Mathair & Athair beo.

Ta. Thankyou.

I've always been a bigger Angel fan than a Buffy fan anyway.

What is puzzling me now is if a google reflink (which new sites need to pay for bye the bye) isn't an electronic YellowPages add then what is it?

Fiona do you mean you're cracking up, there is good crack or you're on crack?
if 1) go lie down
if 2) yep.
if 3) Stad. A-nis. {{{{{{TLC}}}}}}

No, they don't. You can pay to get on Google quicker (but it's not guaranteed), but it's totally distinct from an ad. google's ads are down the right side or in the "sponsored links" box. Google crawls around the Web, looking for words, indexes them and ranks them according to Secret Rules. We get a high ranking because we get linked to a lot, among other reasons. It's not a Yellow Pages, it's something totally new.

I think Fay meant "I'm on crack" which is shorthand for "I'm talking nonsense".

Ooof. Thanks for that, Jim. For a minute there I was wondering where on earth I posted anything about crack.

So, no, Zoe, you're thinking about Fay; "maybe I'm on crack" is shorthand for "perhaps I'm not making sense"; I am neither cracking up nor on crack, and I don't understand (3) anyway.

Oops sorry Fiona (may I call you Fi?) I mistook you for FayJay.

Yes, once a site is established it is automatically detected by the web crawler robot, but to establish a new site, or home page on Google you have to wait until people start linking. Which makes establishing the site more difficult due to lack of feedback on design and content.

Meaning acknowledgement can work 2 ways and web design is a full-time job.

Edited for grammer and content.

Er, again, no: [link]

allows you to tell Google to come and crawl you in the next run. Free.

Really? Thanks.

It's OK. Actually I'm flattered to be mistaken for the sumptuous, most articulate FayJay.

And, um, I'd rather you didn't call me Fi, thanks. Only people who have known me personally for a few years do (and that includes Trudy).

Do you two EVER visit the Angel thread?

Is it spoilery to mention that the Jossverse Faith has been aborted!

Or possibly aborted?

Rarely - when I'm up to date with eps. I don't BT, so that relies on a (very reliable) tape fairy. Fiona's tape fairy is incredibly unreliable , but has, i can confirm ACTUALLY POSTED IN THE POST OFFICE WITH STAMPS AND EVERYTHING 5 tapes this lunchtime. Promise.
