Remember all that Google-bombing we did on Verisign? Well, it’s working. In a search for Verisign, VerisignOff is #9, and Dean Allen’s Hoopla and Verisign is #12. Of course, it helps that VerisignOff is #1 in the Open Directory (which Google weighs heavily) in the Allegedly Unethical Firms / Verisign category.

Meanwhile, #1 spots are dropping like flies. Michael Barrish lost his; Dave Winer lost his. But what’s up with the new #1 Dave? Methinks there’s a kink in the algorithm somewhere.

I am, however, still #1 for Mark, #1 for Pilgrim, #1 for 30 days, and #1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 for Dive Into. (How’s that for branding?) Also #1 for Q tag, mostly because I’m the only person who actually cares about it (and because Google likes real headers). Ditto dancing wombats.
