Here is a little proof.
I had not used Google for a while, but I am back on it these days. I did a vanity search. Below is the result.
Now I have been findable on the Internet for nearly 12 years. Typically 300 to 400 results. Now is it 9,500. The only thing that has changed is I blog.
I am now the sixth result on the term weatherby and twenty first on lance. The gun company, the guy with the yellow jerseys, and the candy company are still ahead of me.
