Nick Ramsay vs Nick Ramsay

October 22nd, 2007 by Nick Ramsay

Google search results for Nick RamsayI’m sure most of you have googled your own name on the internet, and I’m no different. It’s no surprise to find someone else with the same name as you considering the billions of people on the planet, but in my case, the other Nick Ramsay is also British, and the same age as me!

I take pride in my computer skills, so it’s a bit disappointing not to see my own website at the top of Google’s search results for “Nick Ramsay”. It’s understandable, however, when you realize that Nick Ramsay is a politician. Not only that, but I’m beaten by his profile page on the highly popular Conservatives.com website.

Being a politician, I assume Nick regularly gets mentioned in newspapers, blogs and other media. Whenever someone talks about him online, they are likely to link to his Conservatives profile page, using the name “Nick Ramsay”. Linking with specific keywords (i.e. anchor text) is the best way to get your site ranking highly in the search results.

Taking on a politician in a search ranking contest is as silly as me entering a sumo contest, but nevertheless, I’ll continue to push for that top spot, and hope Nick Ramsay the politician has a career change!

Here’s what we’ll do … I have five blogs that I can link your name with, and we’ll get dozens more to link all their blogs (even their test blogs) to this site using your name. The goal being to make the largest Real Name Blogging Meme in the world!

Or not …

Do people still do link memes? :???:

Fight Nick, stand up for what is rightly yours!!!!! You are king of the cyber-world (At least in your own name that is!!) and if you need this pretender to be washed away so-to-speak, I will have a talk to the local
“Yakuza” head and see what we can do!!!!!

No need for that Keith. There’s room in this world for two Nick Ramsays!

Or maybe your mind be blown by the fact that their could be 5 Nick Ramsays… then how would you feel?
