It Likes Things Just So......

a: Googlebot ~
b: Cathline Bates in Misery

What: It, like she, likes things a certain way. No big changes, no defying the structure that has been set in place. And it, like she, will get a bit crazy if you change too much at the same time. Your website could be hobbled, if you leave something out of place. You must be move slowly and cautiously at all times.

Expansion And Contraction

a: Cabin of a passenger jet ~
b: a big balloon

What: "The cabin of a passenger jet is like a big balloon that is blown up and deflated every time a plane takes off and lands, sealing the passengers inside an environment that is safe and comfortable, while the plane cruises at thirty thousand feet, an altitude that human beings can't tolerate for long."

a: Vitamins ~
b: tire irons

What:

"Vitamins are like tire irons. Without a tire iron, you can't
change a tire. A box of tire irons won't help you change it faster.
This is a good way to explain that excessive vitamins don't help,
and may do harm."
