All I typed in was the name of the product

To get a hit like that was amazing.

WOW.. Simply WOW... Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

You are 3rd (Google India) beating even the manufacturer in Ireland and UK...

Really interesting ! Was there any special SEO efforts. You must share some tips.

PS: There is no "Fav Icon" shown in the address bar.

Thanks,

It is part of a very large site so maybe that helps.
Also I hit it on Twitter and FB (By 'I' I mean my Marketing Dalek, Michelle).
On top of which I have links on my works website, my other personal websites etc.

Yes, external linking and social media linking helps a lot. So better half is better help too Smile | :)

Saw your site today, though read lots post while it was in making like version mis-match and all. Looks quite decent. Did you get the UI designed or one-man-army?

Thanks,
Milind

I did not spam, I was merely pointing people to the THIRD position.

By a strange co-incidence I happen to be in fourth Smile | :)

There is only so many ups it requires Smile | :)

No, not spamming, merely shock and awe at how high it has got.
Also, I do not mention the company by name, and if I did it would be to the regular hilarity and piss taking that I get here as a matter of course.

I do have some spare red buckets if you want one.

Just sayin'.

Remember that rules become completely ineffective (destructive, even) if they're not applied across the board, so the hamster god can't afford to be seen displaying any favouritism.

I quite agree, but this was just something that sent me rather agog.

All you need now is a similar rank for the search "Smart Intercom" or "Intercom" or "Door Bell" or "Doorbell"

Rare words on the internet really work well in search engines.

The other night I was looking at Nagy Vilmos's sig and was wondering what the meaning of the first word was.
I copied it, the whole sig, and then pasted it into google, thinking that it would probably link me to a translation.
Well it didn"t.
The whole page was filled with Big Willy Nagy Vilmos Posts and there were not any paid for entries at the top either.
I went to Google translate. Pasted the same into there and it told me the meaning.
I nodded and I smiled.

I provide IT development and support to a large UK-based consumer financial services company. I've written one system single-handed and supported it, dealing with several thousand transactions per hour. For reasons beyond me they decided to outsource it to a China-based company of 15 developers. The Chinese co decided 1st October would be "handover" day. Handover consisted of me supplying the source code; they've asked for nothing else.
I was at a client meeting yesterday (2nd October). They were in a flap as on the evening of 30th Sept they'd received an email from said Chinese company that they were ALL going on holiday for the next 8 days, and would be unavailable. (Seems the Chinese have just started an 8-day national holiday, and are following that directly with a further 4 days to be treated as a "weekend").
Some reallocation of task priorities has taken place... OMG | :OMG:

Moral: If outsourcing offshore, find out if the offshore country has a total of 29 National Holidays and 5 "weekend" days per year, as China do...

Moral #2: if you find yourself suddenly needing to ask the previous support individual to extend their support past the agreed end date at short notice be prepared to write a very large cheque! Smile | :)

You should be a happy man. Not that there was chance for long term relation between your client and "Chinese" company.
There is a joke "Why China Wall is very famous? Because of it sheer length..! Naah..Its because that's the only Chinese thing lasted" That's true for their support SLAs too !!

Thanks,

Yup. iphones, ipods, and ipads don't last five minutes.

Nor do Mercedes cars (or most other German cars, for that matter).

Nor do any of the other "prestige" products that are manufactured either in China, or according to designs created in China before it became cheaper to manufacture stuff in the Philippines, Thailand, et al.

And having a culture that has lasted longer, and stayed purer, than any other in the world is irrelevant.

That was a joke Mark !! It was in context of lots of cheap Chinese products being dumped into international market without any quality checks !!

There are positives and negatives of all countries and all culture and that's true for India/China/US/Europe.
