28 October 2005

Today is a day for joyous celebration. For as long as I've had a website (even the *gulp* Angelfire websites I had before this one, you soooo didn't just read that) I've always been buried deep in the google index. If you ever tried searching for "Margaret Andrews", um yeah, you'd get hundreds of pages of dead Margaret Andrews's that lived in the 1600's, 1700's, and 1800's... NONE of which had their own bloody websites!!! Seriously. How fucking demeaning it is when a web designer gets trumped by hundreds upon hundreds of DEAD PEOPLE.

But today *sniff*, today someone got to me by searching for my name on google. And when I checked it out it turns out that I have graduated to first and second spot of the Margaret Andrews class. Oh dear, I think I'm going to cry a little bit *sniff*. Go see, go see. If you search for Margaret Andrews there I am. On the first page. At the top.

Now I can officially say, "I'm not like a regular Margaret Andrews, I'm a cool Margaret Andrews." Thanks google. This really *has* been the best birthday month ever!

Warmest congrats, Margaret! I remember the day I overtook some no-account banjo player (I'm sure he's really a nice guy) for the top Matt Thompson spot. It was a proud, proud day, born on a lifetime of blood and heartache. Now, I've got the top two slots, but some sneaky little graphic designer (no offense!) who also bears my middle initial is trying to muscle in on my turf. At least all your name-nemeses are dead, so you've got nothing to worry about.

I wouldn't worry too much about the designer - his sneak is about as obvious as a heart attack. Not really a usuable website at that (ok well, it just isn't). Plus he's got the whole outdated thing going on and lastly, well, you have a snappy title. And snappy titles should most definitely be part of the google page-ranking algorithm.

Well my real name is a moon on Pluto anyway but under "charmarie" I'm of course #1. My real name comes in at #12 on Google which is definately fine by me.

Congrats darling I'm elated that you have moved up!

I don't know how to tell you this, but you've slipped down to number four (your ymdb top movie list) - however 'sopheava' is right at the number one spot, and there are - get this - 21,500 listings! And I think they're all you!!!
