From getting back into posting things back here on InformationReality.com, it looks as if Google really appreciates it if your domain looks alive. The more I post, the more organic traffic finds the site, which must mean that whether or not your site appears in certain searches depends on how relevant google thinks you are.
Which makes sense, becuase it is hard to get your head around how many dead and abandoned sites there are out there that have been forgotten since the start of the internet. Billions of pages i would hazard a guess. All lost in some digital limbo, forgotten by author and reader alike.
Off all the sites on the internet, i wonder what proportion of them actually get read every day. 1%? 0.000001%. Would be an interesting stat to know.
