Path to #1 Erica on Google

May 10th, 2007  |  Published in Uncategorized  |  7 Comments

Wow — so for the last week I have been the #3 Erica on Google (up from #7) — but it looks like today I dropped back down to the #5 Erica.

Interestingly enough, I learned from Jeremiah Owyang the other day that if even one A-List Blogger links to you, your page rank goes from 0 to 5. And sure enough — that’s absolutely true. I think the google page rank of this site used to be 1.

I’m definitely not giving up my campaign to be the #1 Erica — but it looks like I need ya’lls help ;) Be sure to link to me with the link term “Erica” and linking back to this site as often as possible ;)

Update - as of today am now the #2 Erica on Google :)

    Ok, I gave you some google juice . Also, I added you to my permanent blogroll. (actually I might be removing my blogroll entirely in a month or two). Can you tell i’m feeling guilty for having a brain freeze about your name in Austin?

I Have Blogger's Block
I was chatting with my friend Laura Mayes tonight - explaining how I have Blogger’s Block.  Tomorrow I head to San Francisco - and I’ve already stocked up on awesome reading materials for the plane - including the Complete Works of Jane Austen and Katharine Hepburn’s Autobiography.  Laura’s advice:

The best way to get out of a block is to read good writing.

And to go to Northern California.

 

Check. And Check.

Link Policy

My personal link policy is as follows - I only link to the blogs of people I actually know in real life (with the exception of the "Other Erica's" section). I think when you add someone to your blogroll there should be real meaning attached. Most of the people I link to are not only acquaintances - but folks I am lucky enough to call my friends.
