pilotdave 0 #429 December 2, 2004 Google can't tell how many hits a website gets unless they come from within google. But some good news... a google search for "skyride" brings up Jan Meyer's skyride scam page before the real 1800skyride site. http://www.google.com/search?q=skyride&hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&start=10&sa=N A search for 800skyride brings up a dz.com thread about skyride first, and a search for 1800skyride brings up Jan Meyers page right after the real 1800skyride site.
