Did you have trouble getting on Rushmore Drive this morning? Well you weren’t the only one; it seems as if after Johnny Taylor, CEO of Rushmore Drive, appeared on the Steve Harvey Morning Show, drones of users flooded the site slowing it to a near crawl for most of the morning. The interview also subsequently led to Rushmore Drive being the #1 most Google(d) term according to Google Trends.
The surge in traffic caused by the Steve Harvey Morning Show, in particular the traffic from Google, reminded of the uphill battle Rushmore Drive faces as they attempt to get a piece of the search market share. I mean, isn’t it ironic that it took a search engine to find a search engine? What do you all think? Can Rushmore Drive capture enough of Google’s search market to become profitable? And if so, how?
