]]> Comment on SEO in a world where the “SE” doesn’t “O” by Bruce http://skeymedia.com/seo-in-a-world-where-the-se-doesnt-o/comment-page-1/#comment-56812 Bruce Wed, 19 May 2010 15:16:34 +0000 http://skeymedia.com/why-bother-with-seo/#comment-56812 We live in Sacramento, not too far from Google headquarters. Our cousin works in Mountain View. Word is that the reason there is so much mystery about Google and their "system" relative to SEO is that with so many computer programmers, no one person really knows what effect his or her subroutines will have on the overall database in terms of page rank or any other aspect. That makes sense to me as a programmer. I used to work for a State department, and over time, the programs we used were passed along from generation to generation (one generation being about a year). It didn't take too long before a program was so large and so complex that a newbie just left the code the way it was and added a subroutine. That meant that if something broke, it was really hard to fix it without just programming around the problem. We were slowly creating a Frankenstein monster. It is inevitable, and in the meantime, people treated our department as if we were so smart, we had an explanation for every quirk of the system. That we were planning these effects. Nothing like that was happening at all. Same with Google. They just don't know, even on the inside. In a way that is good. But, in another way, the rumors one hears just add to the Godlike quality of Google's reputation, when in fact, no one will ever know for sure.

I'm getting into AJAX late in the game and was having a real difficult time with understanding how to get ASP data and use it with javascript, like it was a clash of two worlds. The instructions made it very clear - thanks. One issue I found is that the closing tags for the 'input' ASP value tags have a stray closing slash between the '%' and '>', as in: value="" This prevented the page from loading until corrected.

I wanted to drop you a quick note to impart my thanks. I've been observing your blog for a month or so and have picked up a heap of effective information as well as relished the way you've structured your site. I am attempting to run my own blog however I think its too general and I would like to focus more on smaller topics. Hi. I wanted to drop you a quick note to impart my thanks.

AJAX is NOT a replacement for ASP or ANY server-side language. It's simply the call method instead of traditional GET/POST. Mark, I think you’re mis-using one of the technologies then.
