It's been so long now that I can't remember how I found PerlMonks, but I have a feeling it was through Google. Still, I agree that it would be nice to see more of PM showing up on Google. I don't know if that's our responsibility or theirs. Should we be taking time away from improvement of this site to make it easier for new people to find us? Are people even having that much trouble finding us? How many Monks are there nowadays, anyhow?

...SuperSearch is a great tool and I use it regularly...

You are a better geek than I am :-) I never have managed to get the hang of SuperSearch, so I end up flailing around almost randomly trying to find information, or just digging down through categorized Q & A. I welcome improvements of any kind to SuperSearch!
