As you can see, 'what google likes' is dominated by lists. I wondered if people who were finding 'Famous French People' were finding what they wanted, which would be good, or just stumbling on the page while looking for something specific, which is not necessarily as good. I'll print the results of that inquiry after this list:

I think it's fairly clear that (a) lots of people want to know about "famous French people" and (b) when they get to our page, they are going to get exactly what they want.

So for *this list*, anyway, it's seems unquestionably a good thing that we have it.
