No longer number one in Google but we are number 1 in Google.
Posted by Paul Sturgess on September 18, 2009
Strange how our SEO blog post that achieved number one in Google for that very search term has now dropped completely off the search results.
Certainly we’re not within the first 6 pages returned. It makes us wonder if the article has somehow been blacklisted for that particular term.
Even more strange is that we are number one for the term “number 1 in Google” – we didn’t even try to optimise for that search term. View screenshot.
Update (12/10/09)
It would appear that our article has been re-instated at the number one position. Amusingly above a new website that has appeared since I first wrote the original article with the domain name ‘numberoneingoogle.co.uk’
The Kyan soundtrack
Posted by Paul Sturgess on September 18, 2009
Like any office there are a wide variety of musical tastes represented amongst us here at Kyan.
Through our communal jukebox these tastes come together to form a musical backdrop to our time spent working in the office.
A few months back we created a last.fm account, hooked up the Jukebox with the last.fm api and now we are recording a full history of our playlist with some 10,000+ tracks ‘scrobbled’ so far.
Here’s the top 5 artists we’ve been playing the last few months…
1. Lone
2. Yeah Yeah Yeahs
3. Florence + The Machine
4. Little Dragon
5. Gorillaz
Our current top 5 artists of all time are…
1. Yeah Yeah Yeahs
2. Lone
3. Mr Scruff
4. The Beatles
5. Röyksopp
That top 5 artists list changes quite regularly, but it’s an interesting snapshot.
Those artists have certainly been helping us drown out the constant drilling from the building work going on over the road from us on Guildford High Street.
New website design for Rokeby School
Posted by Paul Sturgess on September 09, 2009
With the new school year underway, we’ve just launched a brand new look and feel for Rokeby School.
We first developed the Rokeby School website back in 2006 and it’s served them well. In fact, under the hood it hasn’t changed a great deal, we’ve just given it a fresh new face. Our design team have gone for a more open and magazine-style layout utilising more screen real estate that modern screen resolutions allow us and we also created a matching email newsletter template that uses the brilliant Campaign Monitor emailing system.
Over the years we’ve worked with quite a few Schools, Educational trusts and local authorities. Read more about our websites for schools.
