Globalwarming Awareness2007 : Spelling Correction and Time-To-Index
While there is a lot of antipathy towards search engine optimization competitions such as the latest world seo championships with the globalwarming awareness2007 keywords, one of the few things they really offer in the way of quality information is the different patterns of indexing by the search engines and the related services each search engine provides. For example, each of the major 3 (Google, Yahoo, and MSN) offer some level of keyword spelling correction. In the case of this particular competition, you can see that MSN actually offers the best keyword correction, Yahoo the second best and Google the worst. Google is unable to determine the obvious joining of 4 words into two. While Google often has accurate mispelling suggestions, it appears the search...
If DuggMirror is Breaking the Law, So Is Google…
The recent front page story regarding the legality of DuggMirror shows a general lack of knowledge regarding internet laws and their current conception. At issue here is whether DuggMirror is violating fair use laws because it provides advertisements on pages that are duplicating the content of the actual owners. In the real world, we would all say that this is definitely copyright infringement. Hold on, not so fast. The DMCA has offered exclusions which, while originally intended to target caching by internet service providers, have protected the ability for sites to cache other sites without asking for expressed permission (Section 512B). Google’s caching service has qualified for this safe harbor before, and it likely that duggMirror would accept the...

Bah Humbug
It is rare for me to speak ill of anyone or any organization, especially around the holiday season, but I just have a few bah humbugs today. (1) RegisterFly. I. Will. Never. Use. Registerfly. Again. After now going on 20+ days, they have yet to register the previous 10 domains I purchased. Bah Humbug. (2) To CommissionJunction for not releasing funds on time around the holiday season. Because they were off by two days, it may be a week or more before I get paid. Bah Humbug.
Misreading of #3 and Proposed Experiment
Thank you to the numerous individuals who pointed out my misreading of #3 in Rand’s list of SEO questions unanswered. The real question he was proposing, which I misread, was whether or not link removal could actually injure a site beyond where it would have been if the link had never been posted. While my initial reaction is no, I think a simple experiment is in order. Proposed Experiment 1. Two pages (“Receiving Site A” and “Receiving Site B”) developed using the same 250 nonsensical 7 letter words with no title or meta on a new domain. (“Receiving Site B” will receive the treatment of losing a link) 2. “Linking Page A” will be chosen, with a link to both sites using a 8 letter nonsensical word. 3....
