Playing Card Hittage
RinR has been experiencing a relative flood of hits in the past 24 hours. A quick late night examination of the access logs revealed nothing new except the obvious — “more hits”. This morning, a closer examination revealed the Iraq Playing Cards article had been receiving a majority of the hits. It turns out that if you search Google for “Iraq Playing Cards” that RinR is the first non-paid for link and I have no idea why.
My simplistic assumption has always been that Google’s page rank was somehow based on a count of the number of links to a site/topic. I find it difficult to believe that RinR’s playing card blurb is somehow cutting edge. The brief article appeared days after the cards were originally presented via traditional media and my assumption was they had been talked about at length in the weblogosphere.
This turn of events is handy as I’ve had a Google article bubbling around my head for a few days and now I have even more reason to commit it to the keyboard. If you’ve got insider Google knowledge that explains our new found hits or even just a kooky theory, I’d like to hear it.
Google also ranks based on the "importance" of pages that link to you. My totally uninformed opinion is you're picking up rank due to the link from the jerkcity front page, which I'm sure lots of people link to.
My own site can easily be reached by typing 'xenosaga panties' into Google.
'nuff said.
Lots of links to www.jerkcity.com = high 'respect' from google = high pagerank, no matter the page on the domain, methinks.
I think you could use this to foist your ideas upon an unsuspecting public. For example, "vegas girls drunk" give RinR as hit #4, "vegas system" as #1, "holy shit" as #2.
I can not explain in words how pleased I am that "Vegas System" is #1.
I get a substantial number of hits from google searches for "donkey shows" (#1) and "mexican viagra" (#2). I'm going to have to post donkey show pictures and sell some bottles of skittles to keep people interested.
jerkcity is #1 for "smooth buddy", "scrubbing chums" "crontab rape" and "stdjo.h".
In related news, the top 5 search strings for Jerkcity are: "fuck france", "admiral krag", "handjob", "pot brownie recipe", and "blowjob".
YOU GOTTA LOVE THAT DEMOGRAPHIC.
Yeah you do gotta love them. They won't take no for an answer.
also: the google image "safe-search" feature blocks jerkcity altogether.
