Lorelle's Blogging Challenge This is another one of Lorelle’s blogging challenges — to research words or phrases that make me #1 in Google. I haven’t been catching up on her blogging challenges lately but yea, I’ll do it, slowly and steadily (hopefully) *grins* But of course, the rule of this challenge is that I cannot search for my own name in Google, and neither can I use my blog name – otherwise it’d turn out #1, wouldn’t it?

So, I dug into my stats archives and found the following:

  1. If you searched for “PERHILITAN vacancy”, this post – We have a vacancy – turns up #1!! Hooray! :)
  2. If you searched for “limit LAN connection speed to 100mbps”, this post – What are packets? And what does “connection speed” mean? – also turns up #1!
  3. If you searched for “politician RM 5 mil”, this post – Not OK to sell turtle eggs – turns up #2.
  4. If you searched for “greatest dad triathlon”, this post – World’s greatest dad – also turns up #2.
  5. If you searched for “Mydin Terengganu”, this post – The biggest Mydin on the East Coast – also turns up #2.
  6. If you searched for “stop poaching”, this post – Stop poaching & start saving – turns up #5.
  7. If you searched for “river terrapin” and “terrapin eggs”, this post – Exciting new river terrapin projects – also turns up #5.

But do these keywords mean anything to me? Yes, because the keywords basically represent the topics that I have been blogging about in the past 9 months, which is quite a big range. But those search terms do not reflect what I want this blog to portray – a “little information hub” on turtles and a charity portal. And that brings me to a newer level – I recently bought another two domains, and I’m going to work on getting those two sites as specific as possible.

Anybody wants to join me?

    Woman, I swear your blog and your sister’s demands NOT to be read. Was wondering why bloglines wasn’t showing any updates from you in ages and when I check myself, update overload! Haha!

    pelf: Oh my.. You want to try unsubscribe and then re-subscribe? I diverted all my feeds to Feedburner, so I’m inviting you to try it out :)

    Anyway, got your card on 15th day :P

    pelf: Hhaha, it was still CNY, right?

    What are you planning for the new sites of yours?

    pelf: One for charity, and one for turtles. Turtles, my dear, non ninjas. You interested?
