Bigmouth Bites the Dust
UK market leaders Bigmouthmedia got a good kicking this weekend when they lost the coveted number one spot at Google for the keyphrase search engine optimisation.
The company was founded in 1997 have a team of over 200 staff across 13 offices in 10 countries on 3 continents - they have held the number one position for years apart from a few days when “something special” involving BMW happened.
To add insult to injury I believe that one of the companies that have risen above them, Cybernetmedia, is a one guy operation - well, good for you matey if this is true.
But top of Google’s pops this fine sunny morning is HighPosition - so good luck to them.
It’s reassuring to know that anything is still possible in this unpredictable industry of ours - even if we have dropped a place in the last day or two…
How long this will last is anyone’s guess but someone at Bigmouth must be hurting this morning.

Well, G’s bouncing around like a good ‘un - reminds me of the dance days - anybody’s guess what tomorrow morning will bring.
Watch this space…

Settled down again - but is this the first crack showing? Or is Google in a bit of a pickle at the moment?
I’m seeing quite a few new search engine optimisation companies entering the top twenty, some even shooting up the top ten quite quickly. A few weeks later though they start to fall.
I’m also seeing an upturn in blog spam that I thought G had sorted ages ago.
Ah well, nothing new there then.
