I guess my real question was whether a post to a usenet or google group will make a spider or bot follow a link to its destination and index the page.
From my experiment that I have conducted, it doesn't seem like it does...
From what I can tell, there are at least 6 pages of entries where I can find mention of fractallinks.blogspot.com - all stemming from the original post that I made , but no actual entry for the site. Which makes me believe that either google recognizes that the links are coming from usenet groups and ignores them, or ignores the site due to content. I tend to think its the former, since I started adding legitimate content to my blog besides just a set of links...
I believe I will have to link to it from other places in order to see if the spider will index you properly.
thanks for the advice, though...
