Ok, one more fluff web post. (they’re easy to write)
I was looking through my blog stats today, and I found an interesting incoming link from – of all places – MSN Encarta, the somewhat defunct encyclopedia Microsoft took over. The link came specifically from the “incoherence” article, which certainly made me a bit curious:
Sorry for the small picture, but what you see here is the Encarta page with some Windows Live search results thrown in. It’s been a while since I’ve checked, but I’ve moved up the search engine rankings! Turns out, site longevity and outlinking does count for something.
(For the record, searching for “incoherence” yields my site as the first result on Windows Live, fourth on Google, and sixth on Yahoo! behind a freaking incoherence.com domain squatter. No wonder they’re laying people off.)
