I know I should really know this, but...

...if your site has been crawled by Google, and you're showing in url:domain.com etc, does this mean you're in the SERPS completely? Or do they update at different times?

Meaning, will the positions I'm in now (not great, I'll tell yeh) stick until a PR update, or are they temporary until Google does it's next SERP update (if there's such a thing?).

Yes, kindergarten stuff I know, but I missed SERP 101 :p

SERP updates are pretty much continuous now.

Also remember PR updates (toolbar ones) are behind actual PR.

If you show up using site:domain.com, you are the Google index so should show up in SERPs... (somewhere :) )

Yeah, I am in some places... but was hoping for better results LOL At least I'm getting SOME clicks...

So, will my positions improve with PR updates? Or is that continuous too and I'm stuck where I am? ;)

[r2d2]

As toolbar PR updates are x weeks behind actual PR, the improvement based on any PR gain will have been in effect for a while before the toolbar PR update...

In my experience your placement should improve as you get well established in the SERPs.

Cool :) these are only new sites, so I've no idea if they have actual PR at the moment. We shall see :D

Thanks Mr T!
