From the mouth of Google Babes

 

Daisy the Pig

Last week my 6 year old daughter came home from school all excited…

Daddy, Mr Buchheit (her school principal) kissed a pig today

Really?

Yes, her name was Daisy. Daddy, you have to go to Google…(thinks for a moment)… dot com and search for Daisy the Pig

So upstairs we went to the computer, and yep there at the top of the results for Daisy the Pig was Mr. Buchheit’s new friend Daisy the pot bellied reading Pig.

There are a couple of things that I like about this.

  1. This small business man was using his ranking to market himself. No need to tell the kids the URL of his site, instead just tell them to go to Google and type in the pig’s name.
  2. My daughter was excited about searching on the web for something that she was interested in, and there was the added bonus that she was going to find the result that she was looking for, because it was known to be there.
  3. My daughter now understands a little bit more of what I do for a living. :)

  1. I have tried to get my daughter more interested in what I do as she definitely has a firm understanding of social networking. Unfortunately, at 16, she really does not care about anything other than the weekend and boys.

  2. *places blinders on head

    Not going to think about her hitting 16 and running after boys… that’s way too far out in the future, while at the same time not being far enough away at all…

  3. It did not take very long to get there either. Also, it is not her running after boys that bothers me. They are running after her. That’s what bothers me. I know her taste and what she considers acceptable. Those boys I don’t know are the ones I look out for.

    Twenty years of weightlifting is at least good for intimidating teenage boys.
