Google this! (or can you?)

How annoying is that Google turns out to temperamental!? That’s right Google… I said temperamental, and I feel it is totally justified… For you see, if I were looking for the website of someone, say Britney Spears, I would think that www.britneyspears.com (or at least some variation of it) would be the first result, because after all, that page would totally be about Britney, and I would want that to be one of the first few choices I had to choose from. That is just not how Google works. I wrote a previous bog entry about how happy I was that you could Google my name and my site would show up, right at the top. Maybe Google thought that was cocky, or whatever, because they completely removed it. It isn’t on the first 5 (FIRST 5!!!????) pages of results, and hey, I can totally vouch for the fact that the site is indeed about me, Duane Moody, and isn’t just fluff or ads. So really, I guess all I want to know is this: Google, yeah you Google, why are you so temperamental? How come goggling someone or something to find out more about them from the web (because, hey, isn’t that what search engines are all about?) doesn’t turn up the best results? In fact… I am not peeved about the fact that it isn’t number one, but not even on the first 5 pages?? That is just ridiculous. Your move… Google.
