Proof of the interconnectedness of all things.

Dinosaur that ate banana fossil
I signed up for Google alerts the other day. I’d been meaning to do it for ages but things kept getting in the way – and as normal it exceded my expectations. I signed up for the things that interest me and then as I was about to log out I thought…. I know “Dinosaur Eats Banana”…. so I requested alerts on the subject.
24 hours later I got an alert re Dinosaur eats banana. Somebody somewhere had discovered the fossilised tooth of a dinosaur and had described it as the size of a banana. Google spotted it and thought …”theres that guy in Scotland who needs to know about this”. So thanks Google – amazing stuff.
Our wee game on Search Engine Optimisation Scotland is proving to be a lot more eductional than I thought – it’s already shown how clever wordpress is with tagging and now how smart google alerts are.

Dinosaur finds banana again
Interesting.
Google is now listing our favorite phrase - dinosaur eats banana – against our Search Engine Optimisation Scotland website again. So thats good. I guess something somewhere was cached and we were served up new pages earlier in the day yesterday and old indexed pages later in the day – dont know! And the great thing is that because Google keeps these sort of things secret any theory is a good one.

Banana gets lost
We started the day with Google including our SEO Scotland site when looking for the term Dinosaur Eats Banana and we have ended the day noticing that it seems to have dropped off the first 100 hits at least.
Interesting… why?
Well it could be that Google has looked at the rest of the site and some algorithm has decided we have nothing to do with Dinosaurs or Bananas – which is indeed true.
Or it could be a thing called a human deciding we were messing around. Which would be fair enough I guess.
Or it might be keyword density being too high – but I suspect not.
Either way – very cool! And shows that the world of SEO is a tricky place. Just when you think you have things nailed (or the banana eaten by the dinosaur so to speak) you find you have been deluding yourself.
Good wee case study for our customers – helps them (and us) see that SEO comes with no gaurantees, only probabilities.
We did find this video clip of a banana eating a banana which we share for no good reason other than it seems suitably yellow and tasty.

Dinosaur visits Scotland
Checked mid morning to find that Google has now found the term “dinosaur eats banana” on our SEO site at Search Engine Optimisation Scotland. So thats probably around 12 to 14 hours for google to check the site and index the content.
So we are now the top three items out of 115,000 for the term. Amazing how quickly this has popped up. Shows the power of the systems that are trawling the internet. Impressive and maybe even concerning.
I take my hat off to the folks at Google and WordPress. Within 4 (yes four) hours the phrase “Dinosaur Eats Banana” is number one in Google and points at the previous wordpress article on this page.
Impressed! Very impressed!
Goes to show we have a lot to learn about how Search Engines work – I really didn’t expect such a fast result.
I’ll have to update our info about SEO on our Search Engine Optimisation Scotland site – goes to show we’re not as smart as we thought. We still have lots to learn.

Dinosaur eats banana
We’re beginning to think we are getting pretty smart on the Search Engine Optimisation stuff. However, we know the rules are prone to change so we can’t afford to be complacent. So to keep us on our toes and to make sure we don’t get too big for our boots……
On a Friday afternoon wondering why anybody works on a Friday afternoon we came up with a wee (scots for small) game – we’d pick a strange phrase to show our customers who need SEO help that you can be number one in Google for a phrase but if nobody is looking for that phrase it really doesn’t matter.
So we messed around trying to come up with a daft phrase and after far too much coffee….
Dinosaur Eats Banana
we googled and yes there are articles that use all those words but nothing exactly the same. So we have added a page
You can click here to visit our Dinosaur Eats Banana page.
No doubt SEO experts much cleverer than us will have a bash to hijack the idea and make us look like amateurs. So we reserve the right to give up, say we didn’t mean it and all those things you say when you’ve been knocked out of the competition in round 1.
So Dinosaur Eats Banana….. find out how on Search Engine Optimisation Scotland.
