<description><![CDATA[Have you ever found yourself trying to implement Google Analytics on a site with dynamic content like a shopping cart where every dynamic page has an identical URL?  I mean, identical like literally just /somescript.php with no GET variables like ?danny=cool for EVERY STEP of the checkout funnel?I found Google's help page for this issue to be a bit lacking for novice coders who, I think, are most likely to encounter such dumbass problems resulting from the uninformed selection or custom development of amateurish, search-hostile web software.With that in mind, I wrote this how-to including an actual full example of a modified code snippet rather than Google's mere inferences to the necessary modifications.  Hopefully the novice coders among us will be able to overcome this sadly common issue without pulling out the rest of their few remaining hairs!<br/><br/>3 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Getting the message loud and clear, we appropriately dissect Amit Singhal's already-famous Google Blog post entitled &quot;Introduction to Google Ranking&quot; to find the juicy chunks of marinated insight into the Zen-like philosophy behind the Algorithm (or something).  Plus a double-barrel dose of Keepin It Real for everybody out there who continues to deny the obvious, and some helpful links for further study into the Satori state of Pure Search Enlightenment which can only be achieved through careful meditation of starkly beautiful IA algorithms and little line-art topo maps with clouds in them.<br/><br/>3 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Google Co-Founder and head ubergeek Sergey Brin just dropped $5 million dollars on a seat in a Russian Soyuz rocket to get up to the International Space Station for an orbital holiday away from all you sycophants and sociopaths for a few days where he can relax in peace with a bunch of other elite nerds already perched upon the highest horse ever developed for geeks, by geeks... the ISS!To be overheard on NASA TV upon his return to Earth:&quot;Bye Sergey... have a nice trip home...&quot;[hatch closes]&quot;Wait, what's that on your browser window?  Is that the Google Toolbar?    Did you install that?  Naw, I wouldn't either...  Wait a minute... SERGEEEY!&quot;[return vessel disembarks with a loud kerchunk]&quot;SEERRRRRRGEEEYYYYY!&quot;[waves to ISS thru portal window][On Edit: check out the pic of Brin and Co floating around in the Vomit Comet: http://www.slipperybrick.com/2008/06/sergey-brin-space-flight/ ]<br/><br/>3 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[What do you do when you have a cluster of web servers and can't keep your sitemap up-to-date on every node?  Can you  301 redirect sitemap requests to a master file on one subdomain, or perhaps a completely different domain as with an Amazon S3 distributed filesystem?Read on for the answer to this question, plus a dirty, dirty black hat maneuver you should absolutely never try.  Ever.  (Because it works.)<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>
