“Roy L. Pearson Jr.”
Posted by Ron Coleman on May 3, 2007
I guess there’s a lot I still don’t understand about blogs. My WordPress blog stats tell me that far and away the number-one search term for surfers hitting this blog in the last two days is the phrase “Roy L. Pearson Jr.”
These are words that until this posting did not appear anywhere on this blog. And when I run the search myself, on Google, I don’t get Likelihood of Success.
Now it’s true that I did send the Roy L. Pearson story to Overlawyered, home of erstwhile blogger here David M. Nieporent, Esq., before they posted on it. I can document this (even though, it is also true, I was not credited). But is Google searching my Outlook files and working its way back to this blog? It’s not that bad. Not yet.
Can anyone explain this?

Ron: I saw the Pearson story in Obscure Store and blogged about it. I never got your email, which I’m guessing you sent to Nieporent, so please don’t be offended you weren’t credited. We don’t coordinate our posts (with some rare exceptions where Walter and I know the other has a particular interest in a subject), and likely preempt each other all the time.

Ted toys with me because he knows I am jealous both of the grand success of his most excellent blog and because he won out over me for the (regular) attentions of Mr. Nieporent!
No, seriously, I know you get leads from all over, Ted. I was just musing about what I might possibly have had to with the Pierson story.
