[WikiEN-l] Search positioning

[Gregory Maxwell]

Anyone have any guesses for the cause of the reletive positioning of
English Wikipedia in the following google searches?

BLAS wikipedia

BLAS


Results may differ: you're seeing the same effect I am if the first
doesn't return english wikipedia anywhere in the first ten pages, but
the second has it as the third hit. Obviously, throwing wikipedia in
as a keyword isn't the right way to bring wikipedia up in a result,
but a lot of people do it, and it's usually very effective.  I've
found some cases where it has stopped being effective and I'm not sure
why.
