Am I really this popular?

I've noticed a lot of my links come from searches (primarily google).  Is that because I'm actually answering a lot of releavant information that people want to know?  Is it possibly because I happen to use all the magic keywords so that google pushes me to the top of its list?

  Thereing lies the magic of google...though Blogs rate highly anyway due to trackbacks etc (oh, and the weblogs.asp.net having a pagerank of 7 - and since your posts appear there with seeming links back to your post, I don't guess it hurts!). I have the same...make you feel kind of responsible doesn't it!

  Or even better quote from Google risks section:
  
  
  "
  We are susceptible to index spammers who could harm the integrity of our web search results.
  
  There is an ongoing and increasing effort by “index spammers” to develop ways to manipulate our web search results. For example, because our web search technology ranks a web page’s relevance based in part on the importance of the web sites that link to it, people have attempted to link a group of web sites together to manipulate web search results. We take this problem very seriously because providing relevant information to users is critical to our success. If our efforts to combat these and other types of index spamming are unsuccessful, our reputation for delivering relevant information could be diminished. This could result in a decline in user traffic, which would damage our business. "

  I was just doing a search for some .Net stuff and it was fun to see someone on the inside talking about the stuff I wanted to know.
