Creepy!

Now, as far as search engines go, I feel like Google generally does a good job sorting out the relevant pages from the riffraff. Yahoo, on the other hand, needs some more help. Recently, one of my blog entries has been receiving hundreds of hits. Which one? Well, the one that was effectively my first real post on this new website: Thanksgiving Madness. Why? Because it is coming in on the Top 10 for the search “Thanksgiving Fun Facts” (number 5) as well as “Fun Thanksgiving Facts” (number 8). Unfortunately for those unsuspecting surfers, that page has absolutely nothing to do with the history of Thanksgiving at all, unless you consider what I did last year to celebrate Turkey Day history. Now, I don’t mind the traffic, but I feel a little guilty that it has absolutely no relevance, so I just decided to edit the post to include the outline of my lesson plan for Thanksgiving. At least there’s some actual information in there. Also, I just found this website from the US Census Bureau, with some very interesting Thanksgiving Facts that I thought I'd share :o) .

But actually, this isn’t the first time I’ve had issues with search engines. For many years, I was one of the web’s leading experts on druidism. Yep, that’s right, druidism. When I was in NINTH GRADE I did my history report on druidism. At that time I was also exploring how to create webpages, and so, not having much else to post, I posted my report. It became popular in the neo-pagan circles as a good introduction to druidism. I actually took the page down years ago, and yet I’ve found it copied elsewhere, without credit mind you, and thus share with you the link. If this isn’t a lesson in using the Internet as a credible source, I don’t know what is!
