I hear you. Although my sites all went to pr 3 and my indexed pages went to pr3 it didn't mean shit to se results, as i figured they wouldn't.
I am glad however that my dick grew a couple inches and mixed with some new links my se results will hopefully continue to grow with my traffic.
Overall i am EXTREMELY happy with what i have considering my sites are about 4 or 5 months old.
Now, if there is a sandbox or age penalty which it seems there is, i cant wait to see what i have in another three months when my sites age as well as trust level increases more.
