Australian blog, Australian moblog, Australian podcast and Google ranking

I have been involved in a project lately where a few of the other people involved (you know who you are) keep bringing up the fact that this blog sits pretty high, in 1st spot (image) actually, if you do a search on “Mick” (I wasn’t born as SplaTT ou know:) on Google in Australia and in the 5th spot (image) if you do it on the global Google site.

That got me thinking…I blog on and off about blogs, podcasts and moblogs and I am constantly asked to speak at conferences in Australia about these and other emerging technologies (as you would if you were known as a emerging technology evangelist), so i just ran a search on Google on the words Australian blog, Australian podcast and Australian moblog to see where i rank…the results for those searchs on the 26th of May 2006 are below…

Australian blog – 5th spot (image) global & 3rd spot (image) in Australia.

Australian podcast – 7th spot (image) global & 4th spot (image) in Australia.

Australian moblog – 5th spot (image) global & 3rd spot (image) in Australia.

Now you know why i get invited to speak and present at conferences, why i get interviewed by a lot of journalists (two or three articles coming out next month on a variety of topics), why people pay me to consult on emerging technology and why my next little bunch of projects is bound to stir up some interest…when i get around to annoucing them that is ;)


While i’m doing a bit of shameless self-promotion…heres one other thing…with my diverse background in the new media sector, my knoweldge of emerging technologies, my industry contacts both in Australia and overseas and my profile from conferences, stories in the media, and my blog, it probably all adds up to being a good reason for voting for me in the upcoming AIMIA National Executive elections which are on soon ;)
