Searches for Tom Brokaw's NBC video about Canada started to spike after NBC had YouTube remove the video due to copyright violation. NBC.com hosted the video on their site, but due to IOC territory rights, you couldn't view the video from outside the USA.
Don't tell NBC, but you can see that awesome Tom Brokaw video right here.

It's been awhile since I updated you all on my Toronto Blog Google Challenge. I want to rank #1 in Google for Toronto Blog searches. I want to be the definitive Toronto blog, according to Google.
What makes this challenge particularly tough are two multi-authored and financed blogs. As I've said before, I am but one man doing this for shits and giggles during coffee breaks, intermissions and commercials.
I am currently ranking 2nd overall when you search for toronto blog in Google. That's out of 44,900,000 indexed sites, by the way.

No, I don't have pictures of Sandra Rinomato's breasts. She's the host of a show called Property Virgins I once wrote about, and I rank very highly for her name. I also rank very highly for searches for her breasts. That's solely because someone wrote about her breasts in the comments.
A lot of people are awfully disappointed when they click through to that entry...
I've been keeping a close eye on the world of Search Engine Optimization for several years now. In fact, one reason this blog came to be was so I could use trial and error to see what worked for the bots. Over the past few years, one thing became abundantly true with regards to the biggest search engine of them all, Google.
Google doesn't care about your "keywords" meta tag. I can't tell you how many arguments I've had with people over this one fact. Earlier today, Google made it very clear.
Q: Why doesn't Google use the keywords meta tag?
A: About a decade ago, search engines judged pages only on the content of web pages, not any so-called "off-page" factors such as the links pointing to a web page. In those days, keyword meta tags quickly became an area where someone could stuff often-irrelevant keywords without typical visitors ever seeing those keywords. Because the keywords meta tag was so often abused, many years ago Google began disregarding the keywords meta tag.
It's all explained in this video. In a nutshell, you're wasting time stuffing keywords in your meta data. It's all about creating content and putting the content in the right places. And that's one to grow on.
