DoFollow Added

A quick update- I have installed the DoFollow plugin for this blog. Normally, to prevent comment spam, blogging platforms like Wordpress add a “nofollow” tag to links in comments- instructing search engines not follow or give any value to those links. The DoFollow plugin removes these restrictions. What does this mean for you? If you make a comment and enter a website, search engines will follow the link in your comment, and your website will get a free PR5 backlink, as well as a boost to your blog’s Technorati rank.

I haven’t been blogging much these past few weeks, but now that things are settling down, I’m looking forward to getting back into the game.

Now, with that out of the way, the actual post:

Now that this blog has gotten enough incoming links (Thanks Lifehacker and ProBlogger! ), I’m beginning to see organic search traffic, mainly from Google, where neomeme is ranked surprisingly high for certain somewhat competitive search terms. The Google gods smile upon me. But, aside from queries relevant to the content of the blog, this blog is mysteriouslyranked highly for rather…different combinations of words. Certainly not nearly as amusing as the AOL Search Database, but still mildly amusing. And so, recent searches where this blog not only showed up high in search results, but also clicked on the results, hoping to find what they are looking for here. Read more »
