   gwendymomposted 16 years ago

   I just came up with a new idea for our topic, I already wrote mine so if anyone wants to use this idea it's up for grabs
   
   the big bang theory
   a history of bangs in hairstyles.

   This my entry into the hubmob. Every hubmob needs a DJ and tonight I'm spinning the 80's.
   PLUS you'll get a glimpse of me with hair on my head. BAH!

   Oh screw it!  I've been trying to figure out how to make a screenshot for half an hour, it ain't workin'.
   
   So, I'll just tell you....hairdo's 1950's brings up my hair hub on Google's page 1 (one), 4th from the top - well above the fold.  If you take out the apostrophe (hairdos), it's still on page 1, but second up from the bottom.
   
   Yippee!

      I finally discovered an easy way to make screenshots after all of this time. 
      
      1. Hold down ctrl, alt, prt scr all at the same time.
      2. Go up to file and select save page as.  Make sure to save page under the picture file on your hard drive.
      3. Click on my documents and then open my pictures.
      3. Your file should be in my pictures.

      ONE BIG MOB by RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS?
      
      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BETM1_EL … re=related
      
      I am you are me
      Good woman said you gotta believe
      Submerge into the urge of we
      Deliciously the mystery
      
      [Chorus:]
      One big mob aw yea aw yea
      One big mob aw yea aw yea
      Ek bara mala aw yea aw yea
      Ek bara mala aw yea aw yea
      
      Ooze into into my noodle
      East or west shepherd or poodle
      Ladybug pinetree
      To mingle with the bumblebee
      A lover to the sun
      And a brother to the cool breeze
      
      [Chorus]
      
      Scrawled upon the wall
      Of a bathroom stall
      A stranger wrote a note
      That spoke to all
      
      One two buckle my shoe
      Take care of me
      'Cause I might be you
      
      [Chorus]
      
      We live in the city
      We live in the jungle
      It's time to be drinking
      A thimble humble
      Everything you ever see
      Is never more than you and me
      Give it on in to the beauty of the mystery
      
      One big mob in one big home
      A broken home
      I'd like to share some air with you
      Some air with you
      A morning forest full of truths
      The green is blue
      The head that's getting pregnant lives
      To give and give
      What was I thinking in my head
      The color red
      Breaking hearts instead of bread
      Something I said
      Checkmated by frustration...
      ...Need to be cut loose
      A different kind of being lost
      ...A sullen cost
      
      Picaboo street
      in Timbuktu
      Do I need repeat
      That a boy
      named Sue
      Rockin'
      to the beat
      Of the kangaroo
      Let me kiss your feet
      And your
      forehead
      too
      
      
      
      OUR CHANT!!
      
      ONE BIG MOB AW YEAH AW YEAH
      ONE BIG MOB AW YEAH AW YEAH
      Ek bara mala aw yea aw yea
      Ek bara mala aw yea aw yea
      
      I have no idea what that means and that's what makes great for a mob. 
      Every one yelling nonsense words at the top of their lungs!

    This is my first post ever in the Hubpages forum.
    
    I just wanted to say I've enjoyed reading this thread and love the many Hubpages created around the hair topic. Who knew there were so many different takes on it?
    
    When Ryan mentioned "mullets" I had to laugh. Yeah, I sported one in the late 80's while in college. Too funny!!
    
    And there is nothing like accidentally going from a mullet to a flat top. That's what happens when you give unclear direction to someone who has never cut your hair before. ;-)

    YO! Where's the love? Maybe someone can explain this too me. This is regarding Google searches of my hair hub. It has a somewhat long title so the complete title is not something someone would be entering into a search engine, but bear with me.
    
    If I enter the whole title, I come in 1st (along with a little bit about Spryte's hair hub), and 2nd (mine alone) and both of them are labeled Hot Hub. But I also come in 3rd (and here is where it gets weird.) at the 3rd position, it's my article but the search result is to a site called Oto's Blog. When you click and go to Oto's blog, there is the title of my hub along with the promo paragraph. It looks like you can click on it and go to hubpages, but it wasn't working, apparantly because the comment section was closed.
    
    I also entered "Redheads: Myths, legends" and Otto's blog came in 2nd, and I came in 3rd.
    
    Then I entered "Redheads myths and legends" and Otto's blog came in 1st and I came in 9th. Again, if I haven't explained this adequately, Otto's blog is my hub too, but this appears to be some "middle man" type of deal on the way to my hub on hub pages. Anyone encountered this before? I'm pretty happy with these results but I wish Otto would mind his own business.

          For everyone who hasn't followed this thread, my hair hub is competing with itself, but the competition is a site called Oto's Blog, where you see my title and summary paragraph, but the link doesn't work, so it's a dead end. This Oto's blog is appearing before my original hub in the search engine results (google), so it's frustrating.
          
          I just checked it again and it gets worse and involves everybody. I went to this Oto's blog and clicked on a little link titled SEO. Guess what? Everybody is there. Just off the top of my head, I saw Shirley Anderson's (Swell and Groovy....), Shadesbreath's (Wigs on Whigs), Spryte's (nose hair) and pgrundy's (Critical thinking), just to name a few. Lots and lots of Hubpages hubs. Click on the previous button and it goes on and on. I'm sure everybody will find at least one of their hubs. They are all dead ends, but since Oto's blog is getting search engine result placement first (at least in my case) a person would have to try twice to actually get to my hub. There ought to be a way to contact Google and have them 86 this Oto's blog. If you want to see it, here's the link:

I think I would think "oh...no, that link doesn't work, I tried it on the result above and it didn't work."  On one search result, it completely kicked mine off the page when it was just there last night and now his is in its place. Whatever its purpose, it seems sinister to me as, clearly, it is affecting my placement in search results. On one search last night, I placed 1st and 2nd and he was 3rd. Now it's just him and I am nowhere to be found.

    Paul Deeds and I have just investigated, and it appears to be a blackhat SEO operation to boost a certain e-card site.  There's nothing we can do, since they appear to be using our feed and the snippets they have are short enough to constitute "fair use," so the best thing we can all do is ignore it, and not link to the blog in the forums (hence me "breaking" the links above by inserting a space).
