    While investigating a web crawler, I ended up on a site analysis website. So I stuck in the nLab and it told me which pages were our “top ranked” pages (according to some algorithm that probably means about as much as citation index does for journals). Top pages:

    1. The nLab homepage (obviously)
    2. Welcome to the nForum (that’s a bit of a surprise)
    3. Urs’s personal page on the nLab (not so surprising)
    4. evil

    “evil” our fourth-ranked page? Big sigh. The criticisms on the categories mailing list suddenly strike me as having more force (that this is not just some restricted usage known only in a circle of Baez – word has gotten out!).

    Yes, let’s hope it doesn’t mean much…

    At least on my system (that is, with the cookies that Google happens to have dropped on my system), “evil” is also the first keyword listed under “nLab” in the search results that appear when I google “nLab”.

    This is so for a long time, already. I think ever since the nLab had reached a size that Google started to list sub-pages for it in its search results.

    One thing to note is that the nlab and nforum are treated as separate sites, so links between the two count as external links.
