Because all of my gay or queer titles have been de-ranked at Amazon, they no longer show up on a search of my name the way they used to. Now, mentions of me in other people's still-ranked books show up before my own de-ranked gay titles.
BEST GAY POETRY 2008 was de-ranked in print, but Amazon's own kindle edition is still ranked.
After finding 13 of my own titles have been stripped of Amazon rankings, I gave up checking (mostly because I had to filter through so much "noise" of any anthology I've ever appeared in--over 200--or anyone who's ever cited me in a book... even if I'm just mentioned in someone's bio note as co-editor.)
