Even if Spreading Santorum isn't going to be the top hit on the Google search result of santorum, I think it's safe to say the original goal of the neologism is has already been reached, and santorum's gonna stick.
You got scrubbed. There's no way this is a current coincidence. But yeah, they did it the google way. Not that surprised, really, but a little disappointed.
Looking up "definition of santorum" pulls your site three times (more or less) on the front page.
@8, others - I don't think there's nearly enough evidence to say the site was scrubbed intentionally yet. As I said, it's possible one of the side-effects of recent changes did this, and it's possible they knew that was the case and were happy about it, but the fact that 2 of the top 3 results are still about the neologism, and that other parts of the spreading santorum site are still prominently listed, including dead pages, suggests to me something less nefarious, but of course it could be both things.
Yes, I monitor my own Google page rank like a hawk.
In fact, I was surprised when the forum my friend Brian Hansen and I run, http://you-read-it-here-first.com took the number one slot for the query "you read it here first".
My current challenge is that the ever-unique New York Times started some kind of weekly column called...You Read It Here First...so they are nipping at our heels.
Do those New York Times guys ever write anything they thought of, or do they sniff web content all day long and then call it their own...I thought HuffPo was bad...
@ 1: i thought Santorum, by definition, is frothy, not sticky.... Now i'm confused... Are you telling me there is another definition of santorum out there?
I find it fishy that the main page for spreading santorum doesn't show up for at least the first 5 pages (I stopped looking after 5), yet the blog AND another page from the website do. (shouldn't http://spreadingsantorum.com show up before http://spreadingsantorum.com/index2.html…)
