No 1 on google

[ Aug 31 2006, 16:02 ]

... again. If only I could do the same with a few other sites.

http://www.camwebdir.co.uk/, for example, has been sitting quietly for quite some time now waiting for good ol' Google to recognise that there are in fact quite a few links to the website and not just the single solitary one that shows up in the search engine's cache.

Links into a website have historically had quite a significant affect on PageRank™, the term for the method Google uses to help decide which websites are popular and therefore worthy of higher rankings and which are genereally being ignored. I currently know of several websites that have seen most or all of there back-links dissappear. Thankfully the sites in quesion are not particularly commercially critical but it is still a worrying phase.

More on that when something changes.

Meanwhile...

This site seems to be rather favoured by the big G. The last 2 posts made in MJBlog quickly became No 1 on Google for their respective titles 'golf anyone' and 'blog anyone'.

Older news

Things have moved around in the positions for 'Cambridge web design' too. The previous no.1 listing has vanished, presumably due to just pushing things a bit too far. This site, mjbdata.co.uk, is now in the middle of page 2 - time for a little nudge methinks.

Update January 5, 2007

:-( no longer no.1 on Google for 'No.1 on Google'. Hme... I wonder if mentioning the fact that I'm no longer no.1 on Google for 'No.1 on Google' will make me no.1 on Google for 'No.1 on Google' again.
