"SPARC ecache failures"

Hmmm. Was looking at the referrer logs and saw that someone reached my blog by doing a Google search on "sparc ecache failure".I mention ecache failures obliquely in my post on why I'm blogging as an example of bad communication from Sun's past. But didn't think I had enough information to show up on a Google search.

So I ran the search myself in Google to see what happens. This blog was the #1 hit! How strange. So I did a little more investigation. I used Google to see who was linked to that article and found that there aren't any external links to that article. So how does an article with no external links and only two of the three keywords rise to the top of Google? Google PageRank is a quirky beast.

Google may factor in how new a web page is. The ecache problem is certainly old news by now and doesn't have many new mentions on the WWW.

I did think of that. Another guess is that this blog does have a *.sun.com domain. So Google may give some additional "credibility" to this site because the news articles related to ecache failures would link back to sun.com.
