Google, 'Gannett' -- then tell me what you get

Gannett Blog was the No. 3 search result today, when I used Google to hunt the Web for references to Gannett, following a tip from a reader. (No. 1 was Gannett Co. Inc., followed by the company's jobs page.)

Now, it's your turn: Where does our blog rank when you do the same search?

    On AOL search the first three were the same, following by Cornell Univ-Gannett Health Services, and then the Gannett Foundation.

    My Blog is number 11 when I search it. Guess I have a bit more work to do to get to #3.

    Search Yahoo Finance for GCI & there are some articles about the Gannett Foundation. I smell press releases.

    If you put &pws=0 at the end of the Google search string, it should give you a search for that term without accounting for your recent or usual search activity.

    When you do that, GB is indeed No. 3. Pretty good!

    You aren't even on the first screen if you do a Yahoo search.
    Gannett blog doesn't show its face until #3 on the second screen.
