I've just been taking my daily run through the statistics for feed-squirrel.com and noticed that traffic has almost doubled since the day before. Freak occurrence? High traffic site linking in? Well partly… Yesterday, we did get a couple of reasonable traffic links from out and about on t'internet, but mainly it looks like Google has done some shifting of data.

As feed-squirrel.com is still relatively new, in the eyes of the search engines, the site was small-fry. Yes, there were a load of indexed pages, but as far as Google went, nothing in the way of incoming links.

Well, yesterday that changed, Google awarded feed-squirrel a page rank of 7 and suddenly started showing over 800 inbound links to the site. Traffic has doubled as result.

So what does this tell us? Well, for me it says, that no matter who you are on the net, no matter what you do, if Google doesn't like you then you are more or less screwed. Yes, there are other search engines, but these days Google is the tour guide of the internet.

Does anyone else feel that this might be a bad thing?

Late last night (Feb 13), our latest project - feed-squirrel.com went live to the masses. Whilst still very much in development (hence the beta moniker) the site has been received to a healthy response from the Coldfusion community.

Over the next few days, we will be adding a few new bits and pieces to the site, and hopefully introducing XML-RPC notification so the site can update a lot quicker than current.
