I just did a google search on my domain name, without the www or com, and the second listing that shows up is an amazon listing that has nothing to do with the keyword search! All the rest of the listings are mine, of course, since my domain name is two words joinged together (without a hyphen) and therefore is a nonsense word and not a real word (so I am the only one who would be likely to use it).

I checked the amazon link that shows up, and nowhere in the source code of the page does the nonsense keyword (my domain) appear.

What gives? Any thoughts?

p.s. Im not mad or anything, since im not one of those who bows down to the google god in trembling fear, but I am curious.

Is that page in the Google cache? If so, check it and see if it says the keyword appears only in links pointing to that page. Almost certainly this is why. As for this being a nonsense word that is 2 words joined together, probably someone linked to the Amazon page that way through a typo.

Ah, I see! It makes more sense now, thanks!
