Day 23: What’s up with Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooogle?*
So, I’m at No. 2 on Yahoo, No. 3, 4 and 5 on Live, and No. 5 on Ask (where my Engadget page is No. 3). Google? Still No. 8, and this site hasn’t been crawled since April 3! On the bright side, according to Google Webmaster Tools, I’m ranked No. 3 for “marc weingarten.” Unfortunately, that bit of data is erroneous. The author of “The Gang That Wouldn’t Write Straight” rightly owns his own SERP, and I’m nowhere to be found. On the plus side, I really am ranked first for “credo kb35”—though I have no idea why anyone would actually search for that.
* No, that’s not a typo. The search engine giant has really registered this elegant alternative brand, along with some other fine variations such as gewgol and geggle. Maybe I need to register pertoooooooooooon, and see how I rank on that.
