No more "Did you mean..."

Mar 9, 2007

I just stumbled across an oldish post on Stuntdubl talking about how Google no longer comes up with "did you mean stuntdouble" when you search for his name.

Apparently Google is clever enough to figure out that the misspelling is actually not a misspelling.

Guess what...

"Ragepank" no longer suffers from "did you mean" as well. Previously, Google would suggest "ragepunk" as it's guess as to what you were looking for. Not any more. Ragepank is now a real word. Cool.

I'm not sure how long this has been in effect for, perhaps several months - I can't say I do vanity searches all that often.

I'm guessing this site has enough links and authority to not be considered a poorly spelled word.

All I can suggest is that you keep on building authority for your site - continue building links, and get your name mentioned in other high profile places.

If your name is mentioned enough in the right places, I'm sure the "did you mean" will go. But Adidas are giants, so I have no idea exactly how long this will take you.

You are very much correct.
Exactly thats my worry.

If i am going to fight with adidas.
i think it is bit difficult.

But i will try....
