Google Rankings and this site

Heh, funny thing happened today. It's been about 2 months since I last downloaded and processed my website access logs. So I downloaded and processed them today. I found there wasn't that much activity on the site. However the activity that was there probably 90% is coming from google searches.

I figured that was a bit odd as no way my site would be important enough to even shop up in the first 1000 results, or so my belief was. Low and behold to me this site is actually showing up in the first page or two of a few selected search terms.

I've heard the complaints about google and blogs but I never figured my little old site would deal with the issue.

So without further ado here are the 5 most common search phrases and the page the site shows up as:
1) "disable windows messenger" - page 1
2) "out of order showtime" - page 2
3) "necromancer guide" - page 1
4) "outlook express takes a long time to load" - page 2
5) "animal crossing universal codes" - page 3

It's sort of a love / hate relationship. On one hand I'm happy because it's getting me good traffic. On the otherhand I feel guilty because there are better sites for some of these topics that should be higher up on the list than me.

Bah! What do I care! I'm getting real visitors for a change. I love you google.
