Google search caught us

We have started publishing niche content articles on mytechfind.com now, and we are getting in a steady paced progress. As I said earlier, it is not an easy job. But we are definitely starting to see results and Google is better understanding our site now. Some of the articles have already made to the top search page on Google. To be specific, 2 of my articles have made it all the way to the top for certain search queries. This is exciting!

I have spend a lot of time working on SilkTest, UI automation tool and in the early days, I always used to look for help. It was little hard to find help on SilkTest as it was or is still not as famous as other automation tools like Winrunner or QTP. If you look up the web for help in Winrunner or QTP, you will get tons of good results but SilkTest is not so lucky. So, to share my knowledge on SilkTest, I have written an article SilkTests Guidelines which is a small one pager but is the product of 3 years of learning. Today, if you look up for "silktest guidelines" on Google, you will find this document on the number 1 in the search results. Isn't that great? I believe this will help some people like me looking out for help on SilkTest and they would not have to spend hours and hours to put up their work.

Other article which has made it to the top also targets similar problem. It was hard to find help on how to process trx files produced by Visual Studio Team Systems as not many people (outside of Mirosoft world) work on this platform. I wrote 2 separate articles on how to process trx result files from VSTS. The "trx merger" has made it to the top of the search results - TRX Merger. I am glad again to help some testers like me looking out for ways to improve their work.

My other 2 articles - Generating HTML reports from trx using XSLT, Converting excel-based tests to VSTS manual tests are on first page of Google search for "trx to html with xslt" and "exel to vsts manual tests" search strings. Not bad at all!!
