Idearc is watching

When I first started my blog about a couple weeks ago, I immediately signed up for Google Analytics. I ran some small websites in the past and the tracking of visitors was pretty rudimentary when compared to what Google has. I love numbers and combing through piles of data to see trends, habits and etc. A couple days ago as I was doing my daily Analytics reading when I saw about 20 page views from Texas. This immediately hit me in the face. Most of the time when I get visitors across the country it is about 3 or 4 daily visitors at the most from a particular state. So when I saw 20 and it wasn't from Philadelphia I had to check it out and see what was up. So when I saw the visitors were from Texas I dug I little bit deeper I found out they were from a city/town called Euless. I pulled it up on Google Maps and saw it wasn't too far from Dallas. I still didn't know who Euless was so interested in my small personal blog. I needed to dig deeper some more and went to pull up the network location of the users for that day. Thats when it hit me who in Euless, TX was checking out my site and probably this post. The network location Google had was "Idearc Media Corp". I put two and two together and kind of made a bet with myself that Idearc corporate headquarters was in that area. I went to Idearc's website and it was. Then I remembered that the Idearc rep I had meeting with said he just got back from Dallas on getting training for the SuperGuarantee program.

There you have it. The folks from Idearc have been reading my blog. Since my blog is small I'm sure they got to it my doing a Google search. If you google "Idearc Super Guarantee" my site is number 1, yup ahead of Idearc's own website. There aren't too many sites out there that give their own view of this program so I didn't have a lot of other sites to compete with. As of today there have been 42 page views from Idearc. Here is a video clip of a commercial from Idearc. Enjoy.

What's funny is the line "If you don't get the job right, we'll make it right". Very nice Idearc. In the next commercial I think you should say "If you don't get the job right, we'll make it right in about six weeks while you still live with the problem".
