If you click on the search engines links today, you will see the number is more or less the same at 52 - 54 indexed pages except MSN. It is still at 1 page only! It took MSN quite some time till they indexed my site. I don’t understand why.

I highly recommend the Instant Blog & Ping software and use it with your own WordPress PHP blogging script. Just take a look at my WordPress blog Vincent’s Blog & Ping Experiments and you’ll see over 200 entries to my blog. That’s all automated using the Instant Blog & Ping software.

I moved my blog and ping blog to its own web site by purchasing a cheap .info domain name. You could get a .info domain name as low as $1.99 per year. I just wanted a seperate place for my blogging and pinging activities.
