Google Page Rank

Apparently my post about the google page rank experiment was a shameless hint (grin, not intended but most welcome).

I want to say that Mars Hill gets hits for the phrase “hey cow”

I should also say that Tim Bulkeley should get lots of hits for being “One of the nicest bloggers in the blogsphere”.

Progress on Google page rank experiment

I’m doing very poorly here. There are a few reasons:

I don’t post enough about Morecambe, or Morecambe bay.
I don’t have “Morecambe” in my domain name.
There are no links associating me with Morecambe.

There are three things I could do to solve it:

Post more.
Change my domain name.
Create a killer WordPress theme, that people love which links back to me: “Theme designed by Graham in Morecambe” on every page.

As none of these things are likely to happen, I think the experiment is dead!

Google Page Rank for “Morecambe”

Inspired by the rather odd American, Neville Medhora, and his Google page rank experiment I looked up where my blog came on a Google search for "Morecambe". The Boys Brigade website came at the bottom of page 2 (well done Matt). The church web site made it in on page 17. By the time I reached page 24 I gave up on the vanity search.

As a result I have decided to see if I can improve my page rank under the search term "Morecambe" and get to the first page. My intention is not to dupe Google or people searching for legitimate content. It is not a vanity experiment, but an attempt to see how easy it is to improve your search ranking. My strategy is to post legitimate information about Morecambe under a new category… no prises for guessing what the category will be called! I will post once or twice a week and irregularly check to see how I am progressing.
