1316395 2012-12-04 14:23:00 Ah that is interesting!

I got my first hit from the UK last night!

But I really want hits from New Zealanders.

I wonder what portion of kiwis use Google.com versus Google.co.nz ?

1316396 2012-12-04 17:52:00 Yes its seems that on Google.com my site is at the bottom of page 2.

Of course the real trick I want to achieve is a good Alexa rating.

I signed up with them to get verified the other day.

I wonder how long it takes for them to pick up any hits.

I know they work on a three month moving average.

From this guy most likely :)


Yes that did the trick.

It does redirect you if you go to the Google website first manually but Firefox has the automatic search set to google.com by default, meaning it won't redirect.

Cheers for clearing that up - Using IE at work - EW! (because I am FORCED to) And dare I say it but not even the better version - still on 7!!

I used to have a ladies lingerie site.

(The cross dressing question was just an internal test/note)

1316403 2012-12-12 06:25:00 I have changed the colour scheme of the website in response to your comments.

Do you think it is better ?

It needs a bit of tweaking of course.
