Webmaster – retsambeW
Seeing that www.webmasterstimulus.org has climbed quite quickly in the serps had me questioning if Google can recognize a variation of the word even if it was completely backwards?
Maybe Google recognized the association between the words because of the sites that the words are mentioned on? Most of the sites with “sulumits retsambew” also have “webmaster stimulus” in them, such as this blog discussing the SEO contest. To see what might come up on a search I tried “snru noitamerc” which is “cremation urns” backwards. I used quotes after getting what looked like another language and one site came up. That site was elgoog – which is Google spelled backwards! That test failed with flying bruises, since the whole page was reversed along with the title, etc…
Sulumits – stimuluS
Retsambew – webmasteR
By adding these words within the same content, will the big G start to put the two together? When you search for “retsambew” will Google recommend “webmaster”? I am betting it will soon enough. Will semantic search add those variations to the results? Don’t get me started on the semantic search business now………
