My Name is Mike, and I'm a Google-Whore

Hello, my name is Mike, and I'm a Google-Whore.
Yes, I admit it.
There are millions of us out there, of course.
It's our dirty little secret.

I am in a race
with every other Michael McCafferty on the planet
(and there are a surprising number of us)
to rise to the top of the search engine pages
when anyone looks for our name.

There are so many people named Michael McCafferty:
a Canadian politician,
a movie star,
a colorectal surgeon,
a tattoo artist,
a cunning linguist,
a lawyer in Australia,
a Canadian rockabilly double bassist,
a gaggle of Micks in County Donegal in Ireland...
I could go on and on,
for our numbers are legion.

If only I were named something like
Framistan Rumplestiltskin
then I would be a Google-Whack
and my life would be so much simpler.
I could rest easily in my hammock,
knowing that there are no others
plotting to overtake my top position in search results.

I am thinking of joining a 12-step program,
just as soon as I beg one more link back to my site,
or find some way to rig the system in my favor.
I know those others with similar names
are doing the same...
Oh, there is no sleep for the weary.

Won't you help me and put a link to
www.MichaelMcCafferty.com
on your website?

Oh, God, deliver me from this affliction!

(ok, for those of you who can not sense sarcasm,
this is what it looks like)
