I used to think that Yahoo and MSN liked me more than Google. Of course it was true. Just look at the first 2 months of this chart showing how many visitors to my site were referred by the big 3 search engines:
After a magic 6 months (almost to the day) things changed. Now Google thinks I'm great and the other search engines continue nearly unchanged. The message for anyone seeking to optimize their site and get google traffic is to be patient. It looks like your rankings increase if you can make it through the first 6 months. Of course, the timing could just be coincidence but it is clear that something changed.

Apparently that's normal for Google, they almost ignore you for the first six month and then start taking you serious. I guess you have to build credibility with them and one of the aspects is that you're still around after six months
