Two coincident occurrences I just became aware of: my previous post about the redesigned Sirens website going live was my 300th, and since the redesign the site itself has risen from the 14th hit to the 10th–the coveted first page of results–in a Google search for Sirens.
Inexplicably, in the same time period it’s dropped from the 48th hit to the 123rd in a similar search on MSN despite being more standards compliant and well-linked internally (i.e. being more search engine-friendly). I’m not surprised… the msnbot hasn’t figured out that my personal domain has moved, either.
