  With 22 million pages in the database, I think they'll not bother to
  adjust the weightings of a single, rather insignificant (on the global
  scale, that is), page. The only way I can think of is to reduce the
  page title to a single word - Lojban - and wait for their robot to scan
  our server and/or submit the modified page.

  The main trouble at the moment is the lack of disk space at altavista:
  the page count has hovered at 22M for the past several weeks, and new
  pages are quite unlikely to appear in the listings although the robots
  seem to be roaming around gathering data. I'll modify the title, however,
  and try submitting the change.
