Taxes are evil

If everyone knew about Objectivism,

You’d never have to pay taxes again.

When I search Google for “Ayn Rand” or for “Objectivism”, I see the OO.net ad

However, in the the main search listing:

  1. “Ayn Rand”: OO.net is not listed on the first page

  2. “Objectivism”: OO.net is number 8 on the list. In my opinion, this does not reflect its real relevance to someone searching for the term “Objectivism”.

In this blog, Scoble from Microsoft gives an example of how a change of ‘Title’ tag helped bring a law-firm site to number 1.

Here, at OO.net, the title for the forum pages says “Objectivism Online Forum…”

However, the main site says “ObjectivismOnline.net”. I wonder if adding a space in the title of the main page would make a difference?

The original paper about search by the founders of Google might have additional ideas (I have not read it yet).

Many people ignore the ads. When they search, the top-ranked sites gets their main attention. OO.net should be among the top 3 in the “Objectivism” search. This ought not require gimmicks that temporarily “trick” a search-site “crawler”, but it might require something to help their computer make a more “intelligent” decision.
