Well I have to admit I'd totally forgotten about my quest for world domination of the google(uk) results for Pond Pumps ..... it's an easy oversight ...... but now I'm back with avengence! The best thing is that although I haven't done anything about it since May last year I've somehow crept into the top [b]50[/b] in the google listings!! ...... how cool :D

Admittedly google appears to be going thorough it's little dance again at the moment, but the last time it did that I only managed to get into the top 500 so this is one hell of an improvement and hopefully after all the listings have settled down I'll still be somewhere within the top 700, which is the max results that google shows. Of course, my position in google has absolutely no effect on me financially as I don't sell pond pumps, and I've no intention of doing so. I'm purely doing all this just to demonstrate to my mate the power of a blog to affect the google rankings for [b]his[/b] chosen keywords.

This doesn't mean that I wouldn't get a childish pleasure out of knocking my mate off the top spot for the google results ..... although he probably wouldn't speak to me for a fair while if I did that ...... mind you, he's the one that was daft enough to throw down the gauntlet huh? ..... I'd be laughing my arse off ..... no, really, I would, he really is anal about his google position :| .... The best bit is, whilst I'm fairly sure that he doesn't read my blog, I just [i]know[/i] that Gary will show him this post ..... if only for the sadistic pleasure he'll get out of it himself ( Hi Barry, enjoy your time at the top whilst yah still can huh mate? ;) )

..... Did I mention that Gary has a great collection of Usa Patches ? ( hey, one good turn deserves another huh :| )

Anyway, I'm gonna wander off and leave all y'all in peace now,
