What’s in a name?
When I signed up with Blogger one day, I had not given a careful consideration to the name of the blog or even the title. Before this blog, I used to start blogs and would quickly lose interest and would delete them after a few months.
But with Fresh Perspectives it was different from the very beginning. I thought I would want to provide my perspectives on all things interesting! And named the blog Interesting Observations! Little did I know that the names do matter!
This time I commented on other blogs and the blogging community quickly took me under its wings. Then one day I realized I had ‘met’ quite a number of bloggers who were blogging on WordPress so I felt I needed to get my own domain and move on WordPress too. Well, by now I had gained quite a number of backlinks and didn’t feel like changing the name from Fresh-Perspectives to anything else but couldn’t get the .com domain so settled with .net! But I still kept the name Interesting Observations!
As I got to know more and more people via social networking sites and group writing projects and forums, more and more people started asking me why I call my blog by a name that is different than its domain! well, I don’t have a very logical answer other than the truth - that I wasn’t being careful!
And a couple of weeks ago if you searched Interesting Observations, it was no where to be found on the net! But, today I Googled Interesting Observations and am pleased to share that this blog is 2nd in the top 5 list on Google and tops the search list on Yahoo
I think that is quite an improvement :-) Although I still have no idea how that happened lol

hi pearl, thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog. It was delightful
Hope you’ll come back again soon! God bless
you are welcome Emmyrose! thanks for stopping by here too… of course I’ll be reading you more often now
I started with Blogger too, but glad I finally migrated to WP. At Blogger I was not thinking of what to call the url as it was integrated with Bloggers anyway. The title of my blog; ‘RennyBA’s Terella’ was important to me though (you have probably read the story on my ‘About’ page), so therefore it was natural to pick www.terella.no when migrating to WP and got my own domain.
When started I carefully picked my nick though and now both are consider quite successful at Google too
I was pleasantly surprised to see the site topping the search lists so thought even though initially I made a mistake, guess now I must have done something right!! unless someone can tell me this was a sheer one time chance or something, in which case I better do something to keep it at the top
You see? that’s the proves of your popularity! ;p
It’s always a pleasant time to see our keyword or title on the top of google and yahoo SERP!
haha sure it feels pretty good!
that’s great news …Pearl……
obviously the name was meant to be……
I know of two “laketrees” on the web…..so that’s good…I just have to get my blogs on to my domain ….ah maybe one day
thanks Kim… the name was meant to be
there are others with this name really? I always get your blog on top of the search results when I type laketrees though…… your work is fantastic Kim and it does deserve its own home…. you can get the domain and still stay on blogger until you find a good hosting plan
