Referring to Referencite

    In writing my piece on referencing, I just Googled 'apa referencing' and here are the first page of search results.

    Google search results

    Google search results

    I was surprised by the results. First, I used Google.co.nz instead of Google.com (I normally use the later), and secondly the University of Auckland's referencing resource Referen©ite did not feature at all on the first page.

    I see:

    • www.waikato.ac.nz
    • www.aut.ac.nz
    • www.fmhs.auckland.ac.nz
    • library.ucol.ac.nz
    • library.curtin.edu.au
    • library.canterbury.ac.nz
    • library.manukau.ac.nz
    • www.southernoceansoftware.com
    • owl.english.purdue.edu
    • aut.ac.nz.libguides.com (again)

    But there is no sign of Referen©cite. I wonder why Google does not refer to Referen©ite on the first page (that's a rhetorical question; I know how search engines rank sites).
