A Step in the Right Direction

Filed under Daily, My Future, Picture-y Goodness, Playing Around, Thinking //

So this past weekend I went up to Metavante and had some interviews with the people up there.

If you want to know how it went, why don’t you ask me? ;-)

All in all, I REALLY liked the area up there - MUCH smaller than Chicago, but MUCH bigger than Lincoln, if you catch my drift.

So, I have been having a LOT more people visit this blog: Happy 500th Post and I’m now up to 5,000 visitors as well! I was wondering what was bringing in so many people, and I noticed that a lot of people are getting here by GOOGLING certain phrases or whatnot to get to my blog.

Then, I was curious.

So, I went to McDonalds.

And then I did a Google Search.

Google does this thing called “Page Ranks”, where every website on the internets gets a “rank” as to how high on the Google search page you get whenever you search for something…on Google! (Get me?)

Google PageRank <br />Checker - Page Rank Calculator” width=”80″ height=”15″ border=”0″></a></p> <p>Rank 3?! Now I know some of you may be thinking “Well, that’s pretty low.”</p> <p>In the realm of Google, I can assure you, IT IS NOT - I did some ‘famous’ websites that first clicked into my head:</p> <p>Youtube.com - Page Rank: 8<br />Dooce.com - Page Rank: 7<br />Boredom on a Stick - Page Rank: 2<br />ByJillian.com - Page Rank: 0</p> <p>SEE?!</p> <p>So now I need to stop using words like PENIS, WHORE, SLUT, and HARDCORE in my posts, I guess, in order to make it LESS Google-able.</p> </div><!-- end .entry --> <div class= Posted by Jillian at 7:43 pm

Or maybe you need more exotic words to get more hits. To me, quality is much better than quantitiy.

My blog got too big at one time, so I’ve stopped playing “the game.”

I haven’t been here in awhile. Sorry about that.
