i’m back to the number one position on google for jamie howard, ahead of jamie howard the professional wrestler, and jamie howard the swimming machine, and jamie howard the alderman in davenport iowa, and jamie howard the former ceo of excite, and all the rest.
it’s about damn time. enough of this number two and number three nonsense.
in an effort to figure out google and how it works, i signed up for google sitemaps. you can then get a plethora of info about how google sees your site, and all that.
for instance, i learned that the number one topic i have blogged about is kristin hall. if i just turned this site into a series of blogs about kristen hall, i might get some action around here. and certainly she is an interesting topic.
but i wouldn’t subject her to the vagaries of my attention. she deserves better.
the second hottest topic? peeps pie. come on people. that wasn’t even a blog. it was just a picture, with no words involved.
of course, as i’ve mentioned elsewhere, the number of people subscribing to my rss feed rises with each day that passes that i haven’t blogged. howard’s law, i suppose.
which tells me that you all just want me to shut up, or just talk about peeps pie or kristen hall incessantly.
i get the message.
and on a completely unrelated topic, i found my post containing my american idol prediction. back in early march, i predicted elliot would go all the way.
i think i’m sticking to that. before last night, i thought he was gone. but after last night, he’s around for one more week anyhow. he may be a dark horse, behind chris and taylor, but i think he’s the only performer left who has actually improving somewhat, if only marginally. and i think people are going to notice that, and reward it.
update: all those google hits for kristin hall? i was spelling her name wrong. it’s kristen hall. here’s my mea culpa on the matter.
