Well, for some unkown reason.  I have dropped out of the number 4 slot on google for the name Mineer.  Although I don’t know why it has actually made it a little more fun and a little bit more of a challenge.  When, at first, I was 4th after only a few days I guess I got a little cocky.  However, the Mineer name is a name of toughness, endurance, and stubborness.  So, the others decided that they weren’t going to give me that position that quickly.

So, for now, I have to ensure that I keep a daily post on the Mineer name to ensure that Google likes what they see when they come to and crawl my blog.  Again, the purpose of the Mineer blog is to, most of all, teach myself how to optimize SEO while using a keyword phrase that is a little bit less competitive than many others that are out there.

I do invite any of you who are a Mineer to link to my blog at http://www.mmineer.wordpress.com because it would help my ranking.

Finally, today I would like to give a little bit of history on the Mineer name.  The earliest I have record of is a Carl Christian Mineer (Minuer) born in or near Malmhous Sweden.  Fortunately the name was changed to Mineer making it easier to grow up carrying that name (sound out the original spelling in your head).  Carl Christian Mineer was my 4th Great Grandfather.  However, his grandson Andrew Mineer, was the first to come to America after being baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  He was indeed a pioneer who crossed the plains on foot arriving probably in 1861 or 1862.  Hence, we are truly decendents of Mormon Pioneers.

Until next time.
