07/02 2003 – Have you got enough knowledge of who your competitors are? Do you actually know what other sites compete for the same keywords as you? I just stumbled over a very nifty way to find out, at least about the ones that advertise on Google. Yesterday I implemented the Google AdSense program here […]
Google är inte bara den största sökmotorn, och den viktigaste trafikdrivaren på webben. De har blivit en kraft i sig, och alla som vill lyckas på webben måste på ett eller annat sätt förhålla sig till Google idag. Jag har följt Google och synat mycket av det de har ägnat sig åt i sömmarna sedan 2001. De flesta av de posterna hittar du under kategorin Googleism, men även under sökmotoroptimering och SEO. Jag har också, med ett nästan perverst intresse följt de evigt förändrade Google-loggorna genom åren.
Google's mirror | rorrim s'elgooG
How’s your mirror reading? The real, original Googleism site reports of All Too Flat‘s excellent mirror site of Google. And when they say mirror, they mean it. Go practice your mirror reading skills! The site is used widely in countries where Google is banned (like China), and I can see how the chineese might find […]
Why all these Google searches for I hate George Bush?
Every day there are a couple of Google and Yahoo! searches for the phrase ”i hate george bush” showing up in my search engine referrals pages. It’s not very surprising that those who perform this search end up here, since both Google and (Google driven) Yahoo! places one of my t-shirt pages, titled ”I still […]
Don't blame the blogs and news sites for adding content to the web
Wired has chipped in to the accumulating stories about how Google search results are being ”clogged by blogs”. They do it with stories like this: ”Scott Gowell, of Lansing, Michigan, had a similar experience after making a brief reference on his blog, Sinekow, to an incident at a local mall. Much later, when he looked […]
Google's acting up. Is it the blogs?
There has been quite a commotion in the SEO world lately. Google’s as much feared as anticipated dance is late, and Google’s test servers aren’t doing what SEO’s have grown used to. There are zillions of discussions going on about this at forums such as SEOchat.com and WebmasterWorld.com.
Google don't want us to 'google'
By now we all know the verb to google. It’s widely used in a distict meaning. But it turns out the Google legal departement doesn’t like it. Look here for a note from a Google trademark counsel asking Paul McFedries to remove the verb from his Word Spy site. Now, I thought it was every […]
The Google Dance is over. For good.
Once upon a time there was a monthly event that hypnotized and stole almost all attention from a great number of webmasters. It was called the Google dance. Today it doesn’t exist anymore. Since a couple of months back Google updates it’s index almost every day. Depending on the size and update frequency of your […]
Google looking hacked (why do they do this?)
Google has been discussed widely lately. Some people even tend to think that Google has a secret agenda of overtaking the world (at least). But I still can’t think bad of a company that has enough humour to present a preference page with a hacked look. (This might just be a really old link, but […]
Give Google the Big Brother awards? I beg to differ.
You have probably seen that Google-watch wants us to nominate Google for the Big Brother Awards. Google-watch is one of the most paranoid sites I’ve ever seen. (Others find them odd as well.) They have a true hangup on privacy in a way that makes me feel that these guys never use the same phone […]
