Blog*Spot Squatted?
I moved this blog into its new home here some time around July of last year. For the first three or so years of its life, this blog lived at an upgraded ad-free Blog*Spot site, here: http://llareggolb.blogspot.com.
Now, the top level of that old Blog*Spot URL appears to have been co-opted by someone describing himself as "SEO Dave" a "search engine optimization expert consultant".
Old links pointing to content on my former BlogSpot home now lead ultimately to here.
This also means, of course, that anyone who failed to update their blogroll when I moved (*ahem* Doc *cough* Jeneane *nudge* AKMA, et al) is now pointing to this SEO Dave's site where he brags, among other things, about his current campaign to "Google Bomb" himself to the top of the old "miserable failure" search (which used to be a gag search pointing to Dubya's home page, but now points to a bunch of other places) and win this strange SERPS competition.
It also means that the #1 Google search result for my own name currently returns this SEO Dave person's site. This feels really, really weird.
What the hell's going on with that?
UPDATE: Blogger Support have managed to take back the URL, but all of the old stuff that used to live at llareggolb is gone. Sucks. It's almost like having negative Googlejuice.
