Potty Page

July 27, 2004

On top of... Google!

Well I've made it! Search for my name in Google - with or without quotes and I'm on top. Yeah, I know loads of my readers are on top (baby), but that's cause you've got freaky names that noone else would be seen dead with, mine is a common as muck - although I've not met someone with the same name as me (one of my dads patients had exactly the same name as me and was born on the same day as one of my brothers, scary), but I never met him.

The quoted search throwing back about 1,370,000 results and the quoted version giving 7,870 pages (going on the Ed variety spelling of my first name by the way)

Wanna know what's really scary. I'd made a point of not putting my full name on the blog, it doesn't mention my surname anywhere (other than on the stalk me page) definatly not on the front page! It appears that the whole writeup of the MT-Blacklist Updater fix has inadvertantly caused my name to become a Google Bomb.

Cool, is all I have to say!

Nice one Ed,
I'm on the top two spots if you google for "wellsy", but thats cos spend too much time on forums...

Surely Ed forms no part of your first name therefore you have told a lie and have technically cheated on the google search.

I did a bit of Google searching and found your surname in two places on this site. One was the stalk page, care to the guess the other? To be nice I'll tell you it wasn't in comments.

Yeah, my stalk early warning system told me you'd been stalking me :-) I'm guessing the other thing would have been my FOAF file?

Indeed :-)

So, does the stalk page send you an SMS or something everytime it's viewed? :-)
