Yesterday I launched a new website, www.housingfroth.com. I bought it based on recent comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan about “froth” in the housing market.
I like the poetic cadence of “housing froth” and I’m thinking this is as good a topic as any to track the effect of weblog posts on search engine rankings for obscure but potentially popular terms.
Here’s some text from the NYT story on his comments:
Mr. Greenspan has tried to avoid second-guessing the markets. In 1996, he suggested that the stock prices had been pumped up by “irrational exuberance.”
But after a brief spasm of anxiety, investors drove prices higher for three more years. Mr. Greenspan has been criticized by some for failing to pre-emptively puncture the stock market bubble, which burst in March 2000, and some analysts criticize the Federal Reserve now for creating a housing bubble.
