isn't this the only thing google can do for you?
The issue is about people finding what they are looking for, by using
sensible keywords.
Today, the Google rank for my search sunk back to page 5 (results
41-50).
Not in Yahoo yet but it might follow soon, we will see.
Anyway, in the top 20 Google results my site is mentioned 5 times.
Maybe
the reason why it has no impact on the ranking of the site itself
is that
several of them are blogs or wikis using the rel=nofollow option in
links,
but the outcome is irrelevant nonetheless.

interest. Getting a good google page rank ostensibly
means that
other web sites with good page ranks are linking
to the site.
yes, but this has little to do with google and much with the
others sites :-), and the subject of the post is "google and
wikis"
Right. Now it has changed.
I apologize because my problem probably has nothing to do with
