One of the things I find interesting is to see the Google searches that lead people to my website. For example, there are 142,000,000 links for "how do you know you are a leader" and my site is the #1 result for that search. And, as another example, my site is the #3 result of 326,000 links if you search "how to fix a weed eater." I find that quite humorous.

The most frequent search that lands people on my site is "Tony Morgan." That, of course, makes sense since I am Tony Morgan. What’s interesting, however, is that I’m also the #1 search result for "Andy Stanley’s blog" even though this isn’t Andy Stanley’s blog.

Should all leaders blog? Without a blog, it seems like other people begin to define who you are. Guess that happened through word-of-mouth before blogging was a reality, but it seems more evident now especially since what I post today will live for quite sometime in Google’s search results.

John Maxwell suggested that "the true measure of leadership is influence." It’s one his 21 irrefutable laws. Today, when the Internet is so pervasive in people’s daily lives, don’t you need a blog to have influence? Or, is it possible that Maxwell’s law has finally become refutable? Either way, it doesn’t really matter to me. After this post, people will soon begin to hit my site when they’re actually looking for "John Maxwell’s blog."

Thank you Google. Keep sending people my direction. I may not have influence, but at least I’m Googlicious.
