This page was posted on Nov. 29, 2006.  Three days later, on Dec. 2,
Google's rankings improved dramatically.   Maybe that's because
it was mentioned on two prominent blogs.   After ten days the
story was mere history, and Google trashed our rankings again.
Is this any way to run a so-called "objective" search engine?

Google hates Wikipedia-Watch
