The Continuing Saga of Shawne Merriman and Tia Taquila
Posted • September 9, 2009 • Comments Off
Tia Taquila’s side of the Shawne Merriman Story – Well at least her Lawyer’s Spin

Tequila’s lawyer is reciprocating with their own spin on Shawne Merriman. He is claiming the San Diego Chargers’ Shawne Merriman’s version of what happened the night he was arrested is nothing but pure “spin.”
Is anyone else getting dizzy?
Tila’s Lawyer — Shawne’s Story is a ‘Spin’ Move
Merriman claimed that Tila was drunk and he was trying to keep her safe by keeping her off the road — Tequila’s lawyer, Alan Gutman, says Shawne’s story will be “completely discredited.”
Gutman just released the following statement to TMZ:
Shawne Merriman and his advisors have decided that the best defense is a good offense, attacking Tila Tequila in the press with a lot of calculated spin to cover up his illegal and indefensible actions.
Fortunately, we as a society will not tolerate a 6’4″, 270 pound all-pro NFL linebacker physically assaulting a young lady who is 4’11″ and 93 pounds. It is never justifiable to brutally assault, choke, strike and imprison a woman.
Once the truth is fully revealed, Mr. Merriman’s fantastic story of how he was trying to keep Ms. Tequila safe will be completely discredited.
No one, especially a woman, should ever have to endure what Mr. Merriman did to Tila Tequila.
Now on to the keyword research results.

So what do we get out of these numbers?
(Post from Search Engine Optimizician.)
The first thing I see is that the majority of searchers are now using the proper spelling of “Shawne” rather than “Shawn” Merriman.
There is also another search phrase in the “related to merriman” searches. The predicted daily count on “merriman chokes tequila” is actually 2 more than the correct spelling of his name “shawne merriman” was when we started this venture.
The envelope says:
- Predicted searches on “shawne merriman” have risen from 38 to 113 – 197% increase
- Predicted searches on “shawn merriman” have risen from 64 to 83 – 30% increase
- Predicted searches on “merriman” have risen from 20 to 25 – 25% increase
Just to put this into perspective, my second blog post “San Diego Chargers, Shawn Merriman, Tia Taquila, and Keyword Research – The Saga Continues” had over 80 visits in the first 24 hours and the original blog post “San Diego Chargers’ Shawne Merriman and Tila Taquila” has had over 150 visits as of the time I am writing this post.
