How not to impress the Google spider. Rebirth of a long-suffering website.

If the Google spider could speak, it would certainly have a mouthful of explicatives for this website. I’ve used and abused this domain and the website as a playground for countless pet projects and experiments, with no particular rhyme or reason except my own personal whim. In turns, this website has been a blog (with all of one entry), a testing ground for WordPress features, and a convenient location to practice web programming skills. Now, experimentation can be a good thing, but certainly not for search engine positioning. Google and co. will have had trouble finding keywords from the website, as content has been so fleeting and directionless in the past.

That may change, now that I have an idea for this website. I’m giving this website another shot at glory and, at the same time, going back to the origins of blogging circa 1999 (remember Opendiary and Livejournal?). From now on, I’ll be posting in unrefined/unpolished form my thoughts and observations about marketing (in the internet age). It will be like a diary of a marketer, hopefully without the banality of most blogs (e.g. what my dog did this morning posts). Perhaps interesting for you, as a reader. Perhaps not. In any case, search engines seem to give extra love to blogs and blog postings. Here’s to you, dear Google spider. Hope you like what you see next time around.
