Some of you might have noticed this blog was off the air for about 1.5 days and might have even wondered why! Believe me it wasn’t by intention or design. In my trying to re-arrange things a bit, I must have done something real bad wrong and wiped out the whole thing. Yes the whole thing. Luckily Wordpress puts about everything in a database. The database was intact and all the files were on my hard drive so I thought hey, I could just upload everything and get going again. No way. Something was scrubed pretty bad. I could not get anything, no login, no admin, no posts, nothing. Read the rest…

That’s the title of an article in Fortune magazine written By Adam Lashinsky, senior writer. You can read the article and get a sort of strange feeling you’ve heard of things like this before. It may still be some time before we have to be concerned with Google falling apart at the seams but if they keep going like it’s described in this article, it may not be long! I guess that’s the buzz for today or this week and it would really be interesting to know what kind of feeling this conjours up in the various people like you and me. One thing that occurred to me was it might actually be better for Webmasters to have a two or three horse race instead of just one. The competition maybe good. Also this, if it happens, may just open the door for a new start-up much like Google once did since they seem to be loosing that start-up feeling and joining the ranks of Intel and Microsoft or surpassing them.
So what do you think about this?
My website has a Page Rank of 3 and is in number 2, 7, 6 and 2 position for my keyword in AltaVista, Google, MSN and Yahoo search engines. Now that’s not really terrific, I’m still working on it, but it’s not bad either and I basically did it without resorting to any SEO program. The point I’m trying to make is that search engines want to post the best search results for you and me so they’re going to be particular about how they do it and I think to a certain extend, they divulge what the criteria is. For the most part though, they don’t. Imagine what it would be like if everyone knew the “secrets” and the “keys” they use.
So how do you really get a higher rank in search engine position when you’re starting off? All I can tell you is what I have done and am still doing. The way I see it, there are three (3) things that could be important to help you get there:
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization and it’s an industry created just for obtaining higher ranking on the Search Engine’s search pages. Since Google is the number one search engine, SEO’s are mostly patterned to get a higher ranking on Google searches. This should give you enough information to know what SEO is, but there’s a whole industry out there devoted to doing just that. Imagine that thousands of companies out there are making a living optimizing web sites to rank higher in search engine results or claim to be designing web sites specifically for that purpose.
