Just a quick note on the search engine status of my new site. It has been one month and 7 days since I launched my new site. I have been steadily looking for tournaments to add and have been requesting links to the site as time allows. My traffic broke the 200 per day visitor threshold yesterday. People are starting to find us.

MSN is still leading the pack of referrals with 63% of the search engine traffic. All pages of the site have been listed.

Yahoo is starting to catch up with 29% of the search engine traffic. They still don’t list all my pages. Deep linking is clearly the key to getting the pages indexed quicker. Below I will list a few more pages that are not yet listed and in a few days voila they are listed. Blogs are the way to go……..

Google is an out of the park third with only 3% of my search traffic. The only keywords that work are individual tournament names. The sitemap is spidered frequently and the pages are updated in cache frequently. This has taught me to change my search habits. I no longer rely only on google for search results. You are missing out on lots of newer sites that need to sit in the sandbox for an extended time before you will find it in Google. With the multitude of new sites created every day, you could really be missing out.

AOL search comes in 4th with 1%
DMOZ, 5th with .07%
Altavista and Dogpile tied for 6th with .03%

Below are some of the soccer tournament pages that are currently not listed in Yahoo:

Hawaii Soccer Tournaments

Louisiana Soccer Tournaments
