Google for 'wine'

Google results depend on where you are looking from. As of today, typing wine into google.co.uk lists wineanorak as eighth (first among content sites, nearest competitors wineint.com and wine-pages.com), but fourth when you restrict the search to the UK (first among content sites; nearest competitors are wineint.com and thewinedoctor.com). I'm sure searching from other countries would give different results, and I don't know how these search rankings are calculated. But it's nice to be visible.

Impressive.

It means you've got lots of GoogleJuice. In fact, that should also mean that you can charge more for adverts on your site, as links from a highly juiced-up site confer more juice on the sites they go to....

When googling from Norway, I'm afraid you're only No. 24, wine-pages.com being No. 23 and Wine Spectator and Wine Lovers' Page being way ahead of you...

Thanks Jan-Tore. So how can I improve my Norweigan ranking?

and Jamie, bear in mind that you are probably the only person on that front page who hasn't paid to be there - I'm assuming ;-)

Cheers, Bill

Of course I haven't paid! Haven't even tried to optimize my site for search engines, nor bothered much with mutual linking.

I could put in a word for you...

Well, actually, I don't know how these things work, only that making an impact on Google and other search engines is one of those things that are being taught to web editors all over the place. It would be interesting to know what causes the differences between countries, though.

Hi, it means that the Google relevancy score for your site is deemed higher in this country than others. Since Google have a different algorithym for each country. The only guys that have paid to be on these pages are those marked as "Sponsored links" Anyway, back to the vino...
