Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Yep - crawls are at intervals. If you go to opensiteexplorer you'll see "Last Index Update: Oct. 8th 2012" (or whichever other date it is. We all have to be patient. I'm also waiting for one of my sites to show the latest changes. For a current client who wants changes by peak season in December - January, I'm already rolling out changes now. Good luck

You're welcome. **I figured as much but was hoping there might be a few onsite things I could do. ** I think that is a common pattern.  On site is easier, so we all tend to look for it.  Even when we really know that the answer is "lots of hard link building to do now" we tend to look for other answers.  You don't have to be a noob to fall in to that trap!
