Here's another. I'm wondering how to find out if Google has indexed my site. I looked at my cPanel stats and it's showing that the 'Googlebot' and 'Yahoo' have paid me a visit. Is this any indicator? Forgive that question. I'm such a noobie. 
No more excuses

Yep, you are there
use the site: operator to see how many pages are indexed in google
Even better idea, download SEOquake ... it gives you lots of stats like backlinks, indexed pages, whois, ... as you surf.
So is that good for a noobie to be indexed already? I'm going to say it is. So when I put it in my ebook about getting indexed I can be nice and convincing!
By the way, anyone want to buy my ebook on getting indexed in less than 10 days or your money back? Only 500 Dinars! hahahaha
Also, I've started compiling a list of things I've learned on WF. I'm going to start a thread for all the noobies to add to as they learn stuff.

I've always uploaded mine to /putlic_html/ never had a problem. You'll see that the files in that folder and /www/ are the same.
Hope that helps.
Hope that helps.
Another quick one - why does my uploaded file - with updates not show when i look at in a browser?

It's a cache problem. I hit "go" instead of "refresh" when developing and it works for me 99% of the time. If not, here's a clear cache button as a firefox addon.
I have heard that some CMS have an internal caching "feature". I'm sure if you post what flavor of CMS you use someone will be able to direct you here. Sadly, it won't be me ... I prefer homegrown sites.
Iraqi Dinars? I've got a million of them in a lock box just in case their shit ever gets together ... today's value is about $850 USD. I figure A> they've got lots of oil & B> the USD is going down the shitter ... It will hopefully turn out well in a decade or so.
Thanks Erect
Still not working - is there a lag between uploading and new pages showing? I am uploading files just to the public_html folder is that the only place i should upload to?
Its frustating not to see updates going live

Is it a CMS you are using (wordpress, joomla, etc)?
Test to make sure you are uploading the right file to the right folder by deleting the file then refresh in firefox .. should get a 404 or other "include" errors. I'll often be editing 3-4 files at a time and take for granite I uploaded the correct php file but instead keep uploading a css one or whatever, so the changes never show ... doh
ok its working now... we'll see how it goes. Thanks Erect.
Just to update everyone and to ask for opinion. I have used my LP as the template for all my other pages. I have given each page a title, description and Kw tag relating to that page. Am i in danger of getting indexed with dupe content before i can add unique content - should i pull them all down again?

You could do worse then check these out if your using Wordpress.
Get those here at http://www.pinkapplemacbook.com/plugins.zip
Now I'm just looking for content, pages.
I have a huge ping list that I'll update after this.
Oh yeah, also if your using Wordpress id recommend changing the Permalink structure by:
Settings -> Permalinks -> Custom Structure
"/%category%/%postname%"
without the quotes.
Okay, back to work. Thanks guys. Also would appreciate some feedback on my layout.
Cheers.

Content is easy.
The most important thing is constant updating.
Every 2 days seem to work fine (don't sweat it if you leave out a day).
The best method is to batch the updating.
Make use of the future post feature in Wordpress, it is gold.
Say you want your blog to update every 2 days, you just sit down and write 3 short posts and date them to publish in the future. This will take you less than an hour, including pictures, etc...
Tadaa, you are done for a week!
There is a plugin that shows a calendar for this

When writing the pink iphone posts, I found that this worked fine:
- Ads on top and sidebar of the site.
- Underneath each entry, I added a short marketing spiel as well:
Be the envy of all your friends!
Get your free pink iphone here. <--- Obviously linked to offer.
I varied this, so it was actually part of the post.

Can I get these for my plug ins for my site if i am not using WP. Im in the 7th circle of hell with Dreamweaver at this stage.
Any ideas on where i could source content i could rewrite for glittergrafix - emp, you seem to be the man when it comes to content. Can I use the future post feature to auto update a site I have built in DW?
Again thanks everyone for the help so far.
My site so far (glittergrafix.info) - Glitter Graphics - FREE!
Cheers
Dave
The future post plugin just SHOWS you when you have posts scheduled.
As for content:
Searh for stuff related to your page.
Google this:
Glitter graphics
Glitter myspace
Glitter facebook
How to add grafx to myspace page
Grafx for myspace
..
etc, etc...
Reword it halfassedly and put it up.

G has cached my page - does that mean it now appears somewhere in SERPs? Is there a way to check rankings for particular keywords?
