Google demotes DU?

[SlipperySlope]

This appears to have just happened recently.

Before today, when googling on "du", this site was the #2 link on google. Now, it doesn't show up at all.

http://www.google.com/search?q=du

Is it just me?

WATCH IT; SPREAD IT http://www.bushflash.com/right.html

Peace.

www.missionnotaccomplished.us - How ever long it takes, the day must come when tens of millions of caring individuals peacefully but persistently defy the dictator, deny the corporatists their cash flow, and halt the evil being done in Iraq and in all the other places the Bu$h neoconster regime is destroying civilization and the environment in the name of "America."

[SlipperySlope]

13. So at least 3 of us have it missing

Me, Pharaoh, and Dragonfli are all having this happen.

I wonder if they made the change, but it takes time to propagate...

[BrotherBuzz]

20. Try refresh/reload and try again

Just an idea...:shrug:

[lockdown]

25. Any of you using Google Personalized search

by any chance? If so deleting any google cookies might sort it. Probably worth trying that even if you're not using the personalized thing.

Google sometimes localizes results and this may give weird results.

http://www.google.co.cr/search?hl=es&q=du&btnG=B%C3%BAsqueda+en+Google&meta=

Other results, depending on country:
http://www.google.fr/search?q=du
http://www.google.it/search?q=du
http://www.google.ru/search?q=du
