Google’s index is broken
I was just listening to an episode of G’Day World, and Cam was mentioning that he owned Australian culture (Google g’day and his podcast ranks #5 or #6). So I thought I’d Google myself.
I hit up google.com, entered Colin Charles, and to my dismay, my blog ranks number 3 in the list. Its preceded by:
- Colin Charles Award Winning Wedding and Portrait Photography – it has the domain colincharles.co.uk and has a PageRank of 1
- Music Books, Charles Colin Publ Brass & Jazz Methods… – it has the domain charlescolin.com and has a PageRank of 3
And then my blog, which has a PageRank of 6. The above two websites have got the strings colin and charles highlighted in the URL, of course. So am I to understand that if I wasn’t bytebot.net and had my name in my domain name, I’d rank higher? Or is Google’s index just broken?

I think it’s the advanced version of Google’s relativity/relevance algorithm. I googled yusmar yahaya and it went straight to my blog. I guess, of all “colin charles” in the internetworld, you’re the most linked or talked about :) or there aren’t many colin charles around in the net, just as there aren’t many others with the same name as I am.
Hey Yusmar. Nah, scroll down, there are more colin charles listed on the net. My question now is, why do they rank domains higher in the list, than listening to their relevant pagerank?
If I’m linked to more, I should be at the top with PR=6, rather than the 3rd, being “beaten” by a PR=1 and PR=3 site, respectively
