I am starting to think that many DO READ MY POSTS. (Wasn't so sure before). I put "Manichean reincarnation" into google (55,000 page hits) and my Jesus reincarnation thread was at page 7.
Google's spiders are certainly reading your posts. They read everything and anything on the internet. Whether humans are reading is moot. But I can tell you that very, very few people would get to page 7 of a specific google search like that.
A better measure of whether your posts here are being read would be whether people reply to them. Mostly it seems to me that they don't.

That was Manicheans and reincarnation keywords.
Yup
But.
Put "Did Jesus teach reincarnation" into google and my thread is at number 28 out of 400,000
Number 8 of page 3
Yup and still no-one will have seen it, let alone read it.
It's just the way google works and people read. If you're not on the first page, it's highly unlikely to be read simply because the searcher will have found what he's looking for there.
It's also a 'long tail' search - a string of specific words unlikely to be entered by a human. Most searchers would use simpler terms to start, probably just Jesus and reincarnation only getting more complicated if the first doesn't succeed.
I noticed a good while back that Elkesaites reincarnation or Elkesai reincarnation was on page 1
The more obscure the topic and the more complex the search term the more likely it is to figure high in a google result. That shouldn't be surprising. It doesn't mean anyone is reading it. Google's spiders will pick anything written on any website that's been around a little while and that changes daily within a few minutes of it being written.
I suspect that people interested in Early Christian origins would be more interested than you (and the posters here) in reading my posts (for the book quotes?), but I admit that I am not 100% sure.
But you're on a discussion board here; the point is to debate things here, not to get ranking on google. Also if people find your posts on google why aren't they coming here to comment on them?
A more rational answer is likely to be what we're saying isn't it? Reams of cut and post of obscure stuff isn't getting read here either. If you focused a bit more on the discussion it might help.
