South Park - 3 more seasons

South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt stone have signed up for 3 more seasons of South Park each containing 14 episodes.  Unlike The Simpson's which has faded in the past years for me South Park keeps getting better.


Trey and Matt have signed an agreement for digital media so I am sure we will see lots of ring tones and other bits and bobs appearing shortly....

Story continued at BBC.

Googlebot

Googlebot - Can anyone explain to me how this thing works?   

Roughly about a month ago I was checking my webstats, I had came across a lot of links from Google image search.  I decided to dive a little deeper....  It turns out that googlebot had indexed my page and when you searched for Die Hard 4 images my website was listed on the 1st page.  I thought ok not a big deal with that. 

A few days later I checked my stats to find the site was back to normal hits, hmm odd.  I done a google search for Die Hard 4, nothing showing for my site.  I then done a site:www.philip-harvey.co.uk to see what google had indexed.  Again not showing. 

More days pass and noticed a lot of linkage from http://pingugus.awardspace.com/index.php?s=die+hard again I thought ah sod it hotlinking part of the Internet I suppose.  Following my discovery I decided that I would try site:www.philip-harvey.co.uk to see what google had found for my website, to my amazement it had die hard 4 picture yet it linked to pingugus site.  At this point i gave up trying to understand what was happening.

I checked my stats the other day and more hits than normal, site:www.philip-harvey.co.uk shows Die Hard 4, google image search shows Die Hard 4. So in a month we have had nothing, to Die Hard to hot linking back to nothing and then had Die Hard images again.

Does anyone know how the bleeding thing works as its starting to bug me!
