Google-icious

I don’t mean to brag but it looks like Google and MSN love me! I’ve been paying pretty close attention to my stats since I switched servers and the Googlebot has visited this site about 7 times each day so far this month. MSN isn’t far behind with 5 visits per day.

In my not too distance past, I’d hear constant whining and crying over search engine rankings. “Content, content, content…”, I’d say. Never one to say, “I told you so.”, I’ll let the stats speak for themselves. I’m also not including Inktomi, etc. or blog-related spiders. Alexis found a post here about reddit on Technorati and commented on it within hours of it being published.

I think my point here is that while people offer up lots of tricks to get indexed or high rankings, nothing worthwhile ever comes without hard work. Content is king. Scratch that, fresh content is king. I try to write here regularly to make it worthwhile for people to come back. Search engines are no different.
