I checked, and thankfully a search for the phrase deadbeat ex-housemate, both within and without quotes, still returns my deadbeat ex-housemate’s weblog as the number one result. Honor, if not my bank account, remains satisfied.

For more details on the changes that Google made, see my article on Global Nerdy.
