The googleability of Matthew Gonzalez
Posted: February 29, 2008
So I have been trying my hardest to make my site and me more googleable. One of my main problems is that my name, Matthew Gonzalez, is actually quite common among first- and second-generation Hispanic-Americans.
Today I was happy to see that when I googled “Matthew Gonzalez“ (without the quotation marks) that magzalez.com was fourth. Now, any first-page hit to me is awesome, I don’t need to be No. 1.
Even though Matthew Gonzalez is a common name however, there is really just one Matthew Gonzalez that gets me every time, former San Francisco mayoral candidate Matthew Gonzalez. This guy is a Green Party member who came dangerously close to becoming the first Green Party member to ever win anything including, but not limited to, mayoral races, presidency, beauty pageants, raffles*.
Well guys, things are going to get even tougher around here. I was watching Jay Leno’s monologue last night, and he was dropping some jokes about Ralph Nader and the ridiculous nature of his presidential candidacy. Out of the blue Leno says Nader has chosen a running mate, and he drops the name of our favorite San Francisco lawyer, activist and Green Party Member, Matthew Gonzalez! Now the idea of his joke was to just say his name and then say “Who’s that guy anyways?” Naturally the joke was wasted on me because I know who that guy is. I know him very well.
