Inside Scoop - Google To Index Alphabetically!

Sorry, course I'm kidding but I just wanted to share an amusing conversation I had today.

I got a phone call from the slightly irrate company boss complaining that their website wasn't on page 1 of Google...after all she said 'We purposely bought a company domain name beginning with the letter 'A' so how come other domains starting with 'P' and 'R' were above them. Hehe..had to laugh at that.
To be honest I was so taken aback by it I didn't quite know where to start or what to say!

Hope you don't mind me posting it and maybe wasting your time a little

    That guy must be stuck in 1998.

    It's insane how little people actually research stuff before acting.

    It's actually reverse alphabetical, they should have gone with a 'Z' and if all of those were taken then at least something like a 'V' or 'W'...

    This is too funny . How could he think that? If it's true all results in page 1 will have domain with A as starting letter which you wont ever see happen.

    Did he never use Google himself?

    That's funny.

    Maybe he was getting confused with the Yahoo Directory...
