The power of 37signals?
Remember petrolhead? That weblog I started about my on-track, motorsport-related experiences? (Actually, it started out as motoring, full-stop, but evolved as 7days7cars stole its material.) Well, despite it rarely being updated and having very few page hits, it’s #2 on a Google search for “petrolhead”. Given that there are loads of magazines, opinion columns and entire domains called petrolhead, that’s pretty impressive.
Wondering how on earth this ranking came about, I checked out the backwards links. Other than the link from this page, the only other page linking to me is a thread on Signal vs. Noise, where I accidentally entered the petrolhead URL as my web page (a copy and paste error). Can a link 37signals.com really wield this much power in Google’s searches? Bizarre.
