Google is a curious beast ... that much is certain! There can also be some considerable time delay before indexing is cached. There is also a possibility that the URLs are too long and have query strings. To be sure (as possible with google) use a short url hack such as from Kenogui and others. This reduced url size and removes query strings from addresses.

I assume you waited for the new words to be spidered? Silly question..

I have a test site, I have one test forum with only a few test words in it i.e.

Welcome to the XOOPS support forum

I typed that in google search and I am 6th in the list that appeared, it even states the user name and the reply with a quote.

This is incredible really, I never realised XOOPS was so brilliant in google, practicaly every word on my test site is indexed?

If users reading this post have a site that has been google indexed try selecting a line or two of text and paste it in google search and see the results. You might be amazed!
