This is a small bug-test. Please excuse

Google search bait the first: nosferatu__111

The idea is to see how long it takes Google to notice, and to see if it finds and indexes both search baits. My prediction is that it won't see the second one, which is below the fold.

The point of the first one is so that I can tell when the googlebot processes this entry. I'm not really too concerned with how soon that takes place; that isn't the point of this experiment.

When it does, what I'm betting is that it still won't see the second one. I think that the googlebot isn't processing our "more inside" sections, based on my inability to use Google to find some older posts of my own. I wanted to definitively prove or disprove that.

3 Just scrolling back through my posts to find some extended entries, and searching for them in Google.

This one worked and as you can see, it not only found the main post, but all the different archives and folders that it got posted into.

This one worked too, but found only two of the four locations for some reason.

This one worked fine.

Pixy, the problem seems to be in "more inside" sections. I tried using this post just now as a test subject. That link goes to the dividing line; everything below that wasn't on the front page.

Searching for "Takuto is beginning to collect" hits. That text is above the fold.

Searching for "upper right corner supposed" fails.

What's curious is that the first one returns the link to the full body of that post, which includes the second string. Yet Google doesn't know about the second string.

Anyway, whenever Google gets around to finding this post we'll be able to prove it for certain. My prediction is that only the first of the two search baits will be in Google's database, but it will link to the full version of the post which includes the second one anyway.

5 I'm now officially confused. Why does it work for Ambient Irony but not for Chizumatic?

6 Anyway, I just downloaded eps 5 and 6 of Macademi Wasshoi so I'm going to go watch at least the first of them.

7 DON'T WATCH EPISODE 5!!!!!!!!!

8 Well, it's only Don who's unhappy with Maca 5 and 6. Aroduc says it's been great.

9 Aroduc is an evil pervert!

Well, I admit, the last few minutes of episode 5 weren't bad.

...

Pixy is an evil pervert!

But one with taste.

Now I'm even more confused. Google has found this post, and it also found both search baits.

So what the heck is wrong with my older posts that it doesn't see the "more" sections of them?

12 I guess there are some things man was not meant to know.
