Grandad and Granny rule
Herself was muttering about blogs and Google last night.
I don’t know quite what she was muttering about because I usually don’t listen.
To while away the time while she rambled on, I did a search for "Granny" in Google. Bugger me, but she came out #1 in Ireland!!! Grannylosttheplot is at the top of the list.
This worried me, so I did a search for "Grandad". With an enormous sense of relief, I found that I am #1 too!
So, in Ireland at least, Granny and Grandad rule. Stick that in your SEO cookbooks and smoke it.
She was still waffling, so I went further afield.
"Granny" in Google worldwide? She comes in at #4. Not bad, I thought. So the competition is hotting up, I thought.
"Grandad" in Google worldwide? Hah!! #4 again. So at least we are equal there too. We are an equal opportunities couple.
The only thing that bugs me now is that I am topped by "Grandad" from "Only Fools and Horses". That bugs me because the fecker is fictional and dead. He should be delisted. Where is my Wikipedia entry? I am real and alive.
My one consolation is that Granny is topped by a porno site.
She’ll never beat that.
Granny porn?! that sounds a tad unsavoury!
Congrats to Granny and Grandad! Your competitiveness rubbed off so I did a bit of googling myself and was disappointed to find myself only 3rd on the list of Feebees of the world. So I googled himself and he is 3rd too! And we are both top of the Irish google lists! Is this a phenomenon? Any other husband and wife bloggers available to test the theory?
There’s only one Terence McDanger! (And thank fuck, says you).
You’ve got far too much time on your hands
Congrats on your number 1 status, and number 4 worldwide!
Fecker is a funny term. You don’t hear of it here in America. I only first heard it from Angela’s Ashes. Is it considered a “bad word” in Ireland, like the “f” word here? I’m thinking not!
Love reading your blog 🙂
Granny & Grandad DO RULE! No granny porn tho’ please!
When I google my FULL name, my blog & website are #1. (Natch…after all, I AM the worlds 1st & ONLY Traveling Bra.) But if I google “Olga bra” I’m #7 – topped only by sites selling Olga brand bras. (A BIG company.) So, I’m happy. 🙂
Hope you are having a wonderful day Grandad!
Quickroute – Seing as my number one search term is “senior porn”, we are used to it!!
FeeBee – Obviously we are a country that strongly believes in equality?
Terence – Thank fuck.
Roy – If you are so busy, how come you’re reading this??
Tanya – Thank you for your nice words. “Feck” is indeed a milder form of t’other word. It is one of those strange words that is often used as a term of endearment. If someone referred to me as “That mad fecker up in the mountains”, I wouldn’t mid in the least. Though they probably resort to the other word in that situation….
Olga – No cheating. It has to be a single word search. ‘Olga’ or ‘bra’. You haven’t a chance. What surprised me is that ‘Granny’ and ‘Grandad’ are words in common everyday usage.
You’re right – you ARE special!!! I’m just a plain ol’ Traveling Bra. No big deal. (shuffles away…..deflated…)
Olga – Deflated? You are a pneumatic bra? Get a puncture repair outfit. You’ll be grand.
Grandad,
Google is bizarre!
I called one post “changing money”, about my own experience of changing £500 in the 1980s. It didn’t occur to me that this would mean a Google search for “changing money” would put my blog amongst various foreign exchange sites.
Ian – Makes sense to me. It’s like my hairless cat grabbing the headlines for ‘nude pussy’?
I naively titled one post “Pregnant by sex, I kid you not”. I won’t tell you the search terms I get for that post.
Feebee – I can well imagine! 😉 You have to be damn careful what words you use in blogs!
I thought Google sorted by significance and relevance, which would have put my blog post at six billionth rather than sixth when someone inquired about changing money.
Ian – There are all sorts of weird allegories used by Google – Site popularity, Number of high ranking sites linked to you, The position of the requested text within the page/site. No one really understands how it works [least of all, Google!].
