Your Site Can Be Found On Google Faster

Google released its new website indexing system, Caffeine, this week. With the rapid growth of websites and information on the Internet, it was beginning to take longer than the standard month’s time for Google to index everything out there.

Let me explain in Layman’s terms: once a month, Google would send out their spiders to capture all the information they could on websites all across the Internet. With a new domain name registered every SECOND at GoDaddy.com alone, one can imagine all the websites that are popping up. This has in turn slowed Google’s indexing of the information.

The new Caffeine system is supposed to work much faster and get everything from websites to blogs to forum content. Thank you, Google, for making it even easier to access pertinent information. If you or your company needs help with your website or getting it moved up in the search engines, email me.

Here is the full story on Google Caffeine.

Was That The Sun I Felt?

What a great weekend. Spent Friday night at home on the couch, went out with some friend I hadn’t seen in quite some time on Saturday, and may have even squeezed in a real late night ATV ride after I got home. Apparently, my cell phone fell out while I was riding so Sunday morning I took my dog for a short hike on the trails so I could find it. Found it three feet away from a big nasty mud hole. Thank God for trails running through the part of the neighborhood that hasn’t been developed yet!

Cleaned the house, washed the car, and helped some friends work on a barn on Sunday. Busy weekend. Going to be even more going on at WebMedley.com this week. We signed the Kentucky Horse Park on Thursday of last week, had another productive meeting with Freedom Dodge on Friday, and are tying up the final edits on sites for the Carnegie Center for Literacy, National Capital Presbytery, Associates in Neurology (two sites for them), Hanna Resource Group, and Kimble & Clark Law. All of these sites will be going live in the next 1-2 weeks.

Warm weather and a little rain this week. I’ll take it over cold any day. I keep thinking I have a meeting Monday morning but I don’t. Off to bed…

WebMedley Works With Coach Calipari and Makers Mark

Calipari Bourbon Bottle to Make Sweet Music

LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 1, 2010) Building on the past success of the Maker’s Mark/Keeneland charitable bottle series that supports projects at the University of Kentucky, Maker’s Mark and Keeneland are continuing the program with the celebration of UK basketball coach John Calipari, whose likeness will be featured on the bottle this spring.

The popular coach will team up with University of Kentucky Symphony Orchestra, Maker’s Mark and Keeneland to raise money for a unique extension program highlighting the performing arts for elementary school children throughout the Commonwealth.

“It’s an honor to team with Maker’s Mark and the university in this unique fundraising opportunity to help benefit the UK Symphony Orchestra Outreach Program,” said Coach Calipari. “I’m not sure the world is ready for my face on a bottle, but if it helps the university, I’m all for it. I hope all our great fans will support this worthy effort.”

Maker’s Mark will produce 24,000 numbered, limited edition bottles honoring Calipari, and they should be available statewide Friday, April 2, opening day of Keeneland’s Spring 2010 meet. The bottle should retail for about $49 if retailers take their normal markup.

A bottle signing, scheduled the day of the Grade-1 Maker’s Mark Mile, will be held Friday, April 9, trackside at Keeneland, with Calipari, Samuels and Nicholson. In an effort to better accommodate the growing legion of fans who attend the Maker’s Mark bottle signing at Keeneland, a few guidelines and a new ticketing procedure is being established. Details on the ticket procedure for the bottle signing will follow later this month from Keeneland.

* Proceeds from the eBay auction for a guaranteed place in line will be distributed evenly with 50% benefiting our Foundation and the other 50% benefiting UK’s music outreach program.
