power of active rainLast night I posted "Will your computer connect to the Internet after July 9, 2012?"

Today I received an email from ActiveRainer Kathy Streib which read ~

Hi Amy- just read your post and thought you'd like to know that just for fun I Googled "connecting to the Internet after July 9th" and your post was in position #3!!

Can I just say "Wow! and thank you for the heads-up Kathy!" 

Of course, I had had to jump over to Google to check it out.  Searching the same terms and, well ~ there I was only now, just minutes later, I was at position 2.

Just goes to show you...never underestimate the POWER of ActiveRain and its amazing members who love to be the bearers of good news!

That is really cool. However, I'm guessing those key words are not searched often.  Maybe that will change as we get closer to the date if it starts making the news.

I agree with Debbie and the others. .

You could get a new blogger account and write a post to highlight a search word that is not very popular and rank it in hours. . specially when you have a specific future date on the title.

But . . if you are ahead of the pack for something that will be significant in the next few weeks. .you should get a lot of new visitors being exposed to your services.

Great discover Amy and I'm sure it happens to so many of us but we just never check. Those bots love coming back to AR and the more exposure and reading, the longer it will stay up there. I reblogged that post because it was very timely. Thanks

Amy, ActiveRain works and the proof is in the Google Juice. It is probably at number one by now.

I love reading good news about ActiveRain since I also read my fair share of posts saying that ActiveRain has lost some of its magic.

I'm impressed by the speed of our Google appearances also, and it goes to show how we should be using AR more for just that.

So, think of how Google has chnaged our world. 

Five years ago, were you worried about Google position?

Are we better off with it or without it?
