So, as you can probably notice, I’ve changed the design of my site slightly. It looks slightly better and it’s easier for me to create new “insightful” posts! Yeah, right! Anyway, the flipside to this new design is that now when I search for my name on Google, I’m nowhere to be seen! Previously, my Bebo page was the second entry for Adam Murphy listed on Google!
In trying to figure out why it disappeared, I noticed that the new design didn’t have my “Social” section with links to my profiles on various sites. It’s strange how my link from Adams Rants to my Bebo profile is what appears to have warranted such a high ranking for my Bebo page, yet Adams Rants doesn’t seem to be appearing in any of my searches for “Adam Murphy”.
I’m now a mission to become the highest ranked Adam Murphy on Google by practicing some search engine optimisation as well as purchasing a domain name “adam-murphy.info”. A little vain? Perhaps. But it’s always nice to have your name high up in the search engines!
