Deep Six

Yahoo! Search Results for Richard Nelson

I was checking the site's visitor log just now, and I saw that someone had come here by performing a search on my name. Now, some of you out there might expect that if you had a Web site, it would be the top hit for your name, right? But my name is INSANELY common. Yahoo returns more than 7 million results!

And out of all those results, this site is number six. Six. SIX!

Even weirder: When you do the same search on Google--which owns Blogger, which hosts this site--I'm nowhere to be found, not in the first six results and not in the first six pages. Any theories as to why Yahoo likes me so much?

This may well be my proudest achievement.
