Benedict XVI and Internet

Before new pope, Benedict XVI, has choosen his name, the Internet domain name www.benedictXVI.com was already taken. Shortly after, the domain name was offered for sale on eBay.com with the price well above $1000 last time I looked.

The other popular spot on the Internet is unofficial blog covering His Holiness thepopeblog.blogspot.com. If you need to contact the pope he got himself the email address: benedictxvi@vatican.va.

Elusive Google Sandbox

Google created the sandbox new website filter starting in March, 2004. The main reason was to stop spam related websites from adding large number of purchased links, to achive high rankings for their keywords from the date of launch. Only some websites are placed in the sandbox, but it happens more frequently for those websites which are seeking rankings for highly competitive keyword phrases. In order for your site to get out of the sandbox, you need to continue building strong incoming links, have good link anchor text, and add more keyword rich relevant content on your webpages. Google does not say much about sandbox effect, and when you search for sandbox term you will find Google Adwords Keyword Tool as the first result.

Yahoo supports Wikipedia

Yahoo Search engine will supply hardware and other resources to the Wikimedia Foundation Inc. to support that nonprofit organization's free Wikipedia online encyclopedia. Yahoo Search also will feature abstracts of Wikipedia content at the top of relevant search results in the form of shortcuts, which are either factual information or links to factual information. Yahoo's shortcuts are intended to give the answers right on the search results page, so users don't have to browse away to other websites for the desired information.

Search Results and Blog Power

Blogs are achieving much higher search engine rankings than most websites from the same business sector. As an example when you type in Google the two word phrase business world you will see that blog www.blogbusinessworld.blogspot.com ranks # 5 out of 439,000,000 results, just few positions behind BBC News. We could debate of the importance of the search results but the fact is there are many far wealthier organizations, with expensively designed traditional websites, ranked behind that blog. And as everyone knows higher traffic to the blog or website equals higher sales revenue.
