It's easy to imagine sources of noise for these data, including
such English-language commonplaces as "go forth" you already 
mentioned.  A next step might be to try to refine the queries
to eliminate classes of noise.  The one that most catches my at-
tention is PHP; I've got to think that a lot of those are pages
that use PHP, rather than discuss it.
