And will that trend continue to increase?
Digg-feature driven serps personalized
further (ie based on your click-stream data
and purchase history :)
could reinforce any and every BS one believes.
Looks like Google just had to answer to this article
at SEL http://searchengineland.com/080714-123820.php
Shoemoney's tool shows wrong data
for my searches. Try for example Google
and Yahoo results for a word
'americash' and www.americash.com domain
@annie7: for the 'americash' example I mentioned
the tool shows 12th position in Google (which is wrong,
the domain on the SERP is myamericash.com),
it also shows 'not found in Yahoo!' while regular
search shows the domain in question on position 6
too sleepy to find more right now :)
@annie7: hi Ann, to disclose: neither americash.com
or myamericash.com are my sites :)
and again, the query for the tool
is 'americash' and 'americash.com' is the
domain to check for, the results are bad
(the tool mixes both domains with Google,
and doesn't see it in Yahoo!)
@DavidLaFerney, from one of the patent documents
"Re-ranking component 122 begins by identifying the documents in the initial set that have a hyperlink to
document x. (Act 301). The set of documents that have such hyperlinks are denoted as B(y). Documents from the
same host as document x tend to be similar to document x but often do not provide significant new information to
the user. Accordingly, re-ranking component 124 removes documents from B(y) that have the same host as
document x. (Act 302). More specifically, let IP3(x) denote the first three octets of the IP (Internet Protocol)
address of document x (i.e., the IP subnet). If IP3(x)=IP3(y), document y is removed from B(y).
On occasion, multiple different hosts may be similar enough to one another to be considered the same host for
purposes of Acts 301 and 302. For example, one host may be a "mirror" site for a different primary host and thus
contain the same documents as the primary host. Additionally, a host site may be affiliated with another site, and
thus contain the same or nearly the same documents. Similar or affiliated hosts may be determined through a
manual search or by an automated web search that compares the contents at different hosts. Documents from
such similar or affiliated hosts may be removed by re-ranking component 124 from B(y) in Act 302. Re-ranking
component 124 next compares all pairs of documents in B(y) for any pair in which IP3(first document of the pair)
=IP3(second document of the pair), and removes the document of the pair from B(y) that has the lower OldScore
value. (Acts 303-306). In other words, if there are multiple documents in B(y) for the same (or similar or
affiliated) host IP address, only the document most relevant to the user's search query, as determined by the
document's OldScore, is kept in B(y). Documents are removed from B(y) in this manner to prevent any single
author of web content from having too much of an impact on the ranking value. "
Quite interesting. Although, I really like hearing the third question:
I always say 25%, last time - after two monts of 'no calls' from the guy -
he's finally called and offered 30% :) This is much better than being
an affiliate (providing they listen to your suggestions). Anyway,
I believe with a lot of smart clients your 'initial educational effort'
prevents these questions. @onreact: great mustache Dratewka :)
Happening on one of my sites too :) Doesn't seem like the right
thing for Google to incorporate in the toolbar features set.
I've got it fixed, in IE too :)
Thanks Rae for timely reminder,
thanks Graywolf for pointing in the right direction.
