Google's algorithims and rules for showing results are constantly being updated, tweaked and modified, with the aim always of trying to get the best results to you each time. Google are always looking for ways to weed out crumby sites with crappy content.
What does this mean to me?
Well if you have a website, this means that you many need to have a look at your website content. Does your website have good, relative content? Do you have strong search engine optimisation?
Synonyms
Much of Google's results are served from synonyms of the keywords you typed.
This means that your website needs to include a range of relevant words that capture the different search terms. For example if you have a website for rental cars, you will want to include terms like "hire" and "vehicle" as well.
May Day Release
Google's May Day release brought in a change in Google's algorithim that affected long-tail keyword pages.
"Long-tail keywords" are longer search terms, such as "Bed and Breakfast Accommodation Christchurch New Zealand". A "short-tail keyword" would be something like "Christchurch accommodation".
The change mostly only affected large directories and sites relying on long-tail keywords for results.
What does this mean? Well it means you may need to check the search engine optimisation on your website. Have you optimised your website for short key phrases or long key phrases?
It can be very helpful to go to Google yourself and type in a few different things to try and bring up your website. If you can't find it then you will need to tweak your optimisation.

New legislation is set to be passed that will involve stronger penalties for those caught illegally downloading content such as films and music from the web.
The new legislation involves a three-strikes system where offenders are given three formal warnings, and if they continue to illegally download content, copyright owners can apply for up to $15,000 compensation. The copyright owner can also request the offenders service provider cuts off the customers internet service for up to 6 months.
Offenders who feel they have been wrongly penalised can take their case to the Copyright Tribunal, for free.
Under the new law, offenders' internet account usage will be held for at least 40 days by their internet service provider. Those found to consistently breach copyright laws would face having their internet service cut off by district court ruling.

The CompTIA website has a wonderful interactive tool that helps prospective computer personnel identify roles that align with interests, and provides an overview of the typical tasks that are involved on a day to day basis. Alongside are notes on personal qualities and skills that are needed, as well as the qualifications that will get you a step in the door. It provides a jolly good overview of what you can expect from a variety of functions within the field (at entry, intermediate and senior levels), before committing to any particular training path. We are now using it as a tool in our recruitment.
The challenge to find a suitable draw-card for the forth coming Careers Expo was met when it was decided to create a working computer immersed in a fish tank. Much useful information was to be found on the Internet and the students in my A+ class enthusiastically helped to build the project.
It soon became obvious that some type of oil that is non-conductive was requited to fill the tank; a practical application of this is used in the computers onboard ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles) that are used for deep sea salvage and maintenance of under-sea cables. The extreme pressures at great depths would crush an air filled computer case – so they are filled with oil.
Liquid paraffin (Mineral Oil) was used to fill the tank into which a power supply and Pentium motherboard – mounted on a sheet of Perspex - had been installed. The fish tank has a small box in the lid so we decided that an external USB hard drive would work best as it could be concealed in the box. I have still to establish whether a hard drive will work immersed in oil – watch this space.
This raised a, not at first apparent, problem; Windows XP doesn’t support installation on an external USB drive - and how this problem can be overcome will be the subject of my next blog. The clip shows some of the stages of assembly and the completed Fish Tank - which turned out to be a smash hit at the Expo.
