There are a lot more that have ranked 1st, 2nd, 3rd page of course but this is one of the more generic and generalized. Yeh.

Pretty interesting stuff.

Analyzing Google

Huh, I typed in my name into google and the first thing that comes up now is my blog for EP Saddlery to create friendly links. It used to be my myspace page, but about two weeks ago I turned all text and backgrounds to white, and then changed the opacity of the images to .01 in order to create a blank page. Now the page is nowhere to be found, hmm. I'm guessing google uses an indexer that some how only reads visible text in order to avoid spamming. Now I know what not to do, but what about my website. I submitted the URL to various search engines about 3 weeks ago, but that's also not in the top 30. I guess I'll have to wait the recommended 2-6 weeks.
