So I’ve been thinking a lot about anchor text lately (sorry, did I admit that?), and it occurred to me that the word that is probably used as anchor text more than any other is “here.” As in, click here.

Being the creature of logic that I am, I quickly came to the brilliant conclusion that the way to find out what domains have real Google juice is to run a search for the word “here” and see what domains come out on top.

Here were the top 20 results:

1. www.adobe.com
2. www.microsoft.com
3. www.apple.com
4. www.mapquest.com
5. www.real.com
6. www.java.com
7. earth.google.com
8. www.winzip.com
9. www.flickr.com
10. www.cnn.com
11. www.mozilla.com
12. en.wikipedia.org
13. www.house.gov
14. www.paypal.com
15. www.divx.com
16. www.winamp.com
17. disney.go.com
18. www.travel.state.gov
19. support.ccbill.com
20. windowsupdate.microsoft.com

Lots of tech sites, Web tools and — surprise — some mapping and travel-related sites, too.

Yes, this is what I do in my spare time. Buh-bye.

eDrugSearch.com has been a longtime client, and I was asked to represent the company on a panel on the nationally syndicated Morning Show with Mike and Juliet on Monday.

I came with three talking points and was able to spit out about two-thirds of the first one, but hey — better to be overprepared than underprepared, right?

In other news, I’m really sorry I’ve let the Orchard go again. I’m bringing in the yard crew and we’re going to get the place gussied up again soon — I promise.
