So far, it would appear I’m the only person in the world to have used the word “imagulator” (update: online that is – see comments), save for a couple of hardy souls who replied to a tweet of mine on the subject. Which all makes how Google sorts the search results for this word rather interesting…
Lessons so far:
- The order of the results changes fairly frequently, even if there are no new ones for Google to find.
- Google loves tweets and collections of tweets. A photo with “imagulator” in the title usually appears lower down the search results than a brief tweet mentioning the photo or an aggregator of tweets in which the tweet mentioning the photo appears or the weekly list of tweets posted up on this site. Google ain’t good at prioritising the original material in this case.
Now let’s see what this post does to the results…
