Some things going on in Google

I think Jeremy is right. When I was back from trip, I found my site getting lots from hits from Google, even I haven’t blogged for 6 days then. And that’s because of my blog entry before Matrix Reloaded. On about 17/May to 21/May, it was the first link coming out in google no matter you’re searching for understanding/explaining/what’s happen in Matrix Reloaded (well, it seem lots of people don’t get what the hell happening in the movie).

I was surprised with that even though I was blogging about Animatrix (the anime series about Matrix). But then starting 22/May, the page never showed up again with same searching term, not anymore the first result. I then wondering it might due to lots of movie review of that movie was out and so they got higher ranks. Nope, not really, I found a few days later that googlebot seem treating my blog as the traditional static web pages rather as Blog?! Google is seem in a progress to take effort to remove blog from its search. It now showing your main blog URL instead of individual archive even you specifically search for that. Well, you could get away from that if you blog long enough in web. If you are new then probably google think it’s good enough to cache all but only display your main entry page.

Is it a smart move? Let’s wait and see what google is going to bring to the web, even it is pressure from commercial aspect.
