As recently as a few weeks ago, if you typed my name into google this blog would show up at the very top of the results. Today I checked again, just for kicks, and it now shows up on PAGE 12. Adding things like the city or state I live in doesn't change anything, though when I added "art," hem|mungen showed up on the second page of results. In the same search at yahoo and altavista the blog lands at the top spot. The mysteries of PageRank.
This new invisibility could be both good and bad...On the other hand, the first result using just my name (no middle initial) does return something of mine, so it's not all other people with my name who show up. It's just the blog that's at the bottom on google.

maybe we could build some link farms? ;-)
p.s.: any news regarding our packages?

Hmm, link farms, eh? Not bad...although maybe it's fate that people can't find me online at the moment. Might be a good thing. I'm sure it'll change, anyway, just because of the nature of PageRank.

One of the google tricks is to have your name on the front page written in the content. Like calling the site "hem|mungen by Firstname Lastname" insted of just "hem|mungen". And then keep on putting your name into the content as much as you can.

That's a good idea, Zac. Should've thought of that myself I suppose! : )
