Outgoogled :(
It seems that Google has gone through another reshuffling of its search algorithm, and the latest victim is my humble homepage. For months now www.tunguz.com has been at the top or close to it whenever you searched Google for either Tunguz or Bojan Tunguz. Recently I noticed a drop in traffic to my homepage, and when I googled the above two terms, my website was ranked pretty low, almost non-existent.
This all seems pretty fickle to me. Maybe I did not have all that many links to the homepage in the lower-level directories, but I did not use any shady tactic to promote my website somewhere else either. I am not running some kind of commercial enterprise, and the only people who would want to come to my website are those who are interested in me personally. In the same vain, the best place to find more information about me is from my homepage.
The good thing in all of this is that my UIUC homepage still comes at top of all these searches.

Your web page is nice. I always like to visit your web page and your blogs are very nice. Yeah! I googled your name and it's showing your homepage address after your amazon profile. But this was not the case a year ago. In that time your UIUC page was the first page in Google HITS.
With Best wishes
