothelioma post. And if you see the magic word, Mesothelioma, give it a whack.

I've been studying blogs being listed in the search engines, and find this most interesting. Do you know how many other sites linked to your post?

So far a I know only two blogs put up a link. However, both of those were links inside posts and those seem to help.
