Hi Ron, I left a comment on your blog explaining the answer to your question, but maybe it didn't go through.
A while ago it was decided to remove "trending bots/accounts" from search results because they really did clutter the results. One of my bots/accounts was removed as well, and you're correct, the traffic does drop off tremendously because of it. After the first "silencing of the bots" another group of trend bots popped up and have since been silenced as well. I guess thumbfight was a victim of the last go 'round. There was a lengthy thread about this topic earlier in this group here: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread/thread/459e5151ddaaa2b Hope that answers your question! -Chad On Sun, Jun 14, 2009 at 12:54 PM, Ron Evans<[email protected]> wrote: > > I have noticed that tweets from my twitter account @thumbfight > suddenly stopped appearing in the Twitter search results starting on > Thursday.
