Anyone want to give odds on whether/when content from LW will start showing up as more authoritative than wikipedia when searching for standard terms like "cognitive bias"?

How does one site show up as more authoritative than another? Isn't it simply a matter of how much trust the broader community puts into the source?

I did discover recently, to some amusement, that Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality is the second top result for a google search on "rationality," and Eliezer's own site is the eighth.
