I would second this (though "manipulating" sounds bad) and the comment that sage.math sounds dot-com-ish, but I would also argue that people who are looking for SAGE by that name know enough to search for "sage mathematics" or something like that if the one they know of doesn't come up right away (none of the other links would fool people). What would be really nice is if typing "number theory software" or "computer calculus" or phrases of that nature brought up SAGE high on the links.
