I misinterpreted something I read on a blog I follow and it led me to google (I supposed that’s a legitimate verb now) Writing by Ear to see where it would appear on the list (if it would at all).
I was pleasantly suprised — shocked really — to see it come up first. Especially when you consider that googling my name results in only an 18th place mention (associated with my professional site for my business; some young whippersnapper with my name comes up before me!), while googling my business name itself ranks only a lowly 73rd place.
I think I remember reading that your Google placement can be increased by how often you update your site, so I imagine that’s why the blogs get noticed first (and, ummmm, I haven’t changed my business site since I switched the copyright date to 2008 in January — not too business savvy, huh.)
Anyway, this was a happy little discovery and quite appropriate for my (drum roll) 100th post.
Have you googled yourself…? Not only will you not go blind, you may be surprised at what you find.
Remember my name
Fame
I’m gonna live forever
I’m gonna learn how to fly
High
I feel it coming together
People will see me and cry
Fame
I’m gonna make it to heaven
Light up the sky like a flame
Fame
I’m gonna live forever
Baby remember my name
Remember
Remember
Remember
Remember
Remember
Remember
Remember
Remember
~ Fame
