A couple days ago for tami's beauty shop in long beach california Google put us about number 30. I'm pretty sure this was largely influence by our links to Tami's Blog. Interestingly enough Spunky was number one.

I hadn't realized that Google had a translate option. Sitemeter said that someone had been reading our blog in German. Pretty cool.
