src='http://sageblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/vlad5.PNG' alt='Google's Results for Vlad' title='Google Results for Vlad' class='alignleft' />Since most of the US bloggers and affiliates are taking easy today, enjoin their roasted turkeys and preparing for tomorrow&#8217;s and Monday&#8217;s sale marathons, I have decided to take it easy as well. So today I was doing some vanity search and to my amazement Google is listing me #5 for my name.</p><p>Before <a
href="http://sageblogger.com/googlebot-just-got-the-boot/">experimenting with Googlebot</a>, I was occupying 12th position for the term. It is true that my article on how I am planing to <a
href="http://sageblogger.com/wikipedia-and-battle-of-the-ages-vlad-the-affiliate-vs-vlad-the-impaler/">beat the &#8220;other Vlad&#8221;</a> have generated few important links, however I do not believe they were sufficient enough to jump my website to #5 position, especially competing against Wikipedia.</p><p>So what happened? I think my entire experiment has caused some what of a confusion on Google&#8217;s data centers. But it is only my guess.</p><p>I do not know how long this phenomena will last, but it appears that my experiment, although it is over, continues to affect my blog. Not only I have improved position for my name search, I have dramatically improved on some other very competitive keywords in my niche, and I am observing increase in Google&#8217;s traffic. The question is how long will this last?</p><p>Happy Thanksgiving!<strong>Similar Posts:</strong><ul
