Dave is trying to rank for the term “Dave” on Google and I thought it would be interesting to see where all the other blogs I read ranked for their owners names on Google. Surprisingly most of them were nowhere to be seen but some had first page rankings and a couple even stole the top spot.
Losers
Patrick – 5th of 167,000,000 results (keywords not in title tag)
Dave – 2nd or 287,000,000 results (keyword in title tag)
Rand – 5th of 67,900,000 results (keyword in title tag)
Matt – 3rd out of 164,000,000 results (keywords in title tag)
Joost – 22nd out of just 6,260,000 results thanks to a TV station
Loren – 9th out of 13,800,000 results.

In a beautiful piece of irony both Larry & Sergey are pushed from the top spot by Wikipedia entries.
