Prequel: I noticed that some pages were taking too long to load … I heard good things about WP Super Cache and I had tried it before, but it was messing up when toggling between web view and mobile view … randomly providing web users the mobile view, and mobile users the web view … I decided to give it another chance, tested, and it works … speeded up the site drastically.

Chapter 1: A week goes by and I notice a drop in site traffic … I analyze why and it’s mainly organic traffic from Google

Chapter 2: I perform a search for some of my main articles, such as Free Social Media Monitoring Tools. Result?

Buy Meridia Pill? Reliable Online Drugstore? WTF?! Where did this come from? I obviously never put that there … So I click through and it’s my regular content … but if I open the cached Google version, this is what I see:

If you don’t have time to microblog, nanoblog! — interactive marketing blog special.

I was out with some friends having a drink tonight when the conversation sparked a memory of a big prediction I had a couple years back.

You may remember me. I used to blog here. I can’t believe it’s been a week since my last post.

Recently it caught two live action roll players (LARP’ers) engaged in a harrowing battle for domination of the remote control for that evenings Lord of the Rings marathon.

If you don’t believe this is real then I insist you click the link and check it out for yourself. Make sure to switch on streetview and look around if it doesn’t take you there directly.
