There are perhaps billions of web pages, at last count, I read that Google indexes 2 billion pages.
I just wondererd how long it would take to visit every page on the web?
Impossible , perhaps.
Perhaps the technology to make visting multiple pages at once, can help. I heard of someone having 75 windows open simultaneously.
The point of my ramble is that there are far tooo many pages for anyone to stand out effectively.
There may be several strategies and techniques to create visitors, or impressions, eyeballs.
Marketers use the terms in driving traffic
The term Viral comes to mind, Buzz marketing is another.
Gooogle's algorithm allows your site be moved to higher position in its respective categories, based on keywords.
However, this situation is perhaps too fluid and dynamic , infact , what can be in top position can be supplanted in seconds.
Nothing lasts forever, seasons change and so does every situation.
The challenge now facing website owners is how to get your site noticed.
Build it and they will come, no longer applies here.
At this moment, the most visted site is MySpace, it will not stay that way, or should it?
There will now be several attempts at copying the manner in which MySpace got to be No 1.
Some may work for a while, other will certainly crash and burn.
I recently came across something that suggests we are perhaps entering into a new era in site promotion.
Stick with me for a moment.
Look at the internet as the ocean, wide and vast, consider websites as creatures that live in the sea, billions of creatures, analagous to billions of websites. Is there a king of the sea? king of fishes? king of creatures?
It might not be possible for anyone site to be category killer for any long extended period.
update...
As should be expected, what promised to be new technology turned out to be fraudulent, so the books are closed on this one.
The recent phenom is social networking and bloggging invokes a new era, I now wonder where this phenom is headed or will it last, how can this phenom be coupled with ecommerce? or should it..
A rather distressing comment that I read is that 95 % of the websites on the web are getting very little if next to no traffic, yet there are miilions of new pages everyday.
Why should the effort be expended to create blogs and new sites if they continue to be lost in the ocean?
Are we just wasting our time?
Too many questions, enough of my ramble for now...
