By that logic, everyone who links to Zeldman (which is just about anybody with any interest in web design, yours truly included) will automatically get higher rankings in the search engine. I'm no expert on the algorithms used by search engines, but I'm pretty sure that it's not important who you link to, but who links to you. In other words, I can link to as many "famous" websites as I want (and many people do) and still not improve my search engine rankings. However, if those "famous" websites were to link to me, my ranking would most likely improve. |

Hiroki: Its possible that links from your page to relevant high ranking ones might make Google think your site is more relevant in that area but, as Suho1004 says, the big boost comes from being linked to from high ranking sites. Which is why places like handson are 'prime real estate'. |

With your URL, Suho, I'm sort of amazed you don't automatically win. www.alanmacdougall.com is consistently tops for the search "alan macdougall", anyway. Oh, and the quoted phrase "dragons rule the earth" turns up the Dragonhunt as number 3. Hurray! |

Yeah, it's kind of weird... like I said, I was hovering around two or three for the longest time, and then suddenly I dropped to 160 something. It's really odd. |

...maybe other people (meaning forums and stuff) don't call them 'sig's? |

PS is right - you can make up your own keywords and do pretty well in them but if they aren't ones being used by people then there doesn't seem much point Have a look at your web stats and see what people are actually using to reach your site. |

That is a good point... I get the most hits for "what is liminality?" actually. |
