A little SE joke

[hannamyluv]

So, with all the google madness going on this weekend, who would find it amusing that when you search on google for "search engine", google comes up #4.

I would think that at least for their own industry, they could come up as #1. :)

I confirmed this. In Google's defence, however, they come up #3 if the search term is for multiple "engines".

I wonder if we should be focusing on Dogpile or AltaVista.

Oops, I just noticed that Altavista is only PR5. I guess it's not very popular either. :>)

If you are serching for "search engine" on Google you are most likely not looking for Google :-) So from a user stand point Google sould not come up at all, Google really should filter out their own pages, right?

and see how spammy the results
look :)

You don't know the people that shop at my site... Some think Google (or Yahoo) is the internet. I think if they found that result, their brain might implode.
