What a long strange trip it’s been.   Back before I started a blog, I was just a per­son on the swg forum with the name Creeva in his sig­na­ture.  I did a ran­dom Google search and I had less then 100 entries, about 3 years ago I was still stuck at 419 entries.   These days my num­ber fluc­tu­ates for 20k-60K entries in Google depend­ing on the day.   I’m still proud of hav­ing the num­ber one entry in Google for “the great­est accom­plish­ment of mankind” and not so happy about being num­ber one for “afk enter­tainer” (UPDATE ON THE SECOND ONE — I’ve been bumped to num­ber 2 — yay me).   One thing  always both­ered me when I started this trip of seed­ing Google, the fact that orig­i­nally when I searched for “Creeva” that Google sent me back the sug­ges­tion “Did you mean Cree­val?” — this con­tin­ued on when I had more hits for Creeva in the data­base then existed for Creeval.

Every few months I did a vari­a­tion search on Creeva and nor­mally I would either get no sug­ges­tion for some spellings, or I would get some­thing spelled dif­fer­ent.   Today how­ever when I did a search for “Creeeva” it came back with the sug­ges­tion “did you mean Creeva?”.  Finally I’ve bro­ken through the glass ceil­ing of valid search terms and “Creeva” will start being a valid suggestion.

I really don’t care if this changes tomor­row and it goes back to some other sug­ges­tion, today I have my moment in the sun.

See the full size pic­ture of Google’s sug­ges­tion here.

Granted as a side note, my real name has only 4900 hits for it, and when I search on it, it sug­gest a dif­fer­ent spelling of the last name (dif­fer­ent per­son).     The sug­ges­tion also has 1500 less hits for his name then I have for mine, but that’s a bat­tle for another day.

  • Oh, well, good to know. You appeared just until your blog had enough entries to make it relevant to Google.
  • It's not just my blog though - it's all my other profiles and such that
    helped prop it up there.
  • Lol, because this is a importan blog jaja
