I've never seen that happen before, and somehow thought LUGNET was immune...

Was I confused?

Google lists pages in order of the amount of links made to them from other
sites...i.e. if your page is linked to by many other sites, your page will
be higher in the list. A good example would be to search for "Shiri
Dori"...her acronym guide (a LUGNET member page) will come up in the first 5
or so results, as many folks have links to it on their sites.

Why wouldn't that be true for LUGNET member pages? Or LUGNET pages in general?

Interesting, my first two pages are my way out of date AOL pages. At
least my top level Lego page shows up third. Interestingly, it has a
description and category tag, who puts those there? It shows up as #48
in the Recreation > Collecting > Toys > Lego > Builders category. Lugnet
shows up as #1 for  Recreation > Collecting > Toys > Lego > User Groups.

(...) The categorization comes from the Open Directory Project (www.dmoz.org). The dmoz data is used by a number of sites, including Google. -- Tim Buchheim (23 years ago, 27-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
