Google treats and tricks

Timely with the 144th post on this blog the world's most popular search engine has given me a present.

When you search searched for my first and last name (no quotation marks) the 1st result on the list is was my own blog.
Congratulations to me :)

I don't know a thing about website positioning techniques and yet I've made the impossible - I have promoted my own name to the top of the list. I wonder for how long - probably until next WSC when all the Mattel hype starts again.

Strangely enough the search for my first and last name written with quotation marks returns my blog "only" at position 10... :)

And now to the weirdest thing of all - after I have published this post the search which previously returned my blog as number 1 now returns my blog only at number 7.

It must be that Google thinks I'm trying to cheat it by using the keywords "Google" and "website positioning".

C'mon Google, Don't be evil.
