Google Restoration

Google has finally re-indexed this blog, and you can now search for entries in our archives with the box at the left and get the full entries.

It's been about six weeks since Google deleted us, apparently due to http errors of some sort. I understand that the Googlebot does have a six week cycle. I did attempt to contact humans at Google, but was unsuccessful. Even when I called their headquarters, I was not able to find my way out of the automated system.

We're back, but our page rank is zero (it was 6/10 before the deletion). That means that we still won't get much traffic from Google for a while.

This would be a good time to do a little outreach. When you write a good post, send an email to a blogger who might be interested in it, and ask for a link. Incoming links are what we need to get our Google page rank back up.

I'll step up my linking to Centerfield (I'm always on the run -- mostly from readers in mobs carrying torches -- but I'll make a special effort).

This blog is a tiny link on the front page, the 10th one down on the left. I think a lot of people drop by the front page and never even make it to this blog before leaving.

How about making this blog the front page of centrist coalition

I, too, will make an effort to link more to you so you can get back up to snuff.

Aw, c'mon Joe! I run alone and carry a flashlight!

Oh, THAT mob. Never mind.

Humans at Google? I thought it was an offshoot of the Forbin Project.

The odds of Google getting back to you if you aren't a member of the press or actually engaged in commerce with them is Zero. The rate of speed with which they get back two if you meet the previous requirements is based on your Google Personal Importance Ranking.

I'll drop a link or two this way to help out.
