Yesterday I played a while with the Google video search and noticed something new in the SERP’s…

While using several popular keywords the results are different then before; actually nothing special but this time I noticed very often a matching Wikipedia page within the top10 of the Google search results, try football or wordpress to see what I mean.

This way the user is able to get first information about his keyword without clicking around, just from the first result page…
I remember that community sites are often included in the first pages of the SERP’s, for example this Swicki has several visits every day referred by Google (I think). Maybe its time to create a Wikipedia page for your desired keyword(s) to promote a particular website…

While checking the Blogs of my blogotition “opponents” I came along this blog about some code I wrote before to gave an Adsense ad random colors…
Actually this code is not always needed Adsense users from other countries then the Netherlands and also Germany (???) are having the possibility to select more than one color schemes. While selecting more than one color schemes at the same tim, Adsense will show up an ad in random colors.

But for sure putting the color values into a php variable or better isolate the whole adsense code in one central file, makes it easier to change the adsense code on a later moment (maybe in one step for the whole site…)

The latest update of the Access_user Class was focussed on a better security especially while usage on shared web hosts. Philp Olson noticed me about the problem of session storage on most of the shared hosting platforms.

I added to the class an external object which is based on a Zend tutorial, this way it was possible to solve this problem very quick. Further the password strings are encoded after the user has entered his password and submitted the string to the database. Also the password stored in the cookie is md5-encoded now.

I created for the existing user a list of all code updates in as special thread of the Access_user support forum.

Is this target unreal? or do you need several years to get such a high ranking?
… we will see, a new blog claimed at Technorati is starting around rank #1.500.000

After a lot of blogging and several inbound links your blog is starting climbing. Today I checked the last blog in the Technorati top100: Currently you need more then 2800 unique links from other blogs to get there!

Between Webdigity members there has started today a little race: “which of their Blog will reach the Technorati top 100.000 as first”

Maybe it’s interesting to guess how much links a blog needs ;)… check here the forum post.
