Um, *no* site should be at the top of every search list. No matter how good
and important your site is, I don't want to see it when I'm searching for info
on Classical Origami. ;>

Now, if you want your list to appear with reasonable prominence on searches
that want your type of site, just add a description of what your site is on
the site's main page. If you describe it in sufficiently specific terms,
indexers will respond to queries that match your sites description -- which is
the normal theory behind indexers.

There is a new, unfortunate tendency of sites to put lots of graphics on the
home page, and explain themselves in a secondary page. This is *not* good for
indexers.
