This page is now the 8th result for a google search for 'existential risk' and the 4th result for 'singularity existential risk'

Regardless of the effect SIAI may have had on the public image of existential risk reduction, it seems this is unlikely to be helpful.

Edit: it is now 7th and first, respectively. This is plusungood.

This is partially because Google gives a ranking boost to things it sees as recent, so it may not stay that well ranked.
