Air America

Air America Radio launches tomorrow in 5 cities. You can listen on the web here.

I'm glad I finally found the site. Unfortunately, the site isn't coming on a google search. Bizarrely, the first hit that does come up is Central Air Media, which is clearly affiliated with Air America, but provides no link to the real site. For a while I thought that was it, that was the site, and I was very sad.

I'm still sad, though, that no one bothered to check their Google rank before they launched. The vast majority of people looking for the site are going to use Google, and they'll all be lost. They could at least have bought an ad, if they couldn't control the ranking.

That is where we come in, you and me. It's time for a Googlebomb. If you have a website, please put a link to http://www.airamericaradio.com and use the text Air America. Like this: Air America. If it spreads enough, the results will reflect it. (It works.. check this out -- Google "Miserable Failure")

The network is only in 5 cities over the air. If no one can find the site online, no one will listen. Dooooooooo it.

I added a link on the front page of my site - which gets crawled and indexed by google regularly.

My guess is they didn't want the site getting indexed by google until after its launch. Compared to having their own XM station - getting listeners through google on the opening day is probably not a high priority. If you go to the domain's opening page - www.airamericaradio.com - as of right now there is just a place holder page with no link to the url you linked to which has the live site. They will probably redirect their domain to the live url after noon today...

Thanks for the heads up,

Links need adjusted - site changed when it launched - a listen live link is available on: http://www.airamericaradio.com/
