In following the progress of Exclusive Escapes on Google, I've noticed a few days delay between the reported cache by Google and the availability of the cache page.

Exclusive escapes was cached on 14th April 2006.

I have been checking everyday to follow the sites progress and today (20th April 2006) was the first time the cache was available.

Google Analytics has shown referrals by this website, MSN and, strangely, Wikipedia, although I can find no reference in Wikipedia.

I am going to start tracking the rankings and incoming links for Exclusive Escapes - South West Holiday properties using WebCEO to monitor it's progress.

Exclusive Escapes

This is a little experiment to see how long my new website Exclusive Escapes takes to be first found, indexed, cached and finally ranked by Google.

The website isn't actually ready yet, but while we are working on it's content and layout I have put up a "coming soon" page. My theory is that the sooner something occupies the space on the server at www.exclusiveescapes.com.au, the sooner Google will notice something new. The page I have uploaded has META Keywords, Description and the content, although very short at present, contains the main keywords we will be targeting.

This, I believe indicates that Google has at least found the page.

Well, that's as far as it has got at present, I intend to follow it's progress and document it here to see how long it takes to get cached ranked and ultimately how it's PR progresses, I will also be including results from Live PR as it will update far more regularly than Google's main PR figure.
