Solution Watch Updates on ClaimID
March 23rd, 2006 - Fred StutzmanBrian Benzinger of Solution Watch, who is one of our favorite people – he graciously covered our beta very early, and very positively, has updated his profile of claimID. Rather than trying to sum it up, I will just excerpt Brian:
Update (03/13/06): Looks like ClaimID is starting to work! I’ve gotten some referrers to my sites already from it and seems to be working as ClaimID said. Here is a screenshot of Google results for, Brian Benzinger – no quotes.
Not bad for just being active for only a couple of weeks. Solution Watch comes up first, one of my old sites second, and then ClaimID. If someone in search visits the ClaimID, they can then find all sites related to myself and learn who I am. Some were skeptical and questioned how helpful ClaimID really is. Well, here is proof that its working – for me at least. Nice work, ClaimID.
We’ve been monitoring the search engine effects of claimID, and we’re quite excited with what we’ve been seeing. On March 8, I wrote a little bit about the search engine effect on my blog; while we’re still in beta and it is too early to talk conclusively about effects of claimID, we’re obviously very pleased with what we are seeing so far.
