Either as f\/k\/a<\/em> or ethicalEsq,\u00a0<\/em>this weblog\u00a0shows up remarkably often at or near the top\u00a0of\u00a0the results of search-engine queries.\u00a0 Here are some instances that I found interesting, odd, or otherwise worthy of comment — usually because they were so inadvertent, or because they demonstrate how a little weblog (without using any “search engine optimization” tricks) can get its perspective, pet peeves and crusades in a position to be read by enquiring minds across the planet.<\/font><\/div>\n

<hots moms<\/strong>>\u00a0 I don’t know what the querist in Quebec had in mind, but we came in #3 out<\/div>\n
of almost 33,000 Google results, when our May 3, 2005 homepage<\/a> featured posts on “red hots”<\/div>\n
(from a baseball-haiku reminiscence by Ed Markowski) and on an FTC e-card for moms.<\/div>\n
<“terrible two’s”<\/strong>>\u00a0 Our second anniversary post — we enter our terrible two’s<\/font><\/a>\u00a0— put us in the 8th slot out of 11,400 in this Google search.\u00a0 I’m happy we didn’t mention hot moms or spanking.<\/div>\n
<acronymically<\/strong>>\u00a0 Someone in Utah was looking up this word, and the first two Google results (out of 904) was our post acronymically challenged<\/a>, in which we pondered why the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services had the acronym “CMS.”\u00a0\u00a0 Anyone find a misplaced “em”?<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
