Sorry Jon, I didn't read clearly -- I was responding to
whoa! how did that happen?
without realizing it was rhetorical.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

No worries Jess. I'm not feeling very lucid today. Actually, I wasn't being rhetorical. I understand your point now. I wasn't taking into account the "front page" part. If I understand you, even though there are 2,500 pages with "firefly spoilers", few of those hits are on the front page, and google ranks front pages higher than some page buried within a site? That makes sense.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've never seen any indication of that. Does anyone have a cite?
I like this, about their ranking:
, Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily and help to make other pages "important."
But I doubt it applies to us. Yet.
Hmm.
Google's technology analyzes the full content of a page and factors in fonts, subdivisions and the precise location of each word. Google also analyzes the content of neighboring web pages to ensure the results returned are the most relevant to a user's query.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Heh. If you try "due south firefly" we're the #3 hit. However, how many people are going to search for that, I don't know. (They should, of course.)

Google also factors in references to your site and number of actual hits you receive from the results page in it's ranking.

Make the last word plural and we're number 2.
So, actual board suggestion... don't know how hard it would be to make.
Multiple message center settings, so you wouldn't have to unsub before a show if you're on the Left Coast.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
We're number one for "Leatherpants spoilers."
