I accidently deleted myself from Google’s search index. I meant to just get my sites out of the IMAGES side of Google (has anyone else noticed how infrequently images are updated? Google Images is a wasteland of broken links), but it looks like I accidently completely removed ALL my domains from Google’s main search index.

This is a problem for the people who come here every day by searching Google for “ariel meadow.” (Side note: who are you people? Why don’t just just type in my URL?) This is also a slight problem for my portfolio, as it was ranked #2 in the search for “Seattle copywriter,” which was really nice. I’m not sure if I ever got jobs from Google searches, but the exposure certainly didn’t hurt.

I talked to Google’s customer support about the issue (real people reponded to my emails! impressive!), and I should be reindexed at some point, but whups. What a geek error.
