archive01 Not ideal: Annie Proulx’s short story
“Brokeback
Mountain” apparently used to be at this URL, but it’s
(effectively) a 404 now. The problem is that if you do a Google
search for site:newyorker.com brokeback mountain it
returns this page, because a whole lot of pages use “brokeback
mountain” as the link text. (The Google cache page says: These
terms only appear in links pointing to this page: brokeback
mountain.)
(newyorker.com also isn’t returning a “real” 404 error—it’s returning a page that says the page can’t be found, but the usually-invisible response code indicates that the page loaded okay—which I suspect is compounding the problem by preventing Google from removing the page from its cache.) 10:46
