Ahhh, but what if you're revenue is based on traffic and page impressions. :)
Yeah, I used blogger for http://www.yicrosoft.info/ and http://www.gh-yicrosoft.info/ and not having any problems.
Story: Are META Tags Useful?
It's never a waste of time to follow best practices. It's true that the tags hold little if any weight from an SEO standpoint however the description tag is often what is used as the description when your page appears in the SERPs so it's your opportunity to create the "ad" that you want to appear to the world.
Make sure your keywords are in your description and make sure it reads well to a searchers and you'll increase your clickthroughs.
Good luck !
Agreed.
This is covered in multiple Google patents. It was only a matter of time.
I'll be interested to see how this evolves as personalized search becomes more evolved.

Sure you can Jeff, sure you can. Any time you want. You just don't WANT to. ;)
And now step one begins ... admitting you have a problem. ;)

Good work Manish. You've just completed step one. You've admitted you have a problem.
Story: MSN Launches Green Channel
Hey David, Dave here.
If you'd check your emails you'd have seen the reply. And again ... you have my phone number. If there was a really big problem - you could use it.
Or is it more fun to leave Sphinn comments?
Not meaning to sound too snarky but I find it odd that you feel the need to toute everything through a Sphinn when all you have to do is call, or check your emails. I made my offer in there to recify the issue at hand in a manner I believe it totally fair.
But if you're a site that sells links and you got hit, are you justified in panicing? :)
"If you had a thermometer that never moved, you would assume it was broken and had ceased to function. That little green bar hasn't moved in ages. Ergo ..."
Awesome. :)
Ahhhh good, a debate. Of course I feel the need to respond.
You'll find the response at http://www.beanstalk-inc.com/blog/2007/10/pagerank-isnt-question-but-heres-some.html (easier to format the replies and make sure any of our non-Sphinn blog readers get the benefit of the comments and my replies).
Thanks Halfdeck.
Hey Halfdeck.
Sorry I don't allow comments on the blog. I just don't always have time to moderate it and so I just don't allow them. I have replied there complete with all comments from Jill and yourself. You can read it at http://www.beanstalk-inc.com/blog/2007/10/pagerank-debate-continues-over-at.html.
I'm realizing now that we're probably on different pages here regardless. If we read the post (the first one) you'll note that this is about clients asking about PageRank. This is obviously about toolbar PageRank and I don't really need a lesson on internal PageRank and how it's constantly updated. I note in the first post, "... there have been some hiccups in the PageRank displayed in the tool bar we haven't seen ..." Yes I am aware that the PageRank displayed in the toolbar varies from the actual PageRank. That's why I wrote "the PageRank displayed in the toolbar" and not "some hiccups in PageRank".
Regardless of the disagreement I thank you for the debate. Always good for SEO's to "mix it up a bit". Let the readers sort it out for themselves.
And yes, I am the sort of person who reads and takes the words of experts seriously. Hopefully you do too. I also use my own brain and run my own tests. If there's any debate over skill, we rank well and we offer a top 10 money-back guarantee (for real phrases, not BS ones) and we're still in business years later. Yes, I know what I'm talking about and I have a hunch we're actually talking about different things here.
Halfdeck.
Can you blast me off an email? Would like to chat with you. dave (at) beanstalk-inc.com.
You'll have to clear your email through spamarrest before it will get to me.
Thanks !

Thanks to everyone who's making this a real discussion on the subject. Always enjoyable.
Jill, any references you can send me on the revelations by Dan?
And I do know what you're saying about high competition issues. But then, in those competitions we'll often do a complete overhaul on the site to make it tableless and pull it into compliance in hopes of te 1% boost that might give. :)
DVOLA,
I need to know who you are (can't see your domain in your profile) before I can respond.
Feel free to email or call - http://www.beanstalk-inc.com/bsi/contact.htm.
If there's unfinished work I'll be happy to get it done but in future, if you could let me know directly rather than through a forum that would be great.
Dave
The post was actually from Dave DAVIS (Redfly) not Dave Davies (Beanstalk).
And here I thought there were just to many Dave's in the world - now I have to get concerned about last names too.
