Welcome to my journal. This is where I'll be revealing my innermost thoughts and feelings to the world. Occasionally I'll talk about other stuff, but mostly about my experiences.
Mar 19, 2002: Google Bombing? (link | trackback: 0)
Time: 17:28 - Mood: Happy - Location: Work - Now playing: n/a
Arg!
Sorry, I didn't realise just how long it's been since I wrote my last journal entry. I guess I'll have to update you as to what's been happening, from most recent to least:
Firstly, you may well have heard of the fun exercise called Googlewhacking. This is where you take two words and put them into Google, in the hopes of getting only 1 result. No quotes allowed. :)
Well, there's a new thing out there - Google Bombing. This is where loads of people (typically bloggers like myself) create a link to a site using the same title/keywords - the outcome being that Google pushes that page up higher in the search results for those keywords.
You see, Google doesn't just order the sites according to the frequency of keywords on a site - among other things, it also analyses the number of pages which link to it, and the text that they use for the link. This means that if a whole load of people were to link to this blog with the words "Neverending Blog", I might possibly rise to the #1 spot for those search term, with no effort from me required. This is the whole idea behind Google Bombing.
I find that link quite interesting, actually. It's a very extensive resource on what exactly Google Bombing is, and its implications. Go read it. Now. :)
Okay, I did say that I had multiple things to say, right? :) Second thing is I've come across a cool site called RinkWorks. More specifically, I've come across RinkChat, the web-based chat system that (IMHO) is the heart of the site.
It really is a cool community there. Nyperold, Silon, Darien - if any of you (or anybody else) are reading this, then hi! :-D
Right, that's enough... more later. Honest. :)
