Another day

Well since getting the astronomy books for Christmas I have not had chance to site down and take a look. I went to the football on Saturday and went down to Plymouth - I support Coventry. Unfortunately the referee was not very well trained and seemed to create absolute havoc during the last five minutes of stoppage time. This was an absolute nightmare for Coventry who let in a goal in the last minute.

Just purchased my tickets for Crewe although spent almost one hour on the telephone in my lunch hour! anyway that is really it today. Watched a fab film last night called Man on Fire. Fully recommended should get this out as it is amazing. Anyway must dash. Oh my fish have had babies so I will post a picture of the little fry on the website.

Google Secret Lab

German reporter Henk van Ess from searchbistro.com unveiled today the secret behind eval.google.com


For a long time I have been posting over at seochat and webmasterworld to SEO newbies on the Google sandbox. The sandbox is basically a term used when a new website is not shown in the Google rankings. It takes around 6-12 months for the site to start to show high rankings for competitive words. I launched a website back in October 2004 and alhough the site remained top for the name of the website it was not showing for the key themed word.

To put this in english there is always a time log before your website will show for the wigets you sell on line. So if your website sells paint and is called jo.com you will not be shown in the searches initially for the keyword paint but may come top for the term job - dependent on the competitiveness of the keyword. I heard from a legendary SEO chat member that Google was starting to get people to humanly add sites and check searches daily to get rid of spam.

This has now been confirmed by a blogger who is in fact one of these human editors. Please click here to read more about Google's secret lab.

Last day at Highfield Road

End of an era at high field road. Well what an interesting day I have had today. It first began when I got up and got ready to go and see Coventry city unfortunatly my boyfriend locked us out of our house and we were on the way to the last game ever at Highfield road!!! plus this game was so important as we may have gone down this season. I called a locksmith who could not guarentee that he would be with us within the hour. So my boyfriend just broke the door down!! we jumped in the car and witnessed the best football match in the world!

SCORE 6-3
To Coventry
