Not sure how many of you will care, but I thought I’d share some cool geeky news that I’m pretty excited about.
Have you noticed how I’ve been hyperlinking the word vegetarian a bit lately? Well, our resident search guru Joel Bartlett has been at me to do it because it helps with "Search Engine Optimization." Or, in English, it helps Goveg.com rank higher in internet search engines.
Well, today, after months of super technical and top secret work behind the scenes, and after not nearly as much or nearly as technical and obviously not top secret work by me hyperlinking the word vegetarian, I’m happy to announce that GoVeg.com is now the highest ranking website on Google when you search for the word “vegetarian.”
As you also may have noticed, next on Internet-nerd Joel Bartlett’s agenda is getting his myspace profile to be the highest ranked page on Google when you search for Joel Bartlett. And he’s got some tough competition from an ABC weatherman by the same name who I will not link to for fear of increasing his search ranking . . .
All joking aside, we’re pretty psyched about this because we believe GoVeg.com is the best resource available for helping people go vegetarian, so we want it to be super easy for people to find the site. It really has taken a lot of work and many months to get there, so we’re pretty thrilled about it.

I really do love goveg.com and think it truly is the best veg website out there.......BUT don't you think you should be a team with all the other sites instead of a competitor? It's so hard to get people to become aware of a veg lifestyle and get the info out, we should really give people as many resources as possible and not shoot down the other ones.

I live in St. Louis, Missouri and am a huge supporter of the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). They have this annual event called Bark in the Park to raise money for shelter animals. This year (I was appalled to find out) they are giving away a trip to SeaWorld for the top team who raises the most money.
How does this happen? Conflict of interest I guess since Anheuser-Busch operates out of St. Louis and owns SeaWorld. Anyway, please write the CEO of HSUS a polite letter stating that places like SeaWorld are inhumane and taking large exotic animals out of their habitat and exploiting them for humane entertainment is unnecessary and something that the HSUS should not condone. Just last week 25 of the 37 penguins at SeaWorld Orlando died.
Please, Please, Please help out. Here is the CEO's information:
Mr. Wayne Pacelle
Chief Executive Officer
Humane Society of the United States
2100 L Street, NW
Washington, DC 20037
Please mail and fax a copy of your letter:
fax# 301-258-3077
Thanks you SO much for all your efforts!

That's awesome! GoVeg.com is really a great website.
Off topic: Is there gelatin in Auntie Anne's Marinara dip? On Vegetarian-Restaurants.net it says there is but on PETA2 it doesn't say this. I can't find any info on AA website. (Also, on PETA2 it says Arby's fries are okay to eat but on other sites it says they are likely to be fried in the same oil used for meats) Can anyone clarify about Auntie Anne?

goveg.com aren't shooting down the other ones.
They are only securing their position and by this a veggie page will show up faster in google (even for non related keywords) what can only be a good thing.
Btw I've started my own goveg (.be) for the Dutch speaking people.
If goveg.com could help me in any way the dutch speaking people would be very happy.
Keep up the good work!
