It has been over a week since my rant on Google's inability to rank objects over subjects using WebCore source code as an example. Some folks suggested that I should have used "WebCore source code" instead of just "WebCore" to search.
As of 6:37pm Father's Day 2003, searching for "WebCore source code" on Google returns the target link as 8th result. But here are the interesting parts:
- Microdoc's response to my rant is the 2nd result.
- My rant itself is the 9th result.
What is the chance of the target link being bumped off the first page after a couple more blog exchanges between me and Microdocs? If a few more superlinked blog gets into the discussion, how long before the target link is bumped off the second page? Was I searching for WebCore source code or discussions about Google PageRank problems?
UPDATE: After writing this post, I searched again. This time, Microdocs's response to my rant is the 1st and target link was the 4th. Interesting.
Update: Direct link to WebCore Source Code to make it first as Már Örlygsson suggested.
