Verily I say Google’s sitemap service is extremely effective in getting your site indexed. Now getting it ranked, that’s another story.
One month ago site:levingar.com yielded 47 pages (if I recall, didn’t take a screengrab). Today 2,590. Some of the default descriptions for the index pages predate the tweaks I made to the veryplaintxt theme to make it a bit more seo friendly, but the vast majority are correct.
That was a fun little experiment.
