Google weirdness
I was talking with someone the other day about google people's names. I used to google my name when I first started blogging just to see what would come up. It had been a while so I decided to google my name today. I am lucky, as Damon Ledet seems to be a pretty unique name combination, so to my knowledge the results usually pertain to me. Any other "Damon Ledet"s out there? I would love to know if someone else has the same name. Back to the google weirdness, It returned 7670 results for a search of "Damon Ledet" I could not see how this was possible, I start going thought the results and at page 91 google stops returning 901-909 of 7670 results. I took a screen shot below. So really I have 909 results but for some reason the index thinks I have 7670. What is up with that?
Hey, random reader from ATLbloggers.net RSS feed, but thought I'd explain this bit of Google Weirdness. The second number (7,670) of results includes every page in Google's index with your name on it, including every page of your blog, every page of any blog that has your link on the side of it, etc. In other words, a lot of repeats. The first number (909) of results is simply the results showed to you, without repeats. For example, on that screenshot, it doesn't show every single post on basilsblog.net separately, only the first 3 most common pages, even though your name appears on each individual post page as well, all of which are indexed by Google. Hope that helps!
