go to google, type in "link:www.garagegames.com" and hit the google search button to find out.(without the quotes)

The "link:" allows you to search for pages that link to whatever URL is after the colon.

I know the results surprised me...

Well this is one of my benchmarks for knowing where we are in link popularity - I've been tracking the changes in the last few months:

GarageGames Gamasutra GDSE Flipcode GameDev
Aug 12th 634 / 4210 / 660 / 2400 / 3810
Sept 2nd 640 / 4310 / 688 / 2480 / 3930
Oct 11th 742 / 4440 / 746 / 2570 / 4010

I can't say I am a guru on improving link popularity, but one thing I know is that the community can change this number (yes some additional news articles don't hurt), but linking to www.garagegames.com on your game websites and if you're posting on other sites and in relivant forums will effect how we come up in google.

Anyone besides me want to see GG get highest link popularity?

FYI - GameSpy - 18,800 / IGN 22,000 / GameSpot 58,000
