Perton Project Day 28: Live at No. 1!
With just two days left to go in this 30-day experiment, I can claim at least one definitive victory: I’m now in the No. 1 position on Live Search. The victory would be sweeter if I could just move the needle even a little on Google, but so far all of my efforts have been for naught. The biggest issue seems to be the fact that Google is crawling this site very infrequently, which means nothing I’ve done over the past month has registered with the Goog. It’s as if I’m in a time warp, where Microsoft and Yahoo are already in the present, while Google is mired in the past. Hopefully that means that, by the time they do get around to crawling this site again, I’ll leapfrog to the top. For now, though, I’ll just have to enjoy my success with the second and third-tier engines (I’m still No. 2 on Yahoo), which ain’t too shabby for a month’s effort.
