So it seems that Google finally did something about blogs in their index. Previously, I was the first result if you searched for my name (that would be “Johan Svensson” in case you missed it).

Now, Google first mentions my name in an RSS comment feed, of all places, on Ben Hammersley’s site. The first link to my site is on page six, linking to the Audrey project. On page 11 we have a comment I wrote on Anders Lundwall’s blog. I’ve looked all the way to page 20, but no mention of my main blog anywhere.

I used to be #1 on the term “nuisance value” as well. I still am, sort of — it now leads to this entry instead of the front page.

I googled for the names of some other bloggers — not surprisingly, Ben Hammersley and Mark Pilgrim are both #1 on their respective queries. So are Erik Stattin and Magnus Lagerstedt.

Johan Svensson isn’t exactly a rare name here in Sweden, to be honest. Both Johan and Svensson are incredibly common. A majority of the Google results for my name are either sport players or genealogy research.

Hmm. How geeky would I be if I changed my name to improve my page rank?
