Google, Yoogle, Woogle... what's up?!

[admin]

If any of you has any idea, why no search machine I ever tried will list XYplorer (nor TrackerV3) on any results page (I gave up looking after around 50(!) pages) when searching for obvious terms like "file manager", "windows file manager", "file management" etc. The most obscure sites about the most freaky, totally unknown, and brand-new weirdo-soft are listed, but XYplorer/TrackerV3 (8 years in the business) not. Huh???

Try "multi-tabbed file manager", it's every entry on the first page in the U.K. search!!

True, but "file manager" would be much nicer.

Yeah true... No results except in the 24th result of Dogpile:

I think it's because of the way the search engines take the text from your web page. If you described XY as "A File Manager with multi-tab facilities" or something similar, then "File Manager" might be picked up rather than the "Multi-tab..." description.

Hm. I mean you never know how search engines do it, but when I look at the sites that are actually found I don't come to your conclusion.
I'm watching this since long and I tried everything that came to my mind, playing around with text and keywords, but nothing helped anything. I almost think that I'm on some black list...

I'd try going to those sites that appear higher and using source view, look at what MetaTags they have...might give you some ideas on what is causing it...as I understand they use those along with other items, such as number of sites that point back to yours...

Well, of course I'm doing that ever since. Everybody does it. It's the natural way of playing the old ranking game. Only: no success.

XYPlorer 6th on google search:

I did same search via my own Google toolbar and got similar results!
It was #7 out of "about 150,000,000" which is pretty good, I'd say!

Any rare chance that my new XY blog and the related FeedBurner RSS may have any connection to this? It's more links back to XY site and more references in various places...I've also had to mention XY in a FeedBurner help forum to solve a problem related to the RSS emails...every little link helps, I think!

Here it is #5 of 194,000,000! Who knows, maybe google likes RSS!
