There can only be 1 Jason Russo!!!
As some of you may or may not now. Aside from my alustrious career as a heavy metal vocalist. I also dabble a touch in search engine optimization or (SEO). Meaning, I try to get myself ranked high in google when people search for specific key phrases. Not that many people aside from myself are actually searching for “Jason Russo” on google.com, myspace, and other popular websites; I tend to make it my personal mission to make sure that I’m in the top of the searches for my own name.
My ego tends to get bruised however from time to time when I discover there are several other Jason Russo’s in this world. If I could turn back time I’d change my name to something unique. I think Madonna, and Cher had the right idea. When you search that you’re almost certain to get them to come up because how many people are named Madonna or Cher? Guess that’s not a good example though because they were already famous prior to the web.
My old band, Herod for example. Very hard to get us in the top ten because Herod was a king and also mentioned in the Holy Bible. Hard to get your Heavy Metal Band ranked in the top ten when there’ll more than likely be thousands of pages about King Herod and religion on the web.
Always took pride however if I could get myself and people in my band(s) ranked in the top ten of major websites for their name. If you’re curious what I’m talking about; go to google and query your own name. See what comes up, you’ll be surprised to find out how many people might share your name.!
I searched google.com tonight and found myself ranked #2 and 3 for the keyword “Jason Russo” #1 is some guy on myspace in Florida.

Sorry to say Jason Russo in Florida, but I’m going to work on getting you bumped down because you have a bad song on your profile and some stupid survey. You must be bumped off. Sorry.
I’m glad I’m #2 and #3 but that took some work. What is really been quite the struggle for me though and the whole basis for my blog is that there is this singer/song writer named Jason Russo in a band named Hopewell on mercury records.

This guy is everywhere! And, he’s a singer. This is not good folks!! I think people might confuse us. That being said, I have no choice but to do everything in my power to get him bumped down off the searches.
For the record I am NOT Jason Russo lead singer from the band Hopewell on Mercury Records.! I am Jason Russo lead singer of Darkling.
Therefore I feel it is my personal duty to wipe you off of the first page of the search results. Because ……….
THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE JASON RUSSO!!
