meyerbros and google

If you search for “meyerbros” we’re hits one through eight, beating out such noteworthy competitors as, well, Meyer Bros. Construction.

And the seven Google searches which have led people here:

dilbert conceptual design
elephant s dream review
review and courageous conversations about race
rene steinke
walmart bad ethics
eric meyer resume
research paper on drive-in movie theaters

I feel bad for whoever was searching for “elephant’s dream review”, as I didn’t actually review it. Sorry, whoever you are.

    But I think what most people would be searching for would be meyer bros or meyer brothers unless we somehow make it really obvious that its all one word when ever we use it (written or verbally).

    And just for fun, here’s a comparison on Meyer and Brothers on google trends:

    seems to me “meyerbros” is a fairly easy test, but then i’m not sure i know of a better one. we are, not surprisingly, also numbers one-eleven (at least (the entire first page)) in a technorati seach.

    we don’t appear on www.sphere.com at all.

    and we’re nowhere to be seen on any search engine under simply “meyer”.

    Yeah. I should have been clearer - I meant this more as a joke than anything. We should be top ten in a search for “meyerbros”, considering it’s not even a word and it’s the title of our site. And nobody would actually search for that unless they already knew about us.

    Obviously, we haven’t been around long enough or have enough content up to have a real high profile. The searches that did find us are more interesting. What it reveals, I think, is that our content at this point is just so varied that we’re more likely to show up on a random topic search related to some post than any kind of focused search for us as an organization (since whatever we are at this point is pretty ephemeral).
