Google Semantic Blunder

Just realized the importance of RSS search engines when looking at my traffic logs, realizing that one of the top 10 search strings leading visitors to my site is the phrase “iShuffle sucks”. Type this into Google and my page for entries tagged with music comes up as number 18. The problem here is that I don’t think the iShuffle sucks, in fact I think it rocks (but I did point out a few minor mistakes in the design the other day)!

What happens is here that Google mixes up this post with the post about Beatport and why it sucks! This would never have happened if Google had the least idea of the fact that it’s indexing a blog with separate posts about separate things! I find myself turning more and more to search engines like Technorati and Del.icio.us these days, and this little happening gives me all the more reason of doing so.
