You've found the blog of Jere Matlock, a web designer and writer. This journal is mostly about writing, web design and getting sites to the top of the search engines (SEO is my business). It is also full of opinions and observations about pretty much everything. If these things are not of interest to you, feel free to go now. Go on, shoo!

Still here? If you have something to say, post a comment or send me an email.

By the way, if you feel like taking offense at something posted on this site, go right ahead, it won't bother me a bit. Kingsley Amis has a nice quote about that, in which I take solace and some pride when the flames arrive:

"If you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing."

Fun With “My Page Rank Is…”

This interesting button Get your Google PageRank

is coded thusly:

<a href="http://www.urltrends.com/" target="_blank"
 title="Get your Google PageRank">
<img src="http://www.urltrends.com/pagerankimg.php"
border="0" height="25" width="100"
alt="Get your Google PageRank" /></a>

It is available from URL Trends

It goes and gets your PageRank from Google and displays it on your site.

Of course, if a bazillion people start doing that, it will give URL Trends significiant PageRank. Nice gimmick. For URL Trends. Not worth beans, otherwise, unless to stoke the fires of obsession of those fixated on their own Google PageRank.

All the kids in the neighborhood are going to want one now!

I’m much more interested in how a site does when this kind of search string is searched for at Google:

jmblog.com -site:jmblog.com

That’s the best measure of the actual number of links that Google knows about for any site, that I’ve been able to come up with.
