Mike had to shift servers and never got round to reinstating that feature. Pity, it was a promising idea.

Looks like an interesting site — but the link’s broken. Well it was two years ago…

Comment on Bing and Twitter could shift the search landscape by bill

Ah, the perils of real-time journalism Just seen a Google Watch article about it published at 11.35pm. Mind you it appears as if it may be some months before they get actual data in the search results so it looks like a reaction to Bing rather than a genuine announcement. Still, good money for Twitter indeed!

Presumably the news has been too much for Twitter’s infrastructure – they’ve been inaccessible from here for the last few hours.

Comment on When getting hacked hits your rankings by IMJUK

Eeek. I’m just checking all my versions of WP now to make sure they’re fine. I’ve seen some of these hacks before – but usually the ones that I’d seen were based on passing in SQL through query strings.

Hope it remedies your rankings.

So why has Google captured the lions share of the market? Perhaps its their whimsical name.

For small businesses, this is simple not true. I’m 3rd in Google for my key search phase, 8 in Yahoo and 2 in Ask.

Of course the search engines are going to make “Coke Cola” company number one, you’d expect that.

hahaha. And there was me thinking that each search engine looked at your content and your links but evaluated differently. Must just be the fact that I aint a brand – if I was a brand I could go in and mess with all the results.

Comment on New MSN/Live fails the relevance test by IMJUK

Oh well. MSN is kinda rubbish – doesnt even seem to be google lite – apart from the result layout these days. That sais some of my affiliate sites took a wee jump up on brand terms for merchants – traffic here I come – maybe :p
