Comment Policy

Due to my site being quite popular with comment spammers, I’ve got a new policy on comments. Everything has to be reviewed before its posted. Its a bit of a headache, but in the interest of keeping the site clean, I’m going to go that route for a while.

Also, if anyone knows any good spam blockers, please let me know.

Thanks!

This is exciting. Try this link:

Google Search – Dan Donovan

Last summer, Google didn’t even know I existed, other than a few race times way down in the search results. Less than seven months after starting my blogs, a Google search now puts me at the top of the list. Fascinating.

I find this interesting because it comes back to the idea of a “Personal Brand.” I’m still refining my vision and brand, but slowly things are taking shape. It’s encouraging to see the visits to my website slowly going up, and fun to be on top of Google.

PS – I am still a long way from being a true Google “superstar”. Eric Sink shows up on Page 1 of Google with a simple search for “eric”, as he discusses in this post.

I’ll have to make showing up on Google’s first page with a search for “dan” my next goal!! 🙂
