if you search for just "running" in google, we are the fifth result.
that's *outstanding*. I never expected us to get that high of a rank for such a generic word.

Might be google.com versus google.ca? I got it fifth on the latter, but gave up after a couple of pages on the former.

I love that the post that they link to is the one from JF congratulating me on my first Tri.
Woohoo for RM! We're slowly taking over the world!

I have noticed that if I remove the google.ca cookie from my computer, or do a search on a computer I have not used before, that I will get different sorts of results. For instance if I search on my name + toronto, I get my race results pretty high. If I remove the cookie, I get very different results.
Based on my observations, I have assumed for a while that google search results can be very individual.

I think it is to give you more relevant hits. Running for you means fast jogging. Running for someone else may mean running for office or running 100 meter dashes etc. By tracking your activity they can come closer to your interests...or...they can target their marketing closer to your interests!

Actually we have members from Alaska, Colorado, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas, Pennslyvania, Missouri, Sweden and Austraila. But without question the lion's share is Canada.
