If someone wrote something like "Babies: A Rational Analysis", our site's current structuring would help it be unreasonably popular in Google. This would be analogous to Less Wrong "doing what it's best at".

CarlShulman's articles about voting are overly-popular for the same reason... probably by accident.

Does "Babies and Bunnies: A Caution About Evo-Psych" show this effect?

Can people please not write articles simply to improve Google ranking? That's dark sidish and also easily leads to a decline in content quality.

I suggest you make a post of suggested topics that spring to mind. You don't have to write all the posts, but then someone inspired by the title can.
