Today I received an email from a client thanking me for following up on a problem that has arisen after their site was upgraded to Drupal 4.7.

In part the email read:

That's great that you can sort out the paypal problem. There is always an unexpected challenge with change.

This made me reflect. (Not that I don't have more urgent things to do than sit around reflecting.)

Some time ago I read a comment that "Google loves Drupal". It was conveying the fact that Drupal sites seem to get good prominence in Google.

I am proud of how my sites come up in Google. This site has a Drupal page rank of 4/10. At time of writing it comes up on google.com.au in top position for a search on the keyword "Drupal". That has been the case consistently since a week or two after the site went live. Now it is also creeping slowly but surely up the international google.com listings.

A few weeks back I had to go through 5 or 6 pages of the international listings before I found drupal.com.au. Today it is coming up at 6th position on the 2nd page, or 15th overall.
