Ranking #1 for your own name

Randfish mentioned egosurf, a tool that calculates how much you are associated with your own blog/site/whatever. Well I just ran it for myself out of curiosity, and this is what it told me:

ego points
irishwonder
4810
www.google.com

On Yahoo it’s even better:

ego points
irishwonder
5809
www.yahoo.com

The way they do it is pretty interesting and I’d love to have a tool for deep link analysis based on the same principle (on the second thought, there it is, right? 😉 *). One more interesting thought inspired by this toy is that this could be a criterion for choosing the right SEO – where do they rank for their own name/company name? I mean, come on, if you can’t rank #1 for your own name what can you do for other people?

They also have a link for suggesting more features for the tool – I didn’t suggest it there directly but will say here what I thought would be neat – they should make something people could place on their sites/blogs to display their points – with a link back to egosurf 😉 – So here we go, a free linkbait idea for you guys – no need to thank me but I’m not placing a direct link to you until you implement this feature 😉

* – Oops I probably shouldn’t have posted it, now everyone and their fleas will use it for that until the lads implement captchas or something….. oh well….
