“variance adjustment” – 2nd hit CA
“evolving multivariate regression” – 4th hit CA
“robustly estimated median” – 4th hit CA

mcintyre jones mann site:climateaudit.org
Using that method, site:climate would preclude CA. The site
name needs to be spelled in full (excluding www.).

scratch. A search for mcintyre jones mann on CA gets 498
hits, but if I do not limit the search to CA, the CA hits
are mostly way down the list.

It appears that Google has rediscoverd climateaudit.org.

I signed on to Google (thanks Lubos for the directions) and it says that our robots.txt is fine. Google has a log of attempts to crawl pages (about 200 different pages were tried every day) and the log reports many read attempts for different pages between March 1 and March 14. On March 15 and after, there has not been single attempt to crawl a single climateaudit page, even though our robots.txt is now fine. Does anyone have any bright ideas?

Because you are in Canada? Google returns different results depending on the geographical location of the requester. Because you are in Canada, Google might have determined that they can either return a response in either French or English and it is probably more politically correct to inconvenience an english speaker than to “offend” a french speaking Canadian. If in doubt, send them french.

Presumably Google’s cache has a record of some link to climateaudit with that title. It takes a while for the database to catch up with the crawled links. Funny things have been happening to my girlfriend’s web site too. *Sigh* I still think this was a combination of both the robots being disabled and some wholesale update in Google’s database.
