I got an interesting note from a search engine called Feedmil.com yesterday. It seems to be aimed at searching frequently-updated sites like blogs, newswire feeds, etc. Anyway, they asked me to send along a description, and this is what I came up with:
"A sorta-daily journal for friends, family, and anybody who enjoys a good beagle haiku. Or a bad beagle haiku. The point is that (unless Katie the Beagle gets distracted by a butterfly or something stinky to roll in) we aim to dominate the world beagle haiku market, and nobody better stand in our way. Especially not a rabbit."
And, lo-and-behold, we are indeed their number one result for a search on "Beagle Haiku". (Take that, Google!) I'm curious to see how long it takes this post to make it into their engine, so I'll check a few times during today, to see when this item popped up in their engine, and report back on what I find.
In the meantime, their engine also seems to work on a "popularity" metric, so if you do stop by their site, please cast a vote for the quality of the ol' Patio Boat. Your beagle-haiku-generating Patio Boat staff thanks you!
And low and behold, inside of an hour, this post is now up on their service. Impressive search-engine fu, considering the utter obscurity of this blog. (Obscure to all but the beagle haiku lovers of the world, that is.)
ReplyDeleteSix days later and you are number 2 in beagle haiku. Tough market.
