Hi guys.
The other day I thought that I would check out my listing on Google. When I typed in my name, as that is what I am branding, I found that I was in the number one position. I also found that I dominated the first few pages. "Wow", I thunk to myself, "this is pretty good, and I did it without even trying". I thought that this would be good and would help to bring traffic to my site. However (and I say however because everyone else always say but), I also realised that being number one really didn’t mean a thing to me or my business. Who is looking for Terry Shadwell? I am an unknown in the eyes of the world. I am not a rock god, I can’t act, and my adult industry career end after my first movie titled Mr Floppy. So who is looking for me, except my creditors? To be number one in Google is great, if you are what people are looking for. I hear too many people push the idea of being in the top search position, but are you in a niche that no one cares about? Who is going to buy Terry Shadwell ($20, going cheap, will give refunds). I will try to stay number one in my niche and beat off that name stealing chiropractor from Ireland. But (oops I mean however) I don’t know if it will do me any good. So what do I do? (rhetorical question) Try and brand something else, or push on until I am world famous and good looking? Ok just world famous then. I think I will push on. Why, because I am number one on Google in my niche, and sooner or later people will get to know the name Terry Shadwell. However (see sounds better than but) I find that I get more traffic from articles, twitter and other social networking sites. So why this long winded rant about being number one on Google by one the best looking guys in the world (mum says I’m good looking so it must be true). Just to ensure that people who are new to the market realise that the information that other people give or sell to you may not always be 100% accurate. Test everything, learn from your mistakes and success and be willing to not believe everything that people tell you. Thanks for listening Ter...... Ahhh you should know my name by now.

I am sad to report that I have lost my number one spot to.........wait for it........ME. A new search today shows that EzineArticles have beaten me to the top spot with my profile page.
Now I'm all up for competition but this just gets silly. |

I was looking for myself the other day, and that wasn't in a spirital sense either, and I was suprised that my own name gets 310,000 reponses.
I'm sure that would make me one of the most famous unknown persons in the world. lol |

Funny about names. I typed my own with a phrase match and got 66,300. Wow. And all the top contenders for that name are listed. Me, the rabbi and the feed company. Strangely enough, I'm number one. Does this count for anything? How about a gold star? :-)

I think this helps to prove my point. Being number one isn't really thant fantastic if people aren't looking for you. However over time I am hoping my name may mean something to people on the net. You know alnong the lines of Internet Marketing Guru, Philanthropist, Sex God? ![]() I think the important point is to keep going. | |
