Tech Ravings

In my excitement about setting up streaming as posted on Come Adventuring I looked to UrlBrief to shorten the url to the radio broadcast. I also made a tweet about how excited I was with the urlbrief link. Not thinking anything of it I just went about normal business.

Now keep in mind that UrlBrief also records for you to see where clicks have come from which make it very cool. So just as a grins and giggles idea I went back an hour later. Just to see. I about dropped out of my chair to see that google bot had already visited the links via the urlbrief url, and twice.

Not there are two ways that google bot could have done that: one is through the natural indexing of Come Adventuring, or; through Twitter. I’m guessing Twitter because Come Adventuring is way too new. Although it has a PR of 1, seriously it just doesn’t happen like that. Even by coincidence.

So I have another test running just in case. The Come Adventuring link above is url brief encoded. I’m going to let it run for an hour on this blog which Google has ranked spanked. I’ll post the details.

 Then I’m going to make a tweet about it. Then post after an hour.

I’ve spent years doing SEO/SEM and have never seen a quicker response from a SE. I can certainly attribute it to Twitter because, frankly, I don’t market this blog.
