Fauxhemian like me
In what is quickly becoming known as googlegate (yes, really, it is), our Danish correspondent John Fogde has written in to advise us that Google's spiders have been neglecting him since July 4th, too. The Fauxhemian one ups the paranoid ante one stage further by suggesting that the date is somehow significant, and there may be some US-centric slant in the search engine stopping crawling so many European sites...do you see how once you've sown a few seeds of doubt in people's minds a conspiracy theory can really grow? Marvellous.
Dissappointingly though, there appears to be a flaw in this theory. For, if this was an act of spite against European sites insensitive to 9/11, then Tom would surely have been first up against the wall. Whereas, Google's spiders are still all over his site like a nasty rash on a festering cock.
Not that I'm drawing any comparisons, you understand =)
But if anyone has any serious suggestions as to why (I'm guessing there must be a boring technical reason) Google's spiders are still visiting plasticbag.org; notsosoft and linkmachinego while they're neglecting the rest of us, please let me know. Oh, and just that 'they're good' may be a correct answer in many ways but is not exactly what I'm looking for...
Of course, if you've got some wild, crazy, unsubstantiated and downright wacko theories you can get in touch too. In the words of Avid Marrion, I'm warm.
