Brad Feld RSS Feed: SEO and Boulder Justice Center Community Service

[David Sandusky]

My RSS Feed is a Thinker and Has Just Posted the Following:

I've been fascinated with SEO for a long time.  I've experienced a lot of random SEO events as a result of my blog, such as all the traffic I get from Google on the word "iBrick" that link to my post titled iBrick (currently #2 in the index - sometimes #1.)

A reader sent me a note yesterday that I am the #1 search term on Google for the phrase Boulder Justice Center Community Service which is linked to my post titled My Afternoon at the Boulder County Justice Center.  I decided to take a look at the other search services and see where I landed on this search.

• Google: #1
• AOL: #1 (thanks Google)
• Yahoo: not there.  Add "Feld" to the search and it's still not there
• Ask: not there.  Add "Feld" to the search and it's #1
• Live: not there.  Add "Feld" to the search and it's #3
• Technorati: not there.  Add "Feld" to the search and it's still not there
• Bloglines: not there.  Add "Feld" to the search and it's still not there

All of this reminded me of the great presentation my friend Micah Baldwin at Lijit did at Tech ****tail in Chicago last week titled SEO is All Grown Up: My Quest to be the #1 Douche bag.

Micah has been on a Douchebag Quest - I Want To Be The #1 Douche Bag.  As of today, he's #4 on Google.  In case you are baffled, Micah's quest is tongue in check as he tries to use a negative phrase to demonstrate how SEO works.
