Shoveling site between servers can be hazardous to your page rank.

There I maintained the old site for this blog zensory.com in order to keep the page rank around in case I wanted to utilize the name at a later time and what happened? - - When switching servers the apache entry for that site was not set up correctly and for a few month the site disappeared from the web.

Long enough for google to think it's good for good - and forgot all about it. But now that I have fixed the apache configuration this becomes an interesting experiment to see if google might have a memory. I would not expect the site to regain much of it's rank quickly, if at all, but this is what this experiment is about.

And this blog entry is a first attempt to tell Google that GeZi's Zensory.com is back.

This blog went away - at least as a blog it went away.

I did not want to waste the page rank 4 site zensory.com, so I kept the content for now rather intact, but static.

I used some tool to suck off the whole site and make static web pages from it and it is still available at www.zensory.com.

Surprisingly Google liked the new setup a lot better, because after only a short time a bigger part of the article pages are indexed, while before Google just disregarded everything that had fallen off the main page. Now I am wondering how I got the page rank without an apparent web site behind it.

But after my attempt to suck off the whole site through this utility I can understand that now. This utility had quite a few problems traversing the site, and so I guess Google had as well.

Any of the old rantings from this blog can now be found on www.MerlinSilk.com.
