Explaining the MUM SEIS Numbers - Reviewing Your Competition Within the Ranks

Although I have never been a publisher/producer who focuses hard-core on pleasing any major (or even minor) search engine with my own presentations, combing through your competition in terms of search engine index ranking can certainly provide a plethora of performances to review at one's leisure. 

The term "mega" originally began its travels upwards as a descriptive term implying largness/greatness and has held a powerhouse position for quite a few years prior to the dash to take Kim Dot Com to a courtroom hit the news circuitry.  So when the whole world was notified of the Mega Downloads world-wide take down via the news circuitry, I had taken an additional gamble on someday revisiting the stats I posted with a bigger chunk of time having passed.  I knew there would be sweeping shifts of rankings for all those who had held the term "mega" as a central focus of their existence.  It was unavoidable, especially with the rates and ratios of comments and commentary being scribed on centralized networking and/or news sites.  So how could I possibly explain such an "I know it will happen" position (excluding all of the known and unknown variables ya da ya da ya)?  It's a happening happening every time someone interacts with a piece of hardware and many know these events to be best viewed in forms such as Top 10 Keyword clouds. 

And although these trends are artificially fluffed and puffed from who knows where and by how much, if a developer can't re-trace where the action is coming at any given moment, a developer's heart can drop just as fast as a Top 10 ranking all of a sudden disappearing from the roster.  Tempting as it can be for even me to contemplate wrapping up this awareness in a flash and flare designed only to distract and instead crediting such awareness to some mystical, invisible power, there are not many core secrets that go into web development.  The need for commonality and commond ground is absolute and total, even if it is only between an individual and their own self, two people or two million and once common ground is determined, wrap it up and send it out FTP.  Handshakes cannot occur without cooperation and despite commonality representing the more predictable, the amount of socializing via the airwaves at any given moment does not need to be an exact and precisely reported number, however the popularity of a site can overcome some measures of design that are otherwise considered uncooperative(?) with the objectives of a search engine algorithm.

So it's now been a while since the original event and despite the string count update I've included here, it occurred to me that although this blog content made perfect sense when I originally cobbled it together as a part of a collection, a visitor might not understand what exactly was being displayed in such a simple numeric styling recording the total number of registered entries of a particular string via multiple search engines.  It's basically a display of consumer research as it relates to the good and bad of an organization responsible for a search algorithm.

While pulling together another project regarding search engine optimization concepts (boy do I miss my fiction sometimes!), I decided to pull together a different kind of custom index than what I have designed in the past.  In believing I am not the only one frequently disappointed with a choice to click on a site thinking the site will have content able to leave the searcher satisfied they visited, the string I was dealing with was top-heavy in the entertainment field...

The dollars and sense that goes into using the Internet for promotion of entertainment materials is not only a game-changer in terms of popularity in the indexes, but this type of popularity does seem to still translate into mega bucks for a large group of people to dream about...but never to touch.

Therefore, I thought it would help the numeric tracking I have posted here if I was to go ahead and offer up a similar hand-crafted index of elements of the term "mega" since the content on my site may very well have nothing to do with what you are looking for.  Many times one product will take over tens, if not hundreds or thousands, of entries in an index due to the sites hosting the content and scream if one must at any search engine for poor algorithm management when saturation happens, but it is not entirely up to a search engine to decide who has a right to host content and who does not.

This is part of why I have held a fairly unpopular position with some in the tech sector since I tend to refuse to design a site with any corporate search engine rules and guidelines in mind since having a site recognized by an index is a secondary event, not a primary.  The primary event is the interaction between an end-user and the site itself, not the interaction between an end-user first interacting with the summaries offered by any search index.  The public search indexes are just tools to aid publishers in attracting audience members that otherwise would not have found such content, sort of like a combo pack like in phone books.

It was my curiosity born from the other project that led me to develop this particular page to help those who found my site while looking for different "mega" content.  If you are looking to better understand what goes into any individual marketing strategy online, you have to think of this list as your competition and that it is your job to rise above the content providers listed below.  As this side of the science is constantly in motion, being able to perform a simple sort and separate of active participants does not provide precision details surrounding the 5 w's and the h of the site hosting the content, but it certainly can help determine whether or not someone wants to compete with the dollars already invested in content attached to each site.  This particular term is heavy with business and video games identities, which can signal a potential hard-core rise or fall in popularity through related activities pushing sites such as directories towards the top of the rankings, rather than single, solo content direct-connected to the identity.

This list also helps add potential explanation beyond any news surges causing any string at any time to rise and/or fall in the total index count for a word.  It also is an extremely short list despite the million plus entries with the word "mega" in it.  Hope this helps!  ***Items in this index have not been independently verified and validated as it relates to issues surrounding real or fake, false or true, etc.  *** The length of this blog entry may slow down computers with slow data connections.  Although I normally subscribe to a policy of keeping pages relatively short in scroll length, there is potential for more clarity and insight into the honest mechanics behind what causes any page to show up at any given moment in a position of relative credibility.  This is but a short list of any number and combination of possibilities as to what should be more likely to behaive and with what mannerisms. 

This is a highly competitive field with serious elements at stake and being able to evaluate the consumer side of these various products and services, especially in terms of credibility of content being cited as relevant and free of malicious behind-the-scene activities churning through the sites being recommended as something for someone to take a look at when they are searching for something.  Knowing the number of unique entries using a variety of generic identifiers such as what is used here can play a role in the decision making process of someone looking to participant in the search engine popularity race to rank well.
