This load balancing post is a little bit cheeky.. as its a bit of an experiment with catching Google’s eye on the net, the Loadbalancer.org site does pretty well for the search term “Load Balancer”… but sucks big time for the second most popular term “Load Balancing”… Now I noticed that Loadbalancing.net gets a first search page result with no virtually zero relevant content so the domain name must help a lot!

I picked up load-balancing.org fairly quickly… but I really wanted loadbalancing.org and a domain squatter had that (sigh..) still I thought what the heck and made an enquiry and they said $2,000… The sales process was interesting as the vendor wanted to use www.Escrow.com, quite a clever little site as they held on to my money until the domain transfer was complete. It was a bit confusing as they had a PayPal button that didn’t work but it did give assurance that you were not buying from a conman.

Anyway slightly poorer now, I looked at trying to create possibly the worst looking web page ever! Concentrating on factual (ish) content and links to load balancing instead. Now the previous owner had a search result position of bottom of page 4 for a load balancing holding page with some click revenue streams, Lets see how high I can get this great site on Google as a load balancing FAQ.
I’ve tried not to make it a blatant advert like some of our competitors do, try searching for hardware load balancer and the top link is JetNexus’s little Google search term marvel….

If anyone thinks my Load Balancing site is the worst page ever… Let me know… And do you think I am morally corrupt?
Ps. Comments welcome, and I’m happy to change the content of the page if anyone has suggestions.
