You know what's funny?

My Google bait has been gobbled up -- already, after a few hours. But not in the version from my mun journal, in the cross-posted version from Teja's character journal!

I have, upon occasion, found a character journal on Google, but never a mun journal. And never that fast! Seems that the character journals in Milliways are quite well connected, so that somebody that posts frequently in that well-linked comm will in turn get spidered by Google more often than mere pedestrian mun journals.

But mun or pup -- now let that bloke do his next ego search, and find himself mocked for bowdlerising 19th century canon!

**lurks and waits**

Haha, I just googled teja dahn parker for the fun of it, and your post came up first.

I think setting google traps might be a hobby to be considered...

[yakalskovich]

Yes. In Real Life (TM) that hobby is called 'SEO', for Search Engine Optimisation, and some people ask lots of money to apply that special sort of magic potions to a web site.

Due to the well-connectedness of Milliways, I just put up a post, and there I am! On the first page for '"Herb Parker" dahn' as well, which is a more likely combination he'd be looking for, if he did an ego search.

But how do you know the bait has been taken?

**lurks and is confused**

[yakalskovich]

Oh, I only know that Google has taken the bait - within hours, I'm leading the search results!

Now I wait, in the hope that the translation dude (as Xaldin-mun aptly put it :=)) does ego searches on Google to see how his translation is doing on the big bad internetz; and then he will find me, and find himself mocked, and probably make contact in some way...

Am at work, but still with the boss-less-ness; so I risk a small not-logged-in comment on my mun journal.-
