These flying children's books are great. Instead of having to find shelf space for them, I just tell them to hover near the ceiling. As long as you don't have a ceiling fan, it's perfect! ;-)
Congrats, Shelagh.

Search me ... by: Shelagh
Hi Steve,
I did a Google search this morning on "ebook flying children's book" and my book appeared second on the list!
The power of advertising!

Thanks, webmistress extraordinaire! by: Steve B.
Shelagh, thanks for dropping back by and explaining. I guess I misunderstood a little. How nice it is to have someone else agreeing with my point!
I'm looking forward to the day when I rank #3 for Steve. (I figure it should happen sometime in the 28th century.) In the meantime, I'm just pleased to rank #1 for Steve Barancik.
And actually, I mean that. I've had people post to my sites and have their page on my site rank higher for a search on their name than their own site does.
(Not an elegant sentence, but I'm hoping you'll be able to parse it.)
I usually take that as a sure sign of a site that's not living up to its potential.
Oh, and I think I'm going to change my name to Steaghve. #1 here I come!

Amazon came top! by: Shelagh
Steve,
I knew that you said that "model airplane children's book" would pull up a book about building model aircraft. I was amused by your choice of words for a search and decided to see how well my book performed using those same words. It was a fun thing to do and I think it proved your point. I went one stage further and added "flying" and "flying machine" to see if I could succeed in coming #1 and I did, even though it wasn't my website. It was slightly better than that; it was my book on Amazon, ready for someone to buy!
Of course anyone searching for "Shelagh Watkins" will pull up my website at the very top. The interesting thing is that when I checked the stat report for my website recently, I saw that someone had visited the site after searching on Google. The search term was simply "Shelagh". This is the link:
