Ever enter a search term into google and then wonder how/why a certain result is ranked first?
Enter the term mensch into google. Relatively simple, and those that know just a bit of yiddish know what it means (I was trying to explain it to someone and thought I would get some kind of an authoritative definition). Anywhooo - the first result is for wikipedia - and there is NO content behind it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mensch Why, if wikipedia has no definition or article for mesch, do they get top billing by google as the best, most authoritative definition and article on mesch? Bottom line - sometimes google sucks, and sometimes seo optimization + google means crap results. I thought the google algorythn placed a heavy weight on how many places link to a site as part of the ranking - not even a dipsh*t marketing dweeb would think of linking mesch to the wikipedia article - yet it gets first ranking. What is up with that? This is why I consistenty say that google is crap. -- ~ will "Where you innovate, how you innovate, and what you innovate are design problems" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Will Evans | User Experience Architect tel: +1.617.281.128 | [EMAIL PROTECTED] aim: semanticwill | gtalk: wkevans4 twitter: semanticwill | skype: semanticwill --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
