Google page clicking report -- Week 36 - edited September 8

Site --------------------4/9-------5/9-------6/9-------7/9-------8/9-----

www.google.nl ------ 12.5 ---- 13.2 -- 14.7 --- 13.5 --- 13.10 ---
www.google.com ----- 2.4 ----- 2.7 ---- 2.7 ---- 2.5 ---- 2.6 ----
www.google.co.uk ---- 3.10 --- 3.10 --- 3.10 --- 3.6 ---- 3.6 -----
www.google.de ------ 17.6 --- 17.8 --- 18.7 --- 17.2 --- 17.6 ----
www.google.fr -------- 7.4 ----- 8.2 ----- 8.8 ----- 7.5 ----- 7.7 ----

The alarming decline at the start of the week was stayed and the numbers recovered somewhat, but have not recovered previous values.

So the up-and-down continues. There is almost no long-term improvement. I wonder how many people are clicking now, and how often? (I click once a day, at the start of the day).



To avoid a double post, I'm sticking week 37 behind last week's report.

This is still so incredibly frustrating. I don't understand the ups and downs at all! I probably click 2 or 3 times a day on google uk. In the morning we could be on page 3, lucnhtime it could be on page 2 and by the time the evening comes its gone back to page 3 again. I can't believe that the members of any other site are putting in more effort than we are VTM. I have had everyone I know with a myspace to post a link to VTM, nad it all seems to be to no avail.

Thanks for your reports Annie they,ve been really interesting.

www.google.co.nz - 2.6

Up one place from last time I checked wink.gif Click click click! Go VTM!

Nicky
even though I'm new, I'll still click along with the rest of you, because I love this place! biggrin.gif

hm....vtm is 9th on the second page on google.ca... sad.gif

clicky clicky!!!!

Mod Edit: That's a short post. You know better then to post them.
*col*
Oh dear. Bad news for www.google.co.nz. Veritaserum is now at position 2.9 - down three places. I need to click more (and also because there ain't many Kiwis on here). Some websites that are placed above VTM shouldn't be - like www.lego.com/harrypotter huh.gif

Hi.
I just want to say recently I have been using Google Aus. to get onto this site we are
5th place on Page One. WOO HOO!! Mind you that is Australia.
Triad
Well during the 10 hours or so since you posted mjane, we've dropped to number 1 on page 3. Number 5 on page 1 is TheSiteThatShallNotBeNamed (for those who don't know the code it's *shudders* Mugglenet). We've really got to get all Aussies to click the link. I desperately want TSTSNBN off the front page!!!!

I wonder if we can buy our way to a permanent spot on the front page??? I bet TSTSNBN has done it, they never seem to move spots. mad.gif
Golden Phoenix
Yay! VTM was down to last on page 3 this morning but now... it's moved up 4 whole places! tongue.gif That's on google.co.uk by the way. So now we're back up at 3.6!! Woohoo! biggrin.gif I'm really sorry if this post is too short, I'd just thought I'd let you all know that!
LouRan20
update! google.com 2.3

I think that's an improvement? Hopefully. But you never know, do you? It can change in seconds.

Here's the Google Clicking Report for week 43:


Site --------------------22/10-----25/10----26/10----27/10----29/10----

www.google.nl -------- 12.3 --- 12.8 ---- 12.8 ---- 12.5 ---- 12.1
www.google.com ------ 2.5 ----- 2.5 ------ 2.5 ----- 2.6 ------ 2.6
www.google.co.uk ---- 3.8 ----- 3.9 ----- 3.9 ------ 4.2 ------ 3.7
www.google.de --------32.6 --- 31.10 --- 32.2 ---- 34.6 ---- 29.6
www.google.fr --------- 8.6 ----- 8.5 ----- 8.6 ------ 8.5 ------ 8.4

I keep on clicking, but it doesn't make much difference. Germany contrinues to show poor results except for today -- let's hope it is heralding a brighter future for VTM in Germany.
PhoenixTears
For some reason, I can't seem to get onto google.com, Bumblebee. Whenever I type www.google.com, it links me to google.ca. Should I just click there?

~PhoenixTears
Bumblebee
Hello, PhoenixTears! Google will automatically set itself to your own region. If you have a localised Google, you should have "Go to Google.com" at the bottom of the home page.

To save myself some time, I click on the link of the foreign pages in the list of my browser history -- to get a particular Google search page into the history, just select "Go" again when you're on the page.

Good luck!

I just tried the uk one and VTM is 3:9
Caoo
I think you all would like to know this:

In google Norway, VTM is on the first page!! biggrin.gif It's 1.6! I mean.. the first page! That's what we've been trying to reach, right? And now we're there! Not in the other countries, I think, but it's a start.. definitly a start.

Congratulations, everyone! smile.gif We're on the first page!!
i am the ultimate prankster
hey,
i'd like to help with the outreach of veritaserum i've already posted the website on my myspace page but i want to know how else i can help!!! thanx! biggrin.gif
Lil Cougar
Hi everyone!!
I just went through google to get here and we are now 2.3 ! biggrin.gif We are getting closer to the first page! YAY!! biggrin.gif
amarie.
Hi everyone! I was just looking at this thread and decided to do a quick search and we are currently 2.5 on the plain google.com. That is if 2 refers to the page number and 5 refers to how far down Veritaserum is... that 's how you've been doing it, right?
Unfortunately this means we're moving down.

Well, I also decided to try google.de, since my mom's from there and I speak it, but I couldn't find it. I was a little tired of it and just skipped ahead to about page 30, and looked until page 36. Maybe I missed it, but I don't think this is helping in Germany that much.
lsort
hey peeps!! nobodys mentioned the Irish one www.google.ie
VTM is on the 13th page 8th one down and im still clicking away like mad!!! hehe!! tongue.gif i will not rest till VTM get to the 1st page on EVERY site!!!!! (damn i cant go without sleep that long!!) umm... actually il umm... just forget it But il continue clicking!!! biggrin.gif

Aniiuum
hey!

my friends aren't fans of HP and they don't know this page, but when i'm On line on my msn, i send the link of VTM and i told them about this "project" of raising the level of VTM.. Ive had good results: my cousin and three friends of mine are addicts of VTM now, and they're keeping their promise to search in Google and everything!

I searched "Harry Potter" on the Google that I have (.mx) and it's on the 9th page.. so let's try to raise it up! I'm doing my best folks haha

hey peeps, .mx is on 9.6!

I promise it WILL raise up!! **fingers crossed**

love
anium <3
zoabella
Hey, I'd love to help! I'll start right now.

Off to Google, be right back! biggrin.gif

Edit:

I messed up, I was looking way back in the pages.I thought it was 9.6! Stupid me.

At plain google.com, Veritaserum is 2.7. I'll keep clicking.
Aniiuum
hey folks! good news!

I spent my whole afternoon clicking and it worked it out!

.mx is now on 9.2!! it raised 4!! yaaaay!!

i'll keep clicking! wink.gif
Aniiuum

hedwig_321
Hey guys!just wanted to say im gonna devote my self to the task.I've told all my friends about G.O.P.E.E.V.E.S and that there helping too.Just wanted to ask if this operation is gonna help us get on to My Webpageso thanks. rolleyes.gif
Equusfixer
I think this is only my second post since joining, I hope I'm doing it properly!

Anyway, I just wanted to put the word out that I've been clicking at least once per day on two to three of the google sites listed on the first page of this thread. Usually I go to the main google, then the aussie google, then the UK google. Sometimes I look back and try to click a few times on the googles that list the forum several pages back.

I hope it's working! I'm sort of an old lady compared to some Harry Potter fans but since I'm in vet school I am in the campus library all day when I'm not in class-so I have time to click when I'm taking a short break from studying.

Now I'm off to read some more of the rules and click on google a few times.

Equus

Ok, since my last post I've not been able to spend any time on the internet (all this learning is getting in the way of my posting and clicking! wink.gif )

But I'm back now for a little bit, and I've clicked on Netherlands ( http://www.google.nl/ ) and we were down to 18.8! Yes, page 18, 8th on the page! ohmy.gif I was beginning to despair that I'd ever find us. My mission is now to bring us up as far as I can.

here http://www.google.co.nz/ we are at 2.9
zoabella
At plain old google.com, VTM is at 2.2!!! Up five points!!! Yaya! I'm going to keep clicking, we're going to get on page one!!!!!!!!

PAGE ONE, HERE WE COME! biggrin.gif
justin
i love this because that is the way i get here because i cant spell veritaserum so i just punch it in

also its now first one on the second page !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
zoabella
On my computer it's the second on the second page... Hmmm... Stupid Google. dry.gif

HUGE_Harry_Dan_fan
I went to google.com and typed in Harry Potter sites and on my computer veritaserum is on the 1st page and it is #3 on the 1st page
I wonder how it is like on everybody else's computer

1 more time.... i typed in Harry Potter and VTM is 2nd page and it's #4
zoabella
Well, what we're doing is googling "Harry Potter", and that's it.

Edit: I just googled it again, and it's 2.4 sad.gif
HUGE_Harry_Dan_fan
Yea......I figured that out after I read the first post blink.gif laugh.gif

I was just clarifying, it would be kind of embarassing for you to be googling "Harry Potter Sites" and saying that it was 1.3 or something, when it really was something else.
Was just making sure you got that. 1eye.gif
HUGE_Harry_Dan_fan
Oh, and also I just googled Harry Potter again and it's Still 2.4!!!!!!!!! mad.gif sad.gif
zoabella
AURGH! mad.gif

So it went down two points since March 9th. How does that happen? huh.gif
Louise
Are we still doing this then? I thought we'd decided against it because there were concerns about Google picking up on what was going on?

Well...until I find out more, could we please try and remember the no one-liners rule in here wink.gif

Thanks.
zoabella
Sorry for the one-liners. sleep.gif
Why would you stop having G.O. P.E.E.V.E.S.? It's awesome. sad.gif

Mod Edit: Hi there, mate! Try making your posts two lines at least, please. Shorter than that is a bit short, really.
Louise
Well, not really...

I've just found this at Google -

Sites' positions in our search results are determined based on a number of factors designed to provide end users with helpful, accurate search results. These factors are explained in more detail at http://www.google.com/technology/index.html.

In general, webmasters can improve the rank of their sites by increasing the number of high-quality sites that link to their pages. For more information about improving your site's visibility in the Google search results, we recommend reviewing our webmaster guidelines. They outline core concepts for maintaining a Google-friendly website.

QUOTE
As you may know, our search results change regularly as we update our index. When we add new sites and incorporate updates to the content of existing pages, pages in our search results shift. Some will be ranked higher than before for a particular keyword and others lower.

These changes are completely automated. It is certainly our intent to represent the content of the Internet fairly and accurately. To learn more about how Google determines sites' positions in our search results, please see http://www.google.com/technology/index.html

Occasionally, fluctuation in ranking could be due to differences in our data centres. When you perform a Google search, your query is sent to a Google data centre in order to retrieve search results. There are numerous data centres and many factors (such as geographic location and search traffic) determine where a query is sent. Because not all our data centres are updated simultaneously, it is possible to see slightly different search results depending on which data centre handles your query.

While we cannot guarantee that any page will rank consistently in our search results or be included at all for that matter, our webmaster guidelines offer helpful tips for maintaining a Google-friendly site. In general, webmasters can improve a site's visibility in our search results by increasing the number of high-quality sites that link to it.


So from what I interpret out of that, clinking links from Google really isn't making much of a difference - sadly. It's being linked from "high quality sites", whatever that means.
the-next-big-thing
As far as I can tell, clicking must make some difference because veritaserum has gone up. So I'm going to join G.O.P.E.E.V.E.S. and get clicking! biggrin.gif
justin
well the wikipedia thing is extremely enlightening and very well written

but personally i think we can do better than this

its 2.4 we should step up (good movie) and get more clicking
we're slacking and letting lesser sites be ahead of us
Louise
It wasn't wikipedia, it was from the Google help pages.

Okay then, I'll let it slide, but I'm going to turn off posts counts in this forum. The one liners and short posts won't matter then. Knock yourselves out.
alexander
All right, well as for the program, I'm on. It must make at least a small diffenrence. Also, something that we could do; look for any of the sites that allow you to advertise and ty to get on as many high-qualty sites like Wikipedia, Yahoo, Msn, stuff like that.

We're still on page 2 line 4 but as for google's pagerank, which is their idea of how important a stite is, we are merely 6/10. We can do better
deatheater13
I just googled it on the US site and it is 3.7. Also, does it matter if I capitilaze "harry potter"? I haven't been, but should I be?

And how dare Google say that VTM is not that important.
jyliiibean
Im new on this whole G.O.P.E.E.V.E.S. thing, but im really into it. ok, so i just got on and tried all the search engines on the first page and here is what i found on all of them:
US: 3.6
UK: 9.6
Australia: 5.3
Canada: 5.4
Netherlands: 22.5 (AHHHH!!!!)
Germany: Couldn't find, stopped at page 25
France: 19.3
Italy: 10.7
South Africa: 7.3
Kenya: 4.3
Spain: 19.5
Belgium: 15.3
Potugal: 10.8
Switzerland: 18.5
Denmark: 18.1
Norway: 8.7
Iceland: 7.3
Greenland:18.1
Mexico: Search Engine wouldn't work
Japan: 6.10

So, basically, were not really doing that well, so lets keep working!!!!!!!
deatheater13
I used some of the foreign googles on the first page (honestly, I'm to lazy to use all of them). This is how we're doing:
US: 3.6
UK: 10.1
Austrailia: 5.4
Canada: 4.9
Netherlands: 20.8
South Africa: 7.4
Spain: 20.5
Germany: I stopped looking after page 30. It's hard to believe we're that low sad.gif
France: 15.8
Italy: 10.5
Kenya: 3.10
Belgium: 13.2

That's all I did. I might do some more later but don't count on it. I have come to the same conclusion as jyljoc, we're not doing very well, and although in some countries we've risen in rank, I think we're lower in just as many.

As I was googling, I noticed that in almost every search engine, we are lower than Mugglenet, Harry Potter Lexicon, and even iTunes! I can't stand that an awesome forum like VTMis getting beat by a music store mad.gif I have decided that in addition to my daily googling on the US site, once a week I am going to google on all of the search engines I can find. I hope that y'all will join me.
