Google Rick and his company, Rick Thomas, ReSource and our Rick Thomas shows up at positions 2, 3, 4, 9, and 10 out of 4,280,000. Half the top ten. Not bad.
Let's get a tad more generic. Rick's well known in the wireless community, so what happens if we Google Rick Thomas wireless ? Would you believe our Rick Thomas shows up in spots 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of 1,210,000 pages? It's true.
Some references are to http://ABetterBlogsite.com, others to Rick's Website, http://YourResource.com, and still others to Rick's Blogsite. It seems that some of my posts here have moved some of Rick's posts down a tad, but that's not always a bad thing. It helps build up Rick's rich data cloud and improves his overall findability, which is exactly what we want.
Thirty days ago Googling Rick Thomas yielded a great deal about the famous Las Vegas magician of the same name, but not a single thing on our Rick Thomas, at least in the first 300 spots.
Google the search phrase Rick Thomas right now, and our Rick Thomas comes up in http://ABetterBlogsite.com at spots 33 and 34, in http://YourResource.com at spot 49, and in RIck's Blogsite at spots 71 & 72. That's five references in the top 100, out of 4,330,00 pages that Google considered significant for Rick Thomas.
So what's the "secret sauce"? Simple, the MyST Technology Platform on which every MyST BlogsiteTM is built. MyST was built from the ground up to make it easy for both people and machines to find information, and Blogsites powered by MyST are optimized for high "findability."
It's almost like magic. Right Rick? ;-) |
