Search Engines: Highly ranked pages on this web site

When reviewing the web server logs a few days ago, I noticed that I get a lot of traffic via search engines, like Google, MSN, Dogpile, Yahoo, Mamma, and others.

I was amused to find that some of the pages on this web site were ranked very high, without me intending them to be so.

Here is a list of highly ranked pages, at the time of writing this article (July 2004).

Of course, the ranking may change over time, as search engines refine their ranking algorithm, and as new content is added and removed to/from the web.
