Blog Geek: Me, but making money

To prove just how small of a world we're in, not only is there another Travis Poling walking the streets (actually there are nine of us on Facebook), at least one of them is also a blogger, but this time it's for real. He's a journalist in San Antonio and has his own blog called Beer Notes hosted by San Antonio Express-News. This could have been me, had I completed culinary school, back when I was more of a connoisseur of those sorts of things.

  2. There are a couple other Matt / Matthew Mckimmy's floating around out there, but I'm doing what I can to be the predominant one.

    Of course the ultimate tool for this is googling yourself.

    Upon googling "Matt McKimmy" the top 3 posts and 7 of the top 10 are related to me. Googling "Matthew McKimmy" also nets 6 out of the top 10, though the highest is #3. Unsurprisingly "Matthew E. McKimmy" brings up the most hits, with all of the top 10 pointing back to me in some way.

    I guess I need to work on my search engine optimization!

  3. @Matt: This San Antone Travis Poling is still the #1 on Google, but all the rest of the 9 on page 1 of results are me. The first one that's me (#2 overall) is still my old blog, which I'm trying to beat out. Is it just a matter of Google Bombing the crap out of myself? That's kind of cheating though, no? Anyone n the ethics of Google Bombing?
