I Got Gomeried

Update: Gomery - Bloggers Flex their Muscles

__________________

A week ago I noticed no PR blogs had written anything about the Gomery Commission into the Canadian sponsorship scandal., so I thought I'd post an item. Just a wrap-up of recent CBC, Globe and Toronto Star coverage.  I noticed a slight uptick in hits to this site, but that happens sometimes.

As the story got more interesting, I added to the postings.

Today, my three Gomery-related postings generated more hits in one day than I've received for the two months I've been writing about marketing, communications and technology.

Go to Google.ca, and under Sponsorship Scandal, I'm the seventh link from the top.  Misspell Gommery, as I accidentally did on my first posting, and my blog shows up in the first two or three links on most search engines.

I joked in a recent item that I should try writing about Paris Hilton or nipples in order to attract attention. I guess I don't have to bother.  All the Canadians itching to get around a publication ban and find out what ad executive Jean Brault testified have been scanning search engines and blog feed sites for the forbidden fruit.

At least one U.S. blog has a fairly detailed description of Brault's testimony, hence the sudden interest in what bloggers have to say about the inquiry.

I guess I'll save my Paris Hilton item for a slow news day . . .
