Google convinced less, still promises little.Google is still claiming that Autolink is all about “user convenience”—what a load of crap. The ‘net as it exists today would never have happened if people couldn’t sell products online. If the search engines swipe all of the product links and send them to Amazon etc., pretty soon it will be just Google and Amazon—and the rest of it will look like NSFNet, circa 1991. All of the rest of us won’t be there to steal from anymore. The fact is, we let Google scrape our content to sell context sensitive ads against on the search results, and they pay us back with traffic. Fair ‘nuff—if I didn’t like their traffic, I could shut them out with robots.txt. I...
Google Blog Search - Blah.There was a quiver in the blogosphere this morning, and all of a sudden I'm seeing a bunch of articles on Google Blog Search. I just can't figure out why. Maybe I just don't get it, but I'm having difficulty figuring out the actual utility of this thing. I did a couple of dozen searches on topics that I've been looking into lately, and for most of them, the majority of results on the first 3 - 4 pages fell into one of two categories: Scraper/Spam Blogs -- the pests out there that scrape search engine results, other people's RSS feeds, etc. and remix them into strongly keyworded word salad to suck up search engine traffic and send it to...
Google Reader Wish ListSpeaking of Google Reader, 901 AM (or I guess that's 90.1 AM) has a nice list of Needed Features and Fixes for Google Reader. Most of these are pretty good (although I wonder how small your list of feeds is if you really need a "new story available" pop-up), but the one that really intrigued me was: Solve Overflow Memory Leak Problems: The ability to auto-refresh or just manually refresh your RSS feeds in Google Reader is a great feature, but the downside is you will find all those feeds build up in your session, and if your running Firefox, this can cause some serious memory leaks, if you use it frequently. If I could find a place to turn...
Google, “nofollow” and Comment SpamThe 'net is all a-buzz with word of a new initiative by the Google, MSN and Yahoo search teams to “eliminate” comment spam from blogs. What does this mean to you? As discussed in our links tutorial, links to your site, particularly from other relevant sites, have a strong influence on where your site is positioned in search results. Lots of links, lots of relevance, the closer to that first result you will be. This is why getting inbound links from relevant sites is so important in your site's marketing and traffic strategies. Of course, this means that it's important in spammer strategies too -- spammers don't just come in e-mail varieties. Some of them put up websites, and attempt...
