If you, like me, are a Virgin Blue Velocity Club member chances are you would have received a mistakenly sent free upgrade to their Velocity Gold membership.
This is a membership that provides loads of extra goodies for frequent travelers, including lounge membership (food, showers, web access and more), priority check in, more luggage allowance and loads more.
Anyway, Virgin Blue sent out the FREE upgrade offer by mistake.
A few hours later they realised that mistake and sent an apology email, clarifying that, yes indeed, someone had cocked things up a bit and I (along with lots of other people) weren’t really getting the free upgrade. Ooops and sorry.
There has been such an outcry over this from some quarters, including the threat of a Class Action, demands for compensatory travel vouchers and more that I decided to write a Top 10 list of ways Virgin Blue could have handled this mistake better.
Self Righteous Indignation Hits An All Time High
10 Ways Virgin Blue Could Have Done Better
Not have such a bunch of self righteous, over-inflated ego maniac, pompous, arrogant, entitlement assuming jerks as Velocity Club members who will whinge, whine and get their panties in a twist over a simple error that gets very quickly corrected.

Here’s an idea - worry about stuff that’s important in life.
The fact that you didn’t get an upgrade you’re not entitled too isn’t so important in the big scheme of things.
Who, in their right mind, would think that doing this video below to promote Denmark using the premise that its woman are beautiful and as eager for a shag as a dog on heat, wouldn’t create hordes of furious people (especially Danish women) looking to castrate the marketing people responsible??
But then there’s this side of that particular coin.
It’s worked in creating awareness of Denmark and its women.
Not sure this video will lead to male tourists flocking to the country, but awareness is a decent platform to launch from.
I’m sure Danish women are beautiful.
But I reckon you might get more tourists if you show other things you can see and do in the country other than the women.
Wow. That’s a whole lots of places the data gets sourced from.
So you can see the importance of having your face/brand/business in many different places.
If you’re in business and not in all of those places, then you need to be because you want people to find the right information on you and your business.
Don’t let other people control the information that people see about you.
This post is about how to get a decent ranking in Google for a term you want – it’s not comprehensive, but it will do the job.
I was looking at wedding photographs by Hailey Bartholomew earlier and that’s still top of mind, so let’s target a term Hailey would want (I think – I haven’t actually asked).
Hailey’s a wonderful wedding photographer in Brisbane (an Australian city). Mmmmm, I wonder what terms people would use to search for a wedding photographer?
Okay, first we need to understand that you can really only get a good ranking for 1 term per page (not always, but generally).
