how to be popular on google

September 28, 2005 under Computers, Internet, Programming

You have to offer something that people will want to read, watch, use or listen to. Rants and ramblings on the price of gas/what you ate for supper last night/that weird smell that’s following you around and pictures of your ear probably won’t cut it. I think I’m on to something. People using Google are doing so on computers. Many computer users are also software developers or, in some manner, hackers (not the malicious kind). So to bring this up again, my C# code example for retrieving a computer’s/router’s external IP address (link) has become a fulcrum for this site ‘o mine.

http://www.google.pt/search?hl=pt-PT&q=retrieve+
external+local+ip+c%23+isp&meta=

http://www.google.com/search?q=unix+how+get+external+
nat+command+line&hl=en&lr=&client=safari&rls=en&start=30&sa=N

http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=c%23+WebRequest+
%22external+ip%22&btnG=Search&meta=

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=get+
router+ip+address+in+C%23

Within the past five days, these four Google queries have brought people to my site; ChrisBellini.com is the first result on two of the queries and sixth on the other two as of today. These are not the first of these queries; they’ve been happening since I originally posted my code. I’d like to think I’m helping fellow software developers who are faced with a similar task that I was and not script kiddies hoping to go down in infamy as a virus/worm/phisher/trojan/rootkit creator. Anybody think that a post about ethics in computing and programming will boost my Google Rankings? Meh. I’ll probably just submit it to Code Project and go back to talking about everything and nothing at all. 😛
