Thanks, Barb. That's a great tip. I checked _www.twainquotes.com_ (http://www.twainquotes.com) before I posted my query and came up empty-handed, which is part of the reason I was skeptical.

These alerts are emailed to you with links to the stories containing his name each time a search engine picks up a story. I have subscribed to these alerts for a number of years. And they come in daily, sometimes hourly, often 4 or 5 times a day when the search engines pick up a new story regarding "Mark Twain." These stories range from the hits originating with names of streets, buildings, schools, civic organizations, teams, new books, quotes (authentic and attributed) used as introductory paragraphs in news stories, book reviews, entertainments, and the list goes on. The hits multiply as newspapers and publications across the country copy each other's stories. I don't know if the search engines are just getting better at finding these stories or if Twain is getting more popular, but this traffic in his name seems to have doubled in the last few years. Barb
