When I put the word "rationality" into Google, the first hit is Wikipedia, the second is "Twelve Virtues of Rationality" and the third is LessWrong. How much of LW's low traffic on the word can be attributed to people just not searching on the word much?

Are you signed into google or not? When you're signed in, it tailors the results to your search history.

D'oh! Well spotted - not logged in, LessWrong is not on the front page.

On the plus side, Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality is the fourth response to Rationality, even signed out.
