Google Enigma

I've been blogging here for over two months now, and Aard is steadily working its way upp the Technorati ranking scale. But Google hasn't taken any notice yet: it still considers the authority of this site to be a 0 on a scale of 10. Meanwhile, my old hibernating blog appears to become more and more authoritative. It used to be a 4 back when I still blogged there. Now it's a 6!?

It is, I gather National Poetry month... This one is a little over a thousand years old:
Friday. Prospies. Argh. Another week over, and another dozen prospies run ragged. So, Oh Mighty iPod One: what are they all going to do? Woosh goes the randmozier. Woosh.

Google doesn´t want you anymore...

Yahoo has the science blog as the number 4 hit under your name. Your old blog is still on the top of their search though. Everyone else I checked is still missing the new one though.

Thanks for checking! I wonder what Yahoo's ranking algorithm is like. I mean, Google is entirely aware that this site exists, it just doesn't seem very impressed with the quality of sites that link here.

Aha, thanks, that was news to me. But I don't think being sandboxed is the problem.

1. Entire domains are sandboxed, not new content on trusted domains like Scienceblogs.

2. Aardvarchaeology is crawled and indexed very promptly.

Google is just holding back on giving the blog a decent PageRank.
