I have a site that was launched in late June in the usual manner that I do it with a few well placed links on some other well indexed sites and then I sit back and wait for maybe a couple of months.

  9. When the Googlebot visits a page, it also takes a snapshot that is stored in Google's cache, a separate archive that lets users see how a page
