My Blog, Your Phone

This is Jeremy Turner, and I’ve been slacking off a bit on the blog posts the last two weeks. One of the reasons for this is that I am now an iPhone carrying member of the doucherati (I hoped that I had coined the term, but was slapped in the face with yet another domain that’s being squandered). After [...]

Friday (ok, Monday) SEO Links

Friday (ok, Monday) SEO Links

I'm Jeremy Turner, and here's to me being cited as a credible source someday. In an attempt to keep the content on this site fresh I give you another post about links to things SEO related. In this episode I bring you links to articles about The Google's "Wikipedia Killer," Knol, some Wordpress SEO techniques and optimizations, and some other good stuff too. I swear. Go ahead and click already.

Strange Returns From The Google

Strange Returns From The Google

Hi there. Jeremy Turner here, and my ranking on The Google is officially confusing. In my last status update post I was happily sitting at number eleven on The Google, so close to the first page I could smell the stink that is jeremyturner.com. In preparation for an update on some of the mistaken identity emails I've received to join a fantasy football league, I entered the query jeremy turner into google on my computer at work (on my scheduled lunch break, of course) and much to my surprise there I was, results number eight and nine, sitting right below that open sore of a website, jeremyturner.com.

Fantasy Football

Fantasy Football

Hi there. Just wanted to post an update regarding my continued email mistaken identity problem. Last week I received an invitation via emal for Jeremy Turner to join a fantasy football league. The same as last year. From somebody I don't know. This email was obviously not intended for me, but rather for my doppeljeremy. Over the course of the next week I received five "RE: Fantasy Footbal" messages, one lamenting the potential non-participation of a specific colleague. If he's not to participate, then "Who will act a fool?" the respondent wondered.

Status Update

Status Update

Jeremy Turner here with another GRSU (Google Rank Status Update, but feel free to pronounce it "gru-sue"). Rather than write the thousand words, I'll just show you a picture. At first glance, I'm number one(!) on Ask.com. On further inspection you'll see that that's actually a Google Adwords ad showing up above the organic results. I guess Ask.com doesn't really care about tricking people into clicking on paid results. "Look, we put stupid little binoculars next to the real results, so backoff!"

Death, Meddle, Jeremy Turner

Death, Meddle, Jeremy Turner

Howdy. I'm Jeremy Turner, bay area graphic designer and narcissistic blogger, and this here is my second post in a series on the other Jeremy Turner's that are stealing my proverbial thunder on The Google. I decided to write about "death metal" guitarist Jeremy Turner next because last week while trying to convince my co-workers that I was the touring guitarist for a band called Cannibal Corpse, I noticed that his Wikipedia entry was marked for deletion. I really should have taken a screenshot to go along with this post, because the warning has since disappeared and you have only my word. Luckily for the both of us, my word is bond.

Mistaken Identity

Mistaken Identity

Hi. This is Jeremy Turner. Over the past two years, I've received quite a few emails intended for this guy. His GMail address is one letter off from mine. When this first started happening I just deleted the messages, but as it continued I sometimes would reply and let the sender know that I was not, in fact, the Jeremy Turner they thought I was. Surprisingly nobody ever responded.The emails sent to this other Jeremy Turner all have a common thread. They are sent from UC Davis or related domains, revolve around the the subject of UC Davis, "Aggies" alumni events, the fraternity Alpha Gamma Rho, or any combination of these criteria.

Installed Plugins: Update

Installed Plugins: Update

Hello there. This is Jeremy Turner, and what follows is an update to the list of plugins I have tried out or am currently using for this blog. Hopefully some of these have real nasty security holes that will be exploited as soon as I announce that they are installed. Oh well, here goes: All in [...]

Status Update 3 and Some Links

Status Update 3 and Some Links

Hi there. Jeremy Turner here. I’ve decided to post a quick post here to share some interesting links regarding The Google, SEO, Macs, and Firefox. Because that’s just what you do when you have a blog. Oh, for those who are counting (me), I’m currently sitting at number eighteen on The Google’s SERP for my [...]

Three Degrees of Merlin Mann

Three Degrees of Merlin Mann

This is Jeremy Turner, and I used to work with Dave. Dave went to high school with lonelysandwich. Lonelysandwich performs along with Scott Simpson on the HI-larious podcast You Look Nice Today with… wait for it… Merlin Mann! That’s right, people. Three degrees. Amazing what you find out when you pay attention. I would like [...]
