Still looking for help

Remember a few weeks ago when someone out in the Middle East put ‘where to apply for the assistance to iraqi locally engaged staff’ into the Yahoo! search engine and found Alex Harrowell, the Yorkshire Ranter?

Well, it’s just happened to me as well.

This morning, someone in Dubai googled ‘application for the iraqi interpreters worked with uk army in basrah‘ and found me. I came higher in the rankings than Foreign Secretary David Miliband’s own blog and the actual Foreign Office instructions for Iraqi employees are nowhere to be seen in the list.

The instructions (such as they are and aren’t link to from Miliband’s blog) are here and here. I’ve been meaning to put the links up – if I’d done it sooner the person Googling today would have found them.

Anybody any ideas how we get those Foreign Office links pushed up Google’s rankings?

    Pay Google, that’s what most companies do to get their company at the top of the search.

    Everybody blog it, and include the two links with suitable link text including some of “iraqi interpreter”, british, army, basra(h?), application should do it by Monday.

    Let me add one proviso:

    probably.
