    Found it kinda funny this morning when I was looking through the SE's and found that the anchor in my signature here on the forums outranks my actual site.

    For the keywords I am #1 in Yahoo and MSN but 3rd page in google. Fortunatly for me DP got me on the front page of results anyways.

    Funny stuff :)

    Anyone else ever have this happen?

    I've seen this happen with sandboxing in the past - could that be the case here? Is your site outranked by many sites that simply link to it or mention it?

    Point well taken.

    Now that you mention it, yes. Any ideas?


    Sorry for the edit, but now you have me researching. Several sites that rank higher do mention mine and a couple link to me. Another one has many of my posts in the forum with my site in the sig.


    Edit: ummm... why did this get moved to website reviews?
