Search Engine Results

Category: Personal — ChrisM @ 10:49 am

I have just completed a quick check of how this blog is faring when it comes to search engine results, using Google.
www.ChrisMerriman.com is 3rd for the phrase Kazakhstan Blog, an improvement most probably helped by a recent campaign I ran over at PayPerPost. Unfortunately if you search for Astana Blog , this blog is now just 17th, possibly due to the fact that I don’t mention my home town each time it appears in a blog post – long term readers know where I live, but search engine bots (and new readers now that I think about it 🙂 ) may not be able to figure that out. Though it is mentioned at the top of each page ().
Finally, if you happen to search for Astana Kazakhstan Blog (or the more likely search of Astana, Kazakhstan Blog), then this site comes in at 1st place!

The Grey Area – New URL

Category: Personal — ChrisM @ 10:26 am

I know I have previously hooked up some of my friends and blog readers with the The Grey Area forum, run by SloppyGoat .
In case you had not yet noticed, the address has now changed – it used to have a ‘dynu’ address, but due to that company have severe technical issues, you can now find The Grey Area at http://tga.sytes.net .
If you have previously registered there, you should have received an e-mail informing you of the new address, however if you have since changed e-mail addresses, you will need to login and update it.
The forum covers Tweaking (I first came across the community in it’s TweakFiles days), Hardware / Software / Operating System / Networking & Audio/Video issues, as well as a healthy spattering of general chit chat.

PS This is NOT a sponsored post, I just wanted to inform people of the new address of this old favourite of mine.
