We must be doing something right...

When other companies buy our name - WSO2 - from Google Ads. I recently noticed this sponsored Google link at the side of my email:
Now maybe we've created a new Industry Category ("WSO2 Mashups") but I guess these guys meant to register the words as Google AdWords but maybe have their own name in the title. I guess there's no accounting for taste! I'm pretty pleased that they feel they can share their Google Ad money on us.

So then I typed "WSO2" into Google, and what did I see:
Cool. Iona obviously think we are so important they need to buy our keyword.

(By the way, if you type "Iona" into Google, you'll find we don't sponsor that word.... only Iona does!)

Try searching for "Dan Diephouse". "Ross Mason" also used to turn up ads, but seems thats not going anymore. Only a matter of time before they figure out how unprofitable my keyword is... ;-)
