Bloggish navel gazing

Can you guess what the following phrases have in common?

• short witty poem
• Ivy League schools data
• Giuliani for president momentum
• Bush lied self-evident
• tsunami pics
• Harvard grammar
  
• Bush Kerry IQ bias
• fisk definition blogosphere
• WSJ amateur bloggers
• World Baseball Classic Van Hekken
• tsunami pics 2005
• bumpy tongues blog
• "copy of the Communist Manifesto"
• Bush knocked down the towers media

If you click on the above links, you'll find that this blog is the first search result for each. Weird, given the fairly small readership of this blog. I guess the interlocking links of the blogosphere raise all blogs' placements in search results. I suspect that the pro-blog bias will change somewhat as search engines get more sophisticated.

(For the curious, yes, this post is symptomatic of a blogger spending too much time looking at referral logs.)
