It is depressing. I agree it takes between 6months and a year. Some of the less popular keywords ranked my site in a about 6 months, but the popular keywords took about a year. Though once a year is pasted it is easier to rank well for new keywords.

Good luck. I run an online advertising site. I have to drive traffic to my site, so that my members benefit. -.I simply have to pay for a good few months. Expensive. But hey thats business. Getting a good listing in Google is like getting a TV ad at little or no cost. So patience is worth it.

With my new site - I purchased my domain and set up a basic page months before I start working on it.
