Paradise Regained

So once upon a time if you googled david kirtley my site was the first to come up, and if you googled just kirtley my site was the second. But then I moved my site from www.sff.net/people/davekirtley/ to the current and much more succinct www.davidbarrkirtley.com. One unforeseen side effect of this was that my Google rank plunged and I found myself exiled to the pit. If you googled david kirtley I was like number 6, and if you googled just kirtley I was on like page six. I was just like, “Is this the region, this the soil, the clime, this the seat that we must change for Heaven? — this mournful gloom for that celestial light? Farewell happy fields, where joy forever dwells! And hey Google, $#@! you!” Fortunately, after most of the year, my Google rank is now back where it was, though I still can’t seem to overtake that Pat Kirtley guy.
