| Feb 24, 2014 at 3:00 | comment | added | jerivas | Hey @jmort253, I just wanted to add that I went with the "wait for a while" route because the search results page is very volatile right now. In a couple of days my site has dropped several positions already without intervention, so it seems a little patience will go a long way with newly created sites. | |
