A Google Search Achievement for BlogfromItaly.com in 2010
I guess this is an achievement even if to all intents and purposes this little site should not really have been able to do it, after all there are professional blogs run by teams of people who should be able to beat little old me.
What am I on about? Ranking! In the world wide web world people use the likes of Google to search for what they are after within the ocean of information which is contained in the world wide web.
Google News Under Attack in Italy
Italy’s antitrust authority is investigating Google to ascertain whether it has abused its dominant position in Italy.
Has Google Italy been Got At?

Italia.it isn’t
It was supposed to have been a shop window to Italy, a tourism web portal par excellence, but it has turned out to be a 7 million Euro white elephant. If you try to visit, www.italia.it, you won’t see too much. All I’ve been getting is server timeouts. Brutta figura time. UPDATED July 2009.
