It’s not quite fair
Of all the things my blog is number 1 for in search engines (and there’s a shocking number of such things), I suppose I’m most proud of “lurgid”. However, that’s not really fair, so I’m going to redirect all you future lurgid searchers to something more appropriate: Douglas Adams’ official site. Go buy all the stuff, even if Douglas isn’t with us any more…

I admit that I am pretty out of touch with things at times, so please tell me… How do I go about finding out what my blog is #1 fo in search engines?

There are two methods I can think of off the top of my head. First is to generate all possible searches and check the first entry for each. This may take a while and draw suspicion from from the search engines and authorities.
The method I used is to look at my logs, see search queries in the referrrer fields, then try the searches that those people tried and see where I am. Quite enlightening; ya never know how people might find you.
I don’t think most of the blog hosts give you log access, so that method is right out with blog hosting. There are hacks to do it via some other mechanism, I’m sure, but I’m not going to recommend those.
