Github SEO effect

This is a blog post to experiment the hypothesis:

Google would give github repo pretty high ranking.
If a repo's README has a link to a page outside github, that page gets SEO bonus.edit: 20130308 If a repo's homepage has set to a web page, that page would get SEO bonus from Google (I didn't carry out experiment on the effect of the README yet). And, if the page links back to the github repo, that's a plus.

Search google with the query "Github SEO effect" :)
