Search Engine Suicide
Is the Internet out of control?
Every hour of every day, more domain names are registered, more websites created, more web pages published, more blogs created. How many in vain? How much more garbage littering the Internet?
It’s never been more critical to be Relevant on the Internet. To be relevant is to have the possibility of being immediately found when searched for, the Holy Grail of Search, and every website owner’s dream.
And yet, the Internet is littered with the wreckage of failed web pages, put there by well-meaning and hopeful individuals who did not realise their creation was doomed to failure from the outset. Or worse, being paid for a result they can never achieve.

So it’s time to accept Responsibility. Time to Take Control. Time to know the Rules of the Game. And play the Game to Win…
Simple, basic Rules which include "Thou Shalt Not Have an Untitled Document" as your web page if you want that page to be found.
Trouble is of course – where do you go to find out these Rules? How much will it cost you? How do you trust the source?
