I have a website called Nina's Pillow Designs, and I thought that all the designing and optimization for my wesbite was not working and I got very frustrated. But, 5 months later, after help from these forums and its posters, my website has finally made it onto a relatively competitive keyword (Decorative Pillows). It's on page 7 right now, but its better than not being listed at all. Its also beginning to be listed under some other popular pillow keywords too. And so my work is starting to get results and it feels great.
So for those always wondering where is your pagerank or listing in Google, just be patient. One day it will pop up. Just stick to optimizing your website and you will be rewarded one day. (Not going to be soon though)
I hope this gives hope to some of you.
