Site Optimization and Search Results: Why Do We Bother?

| 1 Comment |

I received a comment recently from someone and re-read it tonight and it took on a totally different meaning.

Goodness! I was checking my links on my blog page, and Technorati, and found your comments! What a pleasant surprise. Thank you, Toni, for what you said about my blog, Whispered Into the Ground. I rather like Spitting Into the Wind...smile... Has a nice ring to it and catchy. When I do have time to read other blogs, I like leaving comments. So many neat blogs out there! Happy New Year!

How whole-heartedly I agree with this lady. There are so many neat blogs out there, and we can go past them so quickly on our quest for the next one that we really don't afford the time it takes to post a comment. I fiind this especially true of the Blogger sites, I have my own at Toni's Alternate World, and when I bother to use the topbar I find some extraordinary sites that I cruise past in a second. Occasionally the site grabs me and I deign to blog about it. That's it isn't it? We deign, as in a God who controls the future of a domain. We don't find a site a second look and completely overlook it considering it beneath us to at least leave a comment. At least to say "Your site sucks".

It's annyoying on Blogger that alot of the sites are pure ad sites or scam sites (anything suss, beware!), but every three or four there'll be a site worth reading. Google is no better. I typed in "Whispered Into the Ground" and got this return:

It is a rather precise phrase. To get something back that related to "Fucking the Wind" is rather outrageous. Candle in The Wind doesn't even come close! I'm wondering whether it's even worth our while to even consider site optimisation when you get a search result like this one.
