Most of you don’t know this, but I have an undocumented feature on Darryn.NET : every time I get a hit on the website the server makes a ‘bing’ sound. Tonight it made that sound while I was wondering what to do, so I decided to check the server logs. I was geekily delighted to see something that I have been hoping for for a long time, the string “crawl1.googlebot.com”. This means that I am now on the google database, and you can find me on google!
Google has been my favourite search engine for a bit over 18 months now, and the way it works is this: a site only gets into their database if another crawled site links to it. So getting into google is an achievement for a measly personal site like this one, and now that I am in there, evryone I have linked to is also Google-ised. Check, if you don’t believe me.
