Now I had forgotten all about this Mount Everest page  since 1998 and have not even submitted to Google, I guess amazing things do happen. I believe the page is also listed in Yahoo!.

Am employed professionally at Oznet You can see the sort of work we do in respect to Search Engines by going to Search Engine Optimisation.
