Prehaps you should read the definition:

http://www.tiobe.com/tiobe_index/tpci_definition.htm

Aa far as I understand it they just count hits. If you got to google and
execute:

http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=de&newwindow=1&q=%2B%22Ada+programming%22&btnG=Suche&lr=lang_de%7Clang_en

you get 220.000 pages. Note the use of +"Ada programming" - without the
+  and the " it would be a lot more. I think adding:

<META NAME="KEYWORDS" CONTENT="Ada programming">

to every Ada related page would do the trick.
