Checking the referral stats for the J Spotter

(my blog on “personal insights”), I was surprised to see a lot of hits

coming from queries on “Rene Jarque.”  I stopped wondering when I

got an email from Billy Esposo via the COPA-NET egroup that former

Captain Jarque has passed away.


I guess the reason Google (and perhaps other search engines, too) pegs

my blogspot site as #1 on queries for Capt. Jarque’s name is because I posted articles referring to his “Reforming the Armed Forces” papers published a couple of years back.



The two papers were very popular in the aftermath of the failed Oakwood mutiny,

where a handful of junior military officers claimed having been witness

to various malpractices and mismanagement in the armed forces,

including initiating several bombings in Mindanao.



I guess this is just another way to demonstrate how search engines love blogs.  A quick check with the Google toolbar I installed on my Firefox browser says the J Spot (this site) has a pagerank of 7/10, while the J Spotter a 5/10.  Wow.



My post on Capt. Jarque is here.


Starstruck? Let's go star tripping.
