Number 2

I’m very upset to report that I’ve been demoted.

In Google’s English edition Keywords is now only the number two result for “Kerim.” I am no longer number one. I don’t see how I can possibly compete with a religious site, so I imagine I will never be number one again.

In Taiwan, I’m only number four. David Beaver has a post which doesn’t explain the discrepancy between the English and Chinese versions of Google, but notices some similar weirdness.

I just googled “kerim”, and keywords.oxus.net is #1 in the results for me.

Same on Yahoo (where your homepage is also #2).

You are right, I am now #1 again, and I’m #2 in the Chinese search. I wonder if this post somehow moved me back up in the rankings?
