There's a Q/A section at the bottom of http://www.tiobe.com/index.htm?tiobe_index which covers this: Q: What happened to Java in April 2004? Did you change your methodology? A: No, we did not change our methodology at that time. Google changed its methodology. They performed a general sweep action to get rid of all kinds of web sites that had been pushed up. As a consequence, there was a huge drop for languages such as Java and C++. In order to minimize such fluctuations in the future, we added two more search engines (MSN and Yahoo) a few months after this incident. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
