Main | Sir Richard Branson, Gaia Capitalism and Virgin Fuels news site discussion »

Virgin Enterprises biggest blogger blunder

It is remarkable that Virgin Enterprise Intellectual property management is letting this snowballing public relations disaster for Virgin, Virgin Fuels and Sir Richard Branson pick up speed.  They have not been on my sites to see what I'm posting since Sir Richard's big announcement.  I have bent over backwards protecting Virgin, Virgin Fuels and Sir Richard Branson in cyberspace but I'm finding this whole issue now ironic if not just down-right hypocritical.
 
I feared this would happen. Sir Richard goes public on Friday with big media announcements using keywords I've been working since September.  Traffic on the news site virginfuels.org has gone from minimal 700 average hits to over 5000 hits on Friday.  On some keywords I hold 5 out of the top 10 Google spots.

Sir Richard has made famous the keywords "gaia capitalism" and "gaia capitalist" and guess who holds the top rankings in cyberspace for those meta tags.  ME. When people want to find out more about Sir Richard and his work, it is this discussion at the top of the search engines.

Every time Sir Richard mentions Gaia Capitalism, Gaia Capitalist and/or Virgin Fuels from now on out, it is this discussion they will read.  I've worked in public relations, advertising and newspapers all my life and I know what an unnecessary disaster this has become for Virgin Enterprises, Virgin Fuels and Sir Richard Branson. They just don't seem to know it yet and I cannot understand how one of the most successful companies in history can be so completely knuckle-headed when it comes to doing business on the Internet.  GC 02.12.07  11:12
