Hitting gold with Google - using dumb luck

    I just noticed this in Google and had to blog about it - after Anna Nicole Smith died, I blogged about it. If you search for her daughter's first name on Google, "Dannilynn", MY blog comes up first.

    I wonder how much that would have cost me if I had paid for it? :D

    Hey ColleenC! A lot of people have recommended your site in the interviews that I conduct at Blog Interview.

    Well done on getting No1 for Dannilynn. How many hits have you had from Google for it?

    I'm the number one Kumiko Suzuki on Google! I finally knocked off the other one. Haha!!!

    Have a beautiful day!

    Kumiko

    Oh lord, you had me with the first half of your post! LOL

    Kumiko, is that a common name in Japan? I ask because my mom has been writing to a penpal there since she was in high school, and her name is also Kumiko! I've seen my links from your site. I have a lot of fans...LOL

    Luck is good. I lucked into my first successful website.

    However, if you hadn't started your blog, hadn't taken the time to write for it, hadn't been paying attention to the news, you would not have been "lucky" :)

    Congrats.
