Rand Fishkin’s Belated SuperBowl Proposal Gets A Yes
Feb 7, 2007 at 6:48am ET by Danny Sullivan
Have you been wondering who the mystery guy was behind plans to pop the question to his girlfriend during a SuperBowl commercial last Sunday? Now you know – search marketer Rand Fishkin.
Rand’s plans for the SuperBowl announcement didn’t happen, so it was backup plan time — a commercial during one of her favorite shows last night, Veronica Mars. And yeah, he got a yes :)
You can see Rand’s proposal on video here:
Geraldine’s incredibly surprised (and somewhat hyperventilated reaction) is video here:
How Rand’s kept her from figuring it out all this time is amazing. Rand answers some questions about the entire proposal plans here, including how the original plan to have a commercial during the SuperBowl almost happened to the point of filming a commercial, until the advertiser plugged the plug at the last minute. The Seattle PI has a great rundown on the story here.
You can leave congrats at the My Super Proposal site here — or over at the SEOmoz blog here. And Geraldine and Rand — congrats from all of us here at Search Engine Land!

Geraldine’s reaction is fantastic. I hope someone had a paper bag to hand.
Another one bites the dust and another ones down and another ones down and another one bites the dust – hey hey hey and another one bites the dust!
Congrats and too bad about the Super Bowl crapping out but at least you got it on another venue.
CONGRATS RAND!!!!!!!!! Time to swing by your office and congratulate you in person. I wish you a lifetime of happiness.
