Google alerts

Google Alerts:

Ever since Charles gave me the heads up on Google Alerts I've been having
a blast trying to find fashion stuff as well as my own netimages.biz.

I've been trying to force certain keyword searches by including them in my
web site but they don't seem to be working. At least not the ones I want.

I hate to admit but I've been spying on

What do you want to know, specifically?
I can give you the scoop, but I don't know how much you know about SEO already.

Yeah, I was wondering why the Google Alert {which is a search} didn't show up the same thing as a google search ?
{ie: the "falbala +montreal" search}

And do you know how the alerts work ? Like why does it show stuff one day and not the next? Like even older stuff shows up ? {as well as web pages that don't even exist anymore ?}

Google is constantly changing and constantly updating. The days of the "google dance" where it changes one a month are long gone. So, these alerts are from their very latest crawl. My best guess is that they're different because it goes through a bit of process before any changes or results appear on the final google page. You can see google changing through it's various servers with this tool.
So, in short, my hunch is that these alerts are the latest results from the very last crawl of the web, and that those results will be mixed in with google's previous results using some double-secret formula to come up with the final search results for google.

ps Get some links in to your site to up your page rank, and change your page titles to reflect your keywords :D

Eh eh, thanks for the links! :-)
I should add more tracker to my pages to see from where my visitors are coming from. (And you should do the same!)

I have a full set of stats provided by Dreamhoster.
I'm really not impressed by the referrers...

How did your shoot go ???
I think I saw some pics of you outside :)

[cbeauche]

The shoot was cool! actually, hot...
That's why we decided to shoot mostly outside. I was a perfect day for that.
Pictures will be coming soon. (I hope!)
