12 Jan 2004: This may be a quiet month for Imps! since there are many other deadlines to meet. Some new imps are evolving and will gain wings soon...

Work continues on plots and storyboards.

16 Jan 2004: Searching www.google.com for 'imps.tv' brings up this site's home page for the first time - top! The site was submitted to google.com just ten days ago.

Google.co.uk does the same unless the search is limited to pages from the UK, at which point it only finds links from my main site at www.jednet.co.uk and .mac homepages. This might resolve in time, but as a safety measure the site has just been submitted to google.co.uk. Searching just for 'imps' found this site at number 125, a reasonable start point but much to do to achieve a position on the first page of any Google search. AltaVista, Lycos and the Open Directory at dmoz.org are next...

Please link to this site - it may help to improve search rankings. Let us know when you do and we can return the favour.

PS
March 2004 imps.tv disappeared from Google completely along with our PageRanking - Google's monthly re-ranking 'Googledances' are fickle and frustrating.
July 2004 sees us back top for 'imps.tv' and listed 34 for 'imps'.
By August it was very clear that Google disliked the way www.imps.tv redirected to the free hosting at southsurf.com (which we were outgrowing anyway). Imps was on the same server as jednet.co.uk - the many crosslinks made it seem to Google that it was part of a spam 'linkfarm'. Thank you to Tom at www.goskar.com for offering us space on his liquidsix.com hosting - within the week Google.com presented us top for 'imps.tv' and 29 for just 'imps'.
