It's not geographic and there's a logorithmic formula that some engines use to rank sites. There are pages worth of how the searching works but like you, I just love to google it all. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01103174716600210966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185688415232400592.post-77902962875120541362008-01-04T10:50:00.000-08:002008-01-04T10:50:00.000-08:00I like that fact that this is in b/w.

When I searched for "spike's auto upholstery" on Google, I also found your place in OR. For fun, I just searched for "spike's" and it found "Spike's Junkyard Dogs", a hot dog place in the east coast. Sounds like an interesting eatery.AVCr8teurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17791962268368737548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185688415232400592.post-73677683860201580372008-01-04T08:48:00.000-08:002008-01-04T08:48:00.000-08:00J'aime bien les photos en b&w, et le nom de ce gar...J'aime bien les photos en b&w, et le nom de ce garage est vraiment très original.<BR/><I> <BR/>I like the pictures in b & w, and the name of the garage is very original.</I>Olivierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00602980523811128510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185688415232400592.post-63098230960886677572008-01-04T07:47:00.000-08:002008-01-04T07:47:00.000-08:00Black & white would be a nice version.

This doesn't seem to me to be a great way to attract customers to any kind of upholstery business. It makes me wonder if his office chair has a bunch of upturned tacks glued to it.Bob Crowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08276510331824603844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185688415232400592.post-68586497411562495892008-01-03T18:33:00.000-08:002008-01-03T18:33:00.000-08:00Whew!
