Kevin Hood is Going to Beat That Other Kevin Hood on Google

Kevin Hood is on a mission. That’s right, I said Kevin Hood. I must pronounce the word “Hood” with a weird accent, because most of the time that I say my name, people ask me to repeat my last name. I have learned to answer the question with “like Robin Hood,” which usually gets a chuckle and they realize how to spell it. Except the time I signed up for cable television over the phone in college . . . for a year I got a bill addressed to Robin Hood.

Kevin Hood is my name, don’t wear it out.

This is the official Kevin Hood blog post. The reason why I am saying my name a lot is because when I search Google for my name, this guy who shows horses comes up before me. He used to own KevinHood.com, but let it expire several years ago and I snatched it up the second it became available. The other Kevin Hood started a new website about two years ago, with a different domain name, and is still doing the horse thing. His new website has been around longer than mine, so I think that’s why it’s coming up first on Google. Until this official Kevin Hood blog post . . . look out. Get off of me “other Kevin Hood.”

Kevin Hood doesn’t need to remind you that stuffing your posts with keywords is not the ideal way to increase your search engine ranking, but it can’t kill you every once in a while. It won’t kill Kevin Hood . . . I’ll be alive tomorrow. However, therefore, please do note: the search engines can penalize you – so be careful. Do as I say, not as I do.

So what else am I going to do with this official Kevin Hood blog post?
How can I beat the other Kevin Hood in my personal search engine war?
