HOME Eclectic	How to get a heart attack the Google way Yes, in case you did not know that yet, Google can give you a heart attack. I know, I know... They do say that they are in the search engine business, but that's pretty much first and foremost, because they can kill you too. Seriously.  I almost got a heart attack yesterday when I saw this. Yeah, this. It shows my daily traffic from Google. See how it dropped to just one (freaking one!) visit on November 10th. That's what almost gave me a heart attack. Well, fortunately things are back to normal. That was an example of the infamous Google shuffle. Every few months, things can get a bit dramatic because of that, but this drop was totally unparalleled.   I have a good position in search engines, in general. Here is another example for the same keyword, "emini trading systems" that is very relevant to my site. Now, that's from bing.com. Since bing is still very new, it probably needs some more time to figure out that I should be number one. But, to its credit, it features two links to my site on its top page, in spots 3 and 6. Which is nice. Yahoo, another search engine, does the same. These are all nice people. Or search engines... And, quite surprisingly, I even have a very good position for "ninjatrader indicators." I used to be on the top page of Google for this keyword. I am still on page number 2, very close to the top. That is because of the excellent NinjaTrader indicators for KING.  So if you are looking for emini trading systems or some neat ninjatrader indicators, you are quite likely to end up on this site. Welcome! Correction (added 11/15/09): It turns out that the last Google shuffle returned me to the first page of this search engine for "ninjatrader indicators." See it here. That would be spot number 6. Heck, I am higher than the sound majority of NinjaTrader business partners. Those poor suckers have yet to figure out that exchanging links with NinjaTrader is hardly a good way to beat the search engines. Or, I guess, anything else for that matter.
