Hidden Blog remains rooted at #42 in Google searches for "Joe McDonald." As one of my 2008 new year's resolutions I hunted around Google's advice pages on how to increase ranking. It said:
"In general, webmasters can improve the rank of their sites by increasing the number of high-quality sites that link to their pages.
The heart of our software is PageRank™, a system for ranking web pages developed by our founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin at Stanford University. And while we have dozens of engineers working to improve every aspect of Google on a daily basis, PageRank continues to play a central role in many of our web search tools.
PageRank Explained
PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page's value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at considerably more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; for example, it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily and help to make other pages "important." Using these and other factors, Google provides its views on pages' relative importance."
In short, I need friends in high e-places to add Hidden Blog to its list of links. Hmmm... I wonder if there are other Joe McDonalds (or some anti-Country Joes) out there who would rally to the cause...
