[TheForge] Internet-age bragging rights

[Bruce Freeman]

Here's my bragging rights, more a curiosity than a credit to me:
 
Open whatever browser (netscape, ms internet explorer, ...) or search
engine (google, ask jeeves, webcrawler, ...) you prefer and type in the
words, "treadle hammer", with or without quotes.
 
The Grasshopper seems to come up first most of the time without quotes
and always (though I've by no means tested all software) with quoted.
 
Since my Grasshopper pages provide links to other treadle hammers, it's
a useful starting point anyway.
 
Same is true for "weightless hammer" (with quotes, preferably).
 
I understand there are tricks you can use to get this sort of thing to
happen for any given web page.  I think it's a matter of the page
most-cited by other pages.  I didn't use those tricks, however.  The
pages have been cited a lot through the efforts of others.
 
At least I seem to be contributing to the discussion...
