Wh-Eu, the Power of Google
March 1, 2009
Amit Agarwal wrote an interesting, brief item here. The French town of Eu changed its name. The reason? To improve its Google ranking. Agarwal said:
The query “eu” is fairly popular among Google users but a lot of potential tourists may be missing the scenic beauty of this French town as it doesn’t rank that well in search engines.
Good example of the power of Google. I can’t get the French to talk to me. Google gets the French to change the name of town. The addled goose is in awe of Googzilla.
