I have always figured that there is something weird at Google. But this one really takes the cake!

My username is bathrobe. I use this monicker at a number of places -- bulletin boards, Wikipedia, etc.

I now find that my site, Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese languages (www.cjvlang.com), which does not mention 'bathrobe' at any place on the site, now comes up on the first page of results on a Google search for 'bathrobe'!

People may remember problems I've mentioned with Google before:

* The fact that page content in Chinese or Japanese is not even being indexed by Google, even though the site is filled with words in these languages. (It is particularly galling to be ignored on Chinese bird species names, because my site is virtually "authoritative" in this area, and yet other non-Chinese sites which list bird species in Chinese characters get listed in Google results!)

* My subsite on Hainan -- which some visitors told me was the best site about Hainan they had found on the Internet -- was stuck with poor rankings in results for over two years, way behind lots of inferior or useless sites. I shifted it to its own site (www.hainan-world.com) almost 7 months ago, and the redirect page at the old location, which at long last made it to the second page of results, still scores higher than the new site!

I accepted these 'injustices' as something that couldn't be helped, but things are getting patently ridiculous when people looking for bathrobes find a site about Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese!

There is something seriously wrong with Google's algorithm. There is so much junk, outdated stuff, etc. in their results, and they just can't seem to flush it out.
