By a man called…

Go Diesel!
With some help from a #Webdev friend, the elusive google search Photos by a man called Denyer now points (almost) to its rightful home. How was this done? One hyperlink. Does this expose a potentially dangerous flaw in Google’s searching methods? Yes and no. It seems that if you are able to identify a “hole” in the market for a given search phrase, then its quite possible with the minimum of effort to plug that hole and have your website rise out on top. Of course ‘Photos by a man named denyer’ was a very small hole, so it was possible to fix it with a very small plug, but that’s not to say that this has slightly greater implications. We wouldn’t, afterall, want the beloved Google to become a miserable failure

    It only works with particular niche phrases, the trick is to latch onto these phrases before they become popular on a grand scale 😉

    It’s also maybe worth mentioning that all I’ve done is make your site known for particular phrases. I believe that to get to the top of google for something as non-specific as ‘photography’ you’d have to put a lot more work in!
