That's a big improvement, thanks!

Making incoming links popular is up to us :-) Since the fix to the page
title tag, we now get excellent Google ranking for our manuals.

> Millions of webmasters are trying to figure out how Google actually works.  

They aren't likely to reveal that, but we can use their webmaster tools
to remove pages which shouldn't have been indexed.

Cheers!

Daniel
