Google is Weird

The more I research and see the results first hand, I am convinced - Google is weird.
Today I checked, again, to see if my newer pages (or any pages knowing Google) are showing up. Well now, the old index.asp pages are now showing up in Google results even though the do not exist. Also, the [...]


Further tests to fix Techorati ping issue

As you may have noticed in my last few posts, I have been having issue with my post showing up in Technorati correctly. This post is to try and see if a change that just made is going to work.

Technorati : [...]


Trouble with Technorati Links

I am putting this post up just to reference my last few post because they have not been listing correctly on Technorati.

How to setup WordPress MySQL and Permalinks info on Godaddy Hosting

I am posting a followup to yesterday’s post - WordPress, Godaddy, and Permalinks in which I spoke of what you need to enable permalinks on Godaddy hosting.
From that post I got an email asking about how to setup the wp-config.php file with the correct MySQL info.
Here are my notes about how to get it setup [...]


WordPress, Godaddy, and Permalinks

I thought I would be helpful and post my recent research results in getting WordPress setup on a Godaddy hosting account. I did searches on Google and Technorati and nobody had a definitive answer.

The coolest thing about it is that I did not put quotes “” around the phrase so I was not looking for the [...]


WordPress Permalink Post Names for SEO

In my post “themastersfamily.net - Page Rank 4” - I mentioned that I had changed the permalink structure for SEO purposes to the following -
websitename.com/postname-postid.htm

websitename.com/category/postname/

idano.net vs Google - Slowly Coming Back

Well things are starting to look better for idano.net
In checking again today 1 additional page was added to Google’s directory. The page was my review of the idano.net web site.
The good thing about this is that it is a newer page then what was indexed before.
The index page is still the old one from April [...]


idano.net back on Google - kind of

In my last post - idano.net disappears from Google - I started out by saying that I was not going to freak out too much - but I kind of did.
As I did more research I found this post over at WebProWorld that was talking about an update that Google did a couple of months [...]


idano.net disappears from Google

I am not going to freak out too much about this but idano.net has disappeared from Google - kind of.
I have been checking which pages are indexed (site:idano.net) on a regular basis lately because this site has an all new structure and layout. As of yesterday Google’s cache had my Zoundry review at the top [...]
