Google rules
A friend sent me a Youtube video offering some ‘no-bull’ insights into how to get your site ranked so that it appears on the first page of Google. An interesting piece of commentary from someone who has a lot of experience at it.
One of the things he has done is put up a couple of PDFs of Google ‘Best Practice’ For your convenience, you will find them
here (Aussieweb Best Practice)
The reason that I posted this is to try out a theory about how everyday users access web sites using Google. One thing I have noticed is that there are an awful lot of people who don’t know what the address bar is and who think that the only way to access a site is to type it into Google search. At first this strange behaviour puzzled me, but I quickly found that it was often faster to do that than try and get the URL in, even for short site addresses, such as conect.com
Occasional readers will realise that I don’t post often. This is due to the influence of a comedy show that I watched as a child called ‘Mr Ed’. Those who have seen it will understand. To all the rest, I suggest you consider the latest Telstra ad aimed at reviving interest in the (failed?) Trading Post (online) and wonder if it is an original idea?
