Woes of Page Rank

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Once again I have been caught in the perenial quandrary of pagerank. You can find the sites (if you are searching correctly) but Google doesn’t seem to have the sites in its’ cache and related pages can’t be found.

Perhaps I don’t really want to find the related or similar pages – but I would like to know that the site works properly and is being correctly indexed! We could push the payperclick (PPC) somewhat more – or start submitting the website to different search engines and link farms.. but sometimes this costs money – real money – and without a definite ROI – what do we do?

You spend hours on the content and get nothing!

Churchill Retirement is a good example. It is fighting in a very small market worth a lot of money to those who win. Retirement home, flats, and apartments are always going to be at a premium price – senior living and assisted living environments are so important in our society.

On the other hand – our church website at St Marys Ferndown seems to live a life on its own and most of the pages get properly linked.

Aw shucks. Never mind – keep playing the game.

Vista for breakfast anyone?

Thursday, January 25th, 2007

I wonder how many people are now using Vista
I spend my life using computers and some of them have fairly old versions of operating systems. Nearly up to date now – but some will never become Vista solutions!
Yes – I have taken the plunge – and the main development computer is now running both Vista and Office 2007. Nothing really radical – since I had been using the release candidate installed in a seperate partition so there was no problems with hardware compatibility. However XP and Office 2003 were getting flaky – updates were not always installing properly and I did not want to go for a complete rebuild. So there we are – upgrade worked successfully – and I did not have retype all my passwords etc again!
Do I like the interface?
Yes, I do. But then I like the latest and the best. And I’m different from my neighbours – so I can crow for a little while!
Does it make my computer work better?
Not really – I think it is a much bigger operating system now – and even needs a DVD to do the install and as such there is quite a lot of “bloat”.
So there you are….
