Your Online Presence
Posted by: Ralph van den Berg (11 January, 2008)
Having a webpage like this one is all about establishing an online presence. If your long lost brother or some serial killer is trying to find you, he or she types in your name in Google (for example) and you come up in the search results. Best thing would be if you were on the top of the list on the first page.
This happened. I searched for "Ralph van den Berg" and my webpage is the first result in the Google search. This won't always be the case, because Google tries to make life fair, even though we all know it isn't. Apparently there are a few other Ralph van den Bergs out there, who also want to be on top of the list. It turns into a kind of competition of who's got the newest, most relevant content, so if RalphvandenBerg.com keeps on being updated, the search results will be better.
I also tried searching for other members. The search for "Kendall Meade" was pointless. There are hundreds of other sites, about some folk singer, I think, also named Kendall Meade.
Darryl Crist, on the other hand, returned beautiful results. Two results, in fact, both being RalphvandenBerg.com, one for the home page and one for the Ramblings page, at the top of the list on the first page!
"Toh Phromchitmart" returned decent results, the only top result that beat RalphvandenBerg.com is some IMEEM, but still helps him with his online presence.
So, all you other members, get active, post comments and Ramblings, and watch your online presence form.
Comment here with your results.

Posted on 21 January, 2008One of the cool things is, when I know I'm the first search result for "Ralph van den Berg", I can type that in the Google Search, and then hit "I'm feelin' lucky!" and end up with my webpage right away!

Posted on 6 June, 2008I'm getting a lot more attention these days. The change that RalphvandenBerg.com version 2 has brought about has been nothing but positive in terms of hits from searches and referrals from Digg and StumbleUpon. Thanks to everybody doing a great job providing content, and I hope that you will keep doing it in the future. Let's make RalphvandenBerg.com the "happenin" site!

"But this is a great place to have that list! Think about the comments being an extension to the actual Rambling!"
