One thing to note though is that it can take up to a month for Google's database to notice the new reviews.

That's very good, Alex! I also tried searching for that game you mentioned like this "Microprose Formula One" - Classicamiga was the first result.

It's true what you say about Google. We'll have plenty of time to add reviews, screenshots and the likes. Guess March can become a busy month for the site.

Keep up the good work guys!

The reason it can sometimes take a month is because the Search engine bots/spiders normally only revisit sites once a month to prevent duplicate entries in their databases, and also the site server also sends it's automated search engine submissions once a month, which generally prompts the search engine bots to visit the site and look for new content.

The new entries each month are also picked up more quickly due to the site Google Site Map that is sent, as this automatically gives the search engine the direct urls of all the new pages on the site, so when compared against last months Google Map it knows which areas of the site are new and which pages need to be looked at by the search bots/spiders.

It is great to see such recent entries as F1 being logged so highly in the search results, and when I did the search just now it also appeared 3rd, although it is technically second as the second link is a sublink to the first entry in the results. Another thing that is great is that this search is for a complete global web search, not a UK only search, which is even better.

Did you all also notice that exotica, Wikipedia and hall of light were all a lot lower in the results than CA.

It's so cool to think that entries in both the game and demo sections are now starting to return search engine hit results so highly already.

Great work everyone.

Yep, imagine the bandwidth usage if it checked more regularly.

Yep, almost. I think that section T has almost the same amount of games than section P, but section S will be a lot of work still to do.
