This search engine business is tough. I have several small sites under my main site. I noticed I could only get one site at a time in, so I wrote. They said they needed to change my url to an isp so that the robot would allow more than one listing. I now get more than one listing, however, I've noticed that when I add a new page, all the old pages are dropped and all that shows up is the new ones. My next step is to sit down and list all my sites at once and see what happens. As far as getting these pages to actually be found, that's another story with no rhyme or reason to it. Sometimes they get found, most times they're buried. Good luck!
