Peeling my way to the top
Can you peg the #1 spot on Google for a single word? Well, neither can I. But, I’m getting close. Type in the word peeling at Google and this blog comes up in the #5 position. Type in wallpaper and you’ll have to go to the 20th page to find me. Still not too bad for a word as ubiquitous as wallpaper. (Yeah, I actually paged through them all. It was a slow night, okay?)
I think I have a chance at being #1 for peeling. Here is the competition:
#4 Peeling Paint Webcam. The whole point of this site is to watch paint peel – live from the comfort of your own home. Hey, I can watch paint peel live without a computer in my home, bucko! Frankly, if people would rather watch paint peel than read my blog, then I might as well give up. Ha! Just kidding. There's time enough for both.
#3 Peeling: The Pan-Asian American Performance Collective. The tagline reads: "Stories from writers sharing everyday life featuring the struggles and hardships of selected Asian..." Hmm, my initial thought is: Why whine in a collective when you could start your own blog and whine for a wider audience? We're equal opportunity whiners.
#2 Clyde Peeling’s Reptiland. Ironically, I know just where Clyde Peeling’s Reptiland is located geographically. I have driven by this place a hundred times on my way through Pennsylvania.
#1 Amazon.com for a book called How Are You Peeling? This is a photo book of fruits and vegetables doctored to have funny expressions. According to the Amazon review: “Adults and children alike will marvel at the range of expressions these fruits and vegetables possess…” Somehow, I don't think so.
So that’s the competition. I figured I would be beaten out by a dermatology site. You know, the kind of place that offers package deals on chemical peels and Botox injections. Of the top four above, the only site I’m worried about is Clyde Peeling’s Reptiland. Snake guys are always popular. And he does birthday parties. Damn. That means he probably gets a million hits from Moms once they find out the laser tag place is booked for six months.
No matter. Bring it on, Clyde. Let the battle begin. Hey, there’s an idea. Google Wars. A new show for the Discovery channel. Each week, teams of web developers are locked in a room with only laptops, a wireless connection, a case of Pepsi and a large bag of Cheetos. The team with the highest Google rating at the end wins another case of Pepsi and a party size bag of Cheetos.
I’ll check back in a month or so to see how I’m doing with my Google rating. In the meantime, I’m calling Discovery channel.
