While reviewing some of the links that led users to my website, I came across something surprising even to myself.

A reader happened upon my site via Google by doing a search on the famous words of Alan Greenspan:
“History has not dealt kindly with the aftermath of protracted periods of low risk premiums.”

Take a look at the print-screen of the search!

Two things surprised me about this search and result.

First, who has time to really type out that entire quip? I hope they just copied and pasted it there, because that would really be a lot of typing for a Google search. Perhaps I have grown lazy in my days on the web…

Second, and most surprising to me was my ranking on the Google search. I ranked FOURTH on the list! Number one, by the way is Brad Delong’s blog, that I regularly read, and I suggest everyone to check out. Popular? yes! Number 4?

And, did anyone notice what number 5 was? THE ECONOMIST! That means that this little ‘ol blog ranked higher when quoting G-span! Now, if the financial markets were a conundrum, what is that? My blog being listed higher than one of the most well read scholarly-based economics periodicals is quite a surprise. Maybe it’s short-lived, but either way, makes you go “Huh?”

Feel free to see how this changes over the next little while by searching here using the same criteria.
