Perlmonks.org doesn't make the first page, but is number 13. Google's ranking is largely affected by how many other pages point at this site, so add links where you can. We certainly deserve to be ranked higher on this particular search than xml dot com. Do any of you web types have suggestions about improving the behind-the-scenes content of the front page to help?

(might we put 'Perlmonks' in the page title?)
