Googling your website Courtesy of http://www.GeerCom.com.
Geer Communications - your on time technology writer!Welcome!

Have you ever Googled yourself? You go to Google search engine and put in your name and see how many hits come up and whether any apply to you (assuming you're not the only person with your name or necessarily even the most famous person with your name).

Well, you can also Google your website. Go to www.google.com and put in your domain and suffix, for example, joeblow.com, leave off the www. Mine is geercom.com. You can go to Google and search for that.

When the results come up, click the link that says "contain the term". You will see something like the following in the upper right hand corner in the blue-shaded line:
"Results 1 - 10 of about 9,340 for "geercom.com". (0.12 seconds)". In this case, the number 9,340 is the number of pages on the Web that are registered in Google that have published that domain name.

For me, this number helps to gauge my exposure, my marketing efforts. For you it can do the same, or simply fill up some time if you're bored or curious.

Best,
David Geer - your on time technology writer!
