The World of Buggy Software

Why doesn’t Google correctly index my website? You’d think that if you did a Google search for “zarjay.net,” my main page would be the first result. Instead, the first result is either my photo gallery’s RSS feed, which doesn’t make sense, or my Wikipedia profile, which isn’t even on my site at all! I don’t claim to understand Google’s methods for indexing websites, but you’d think from common sense that a search engine should correctly find a URL if you search for it. A9, Ask.com, Yahoo! Search, and even Windows Live Search all correctly find my site; they even find it when you search for “Zarjay,” my favorite web alias. I don’t expect this website to be the top of every search result, but it’d be nice if Google indexed my site correctly.
