Last night I pulled up to a stop light. My eyes were drawn to the huge image directly in front of me. A Chevy Suburban with a flip-down TV screen in the back seat. No, not one of those 6 inch screens. This was like 17-18 inches. It was like being at a drive-in movie. An impressive display of tech. But that's not what I'm writing about. I'm writing about what was being displayed. Strippers, performing their craft. Borderline porn. I doubt that there is a law on the books preventing you from displaying lurid images on a huge tv screen in the back seat of your car. There soon will be...

Over the last two or three weeks I've loaded in a new web server and all its associated components. You probably haven't noticed. But those of you with old bookmarks should update them. You no longer will get the IP address in the URL bar (unless you're using an old bookmark). It's just 'macgirvin.com' now.

As mentioned before, this is all to help my online advertising. I've put all the pieces into place to improve my page rankings. But it isn't working. In fact I've slipped a couple of points on the page ranks. Why? I'm still waiting for the googlebot. It hasn't crawled the web very consistently lately. It's hit some pages, but not the ones that matter the most to me. It has hit some of the pages that don't matter a couple of thousand times. 

Interesting enough that McSoft has recently put considerable resources behind web search. I see the msn crawler in the web logs also. It methodically walks every page on the site and leaves. And it's back again doing the same thing 2-3 days later. Google is still updating changes I made three weeks ago. But if I go to MSN, my web pages get pretty good rankings in the areas I wish them to. I sure hope google starts getting it right, or this could be another chapter in McSoft's world domination book.
