How My Materials Rank in the Search Engines, Part III
Sunday, July 10, 2005
This is a fun little thing to do, when one doesn't feel like doing much (that's me today). I don't have the energy to write today, but "searching" is a lot less laborious and more recreational (thus quite suitable for the Sabbath). My last examination of how my papers were faring in Google was on 10-22-04. I had also posted a similar survey on 4-12-04. The following list will provide a running tally of how various web pages of mine ranked, on those two dates, and today (7-10-05). I won't bother making all the links again. They can be found in the previous paper:
1 / 1 / 1 Bible and Tradition [also, the 2nd entry]
1 / 1 / 4 The Papacy ["papacy": #6]
1 / 1 / 2 Sacramentalism [also, #3]
1 / 2 / 2 Development of Doctrine [also, #3]
1 / 2 / 3 Communion of Saints
1 / 1 / 2 John Henry Newman
1 / 1 / 1 Malcolm Muggeridge [also, #2]
1 / 1 / 3 Theological Liberalism
2 / 1 / 1 Traditionalist Catholics
2 / 2 / 1 Sacred Tradition
2 / 2 / 9 Anti-Catholicism
[it still lists my old web page that is defunct! My new one, though, comes in at #13]
3 / 2 / 5 Justification
3 / 2 / 3 Holy Trinity
4 / 6 / 8 Purgatory
4 / 4 / 5 Scripture and Tradition
5 / 5 / 37 Eucharist [!!! what happened?]
5 / 4 / 4 C.S. Lewis
5 / 5 / 4 G.K. Chesterton
5 / 4 / 11 Penance
6 / 5 / 6 Blessed Virgin Mary
6 / 8 / 11 Heresies
8 / 11 / 10 Christian Apologetics
9 / 49 / 42 Sola Scriptura
[another paper of mine is listed at #29]
9 / 4 / 6 Catholic Apologetics [also, #7]
10 / 6 / 8 Church Fathers
Here's most of a second list that I included only in the October survey -- again, see the links there (followed by current ranks):
5 / 8 Protestantism
17 / 17 Ecumenism
3 / 7 Sacrifice of the Mass [also, #8]
1 / 1 Salvation Outside the Catholic Church
[a single paper; actually by Fr. John A. Hardon. My topical web page along these lines comes in at #2]
5 /4 Salvation Outside the Church
1 /3 John Hardon
2 /1 Moral Theology
5 / 14 Traditionalism
[my book on the subject]
4 / 3 Catholic Converts
2 /3 Eastern Orthodoxy
14 / 11 Orthodoxy
2 /6 Infallibility
6 + 7 / 6 + 7 Private Judgment
[two papers]
13 / 12 Christian Philosophy
10 / 14 Cosmological Argument
1 / 1 Theistic Arguments
4 / 11 Penance
3 / 1 Romantic Theology
2 / 4 Anglicanism
3 / 5 Catholicism
2 / 6 Denominationalism [paper]
Looks like a little bit of "slippage," but perhaps that will be rectified in an upcoming website redesign, to be undertaken shortly by Derek Sheppard.
