      # the results returned are for the site we want.
      #
      # For example, slocourts.net returns results for ca.gov, presumably because www.slocourts.ca.gov redirects
      # to slocourts.net. Clearly something is wrong with how Alexa handles this case and so in the event this
      # happens we treat the results as if there were no results.
