Digg double index.

Friday, March 14th, 2008

This week I’ve seen some talk about people linking to IP’s ..

Now it used to be far more common, but now domain is king..

Regarding seo, ip’s are a nightmare..

SER had a post about it here: http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/016518.html 

Anyway.. Every day I seem to see a ip index for something or other, normally long tail terms but just now I was search a username of a forum member as you do and came accross no other than digg..

Digg has been double index via digg.com and a ip..

Over 90,000 pages are indexed on that ip have a look:

http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3A64.191.203.30

The one interesting thing to look at is which pages are index ip vs domain.. 9 million vs 90k… lets say only 10 links point to the ip then those 10 link would index 90k of pages… something to think about.. but finding what and who has linked is a real pain..

I suspect it might be to do with some api or widgets…

bigsnapsearch mentioned on virgin radio all day!

Friday, March 7th, 2008

Now I don’t listen much to the radio but in the morning whilst having a show it good to have a few tunes in the background and hear the latest news and what issues London is having with the transport system..

Here is my radio .. pretty cool..

Anyway back to the point…

Between each and every song in the morning on Virgin radio the presenter keeps going on about bigsnap …  Search and you can win blahhh…

Not just that but the competition on the radio for people to phone in are once again related to bigsnap..

Yesterday to question was “What have search for on bigsnapsearch where you can win, which returned a site about “pickels”  ”
(some dog with found a shed load of cash)

The “new” search engine as its called by the radio presenters should have a name change to big virgin search ;)
