Must be towards the end of your day in Italy, Ivan. (It's WAY past
the end of mine here in California!) I was saying they should, if they
wanted to be fair. But they don't.

Weeelll... Ivan, it does matter. To quote the next rev of some
statistical reports on search engine usage that I am working on in the
webcons area of my site:
...
If you are writing [keyword] related web pages, consider using META
keywords with more market share -- less existing page competition, yet
fair usage in queries related to your main topic. Why compete in keyword
neighborhoods where page demographics give you poor market share? Go where
[keyword] competition is less fierce, and each query is more likely to get
you hits. <P>
Targeting, "narrow-casting", is important. Remember, in one way or
another, there is a cost associated with every web page served. Each page
served puts you closer to fee based hit limits, and slows response time on
your server. But these are very minor costs compared to the labor cost
for reading every e-mailed enquiry your web pages generate, and responding
to the more promising leads. So aim to attract and retain Genuinely
Interested Participants, not entertain "channel surfers" and "tire
kickers" with nothing better to do than take up your time and money.
Quality, not quantity, brings true customers.
....
As anyone who has dealt with the "bingo card" responses from magazine
advertising, people like to ask, but they don't like to spend their own
money to buy something. And for that, the World Wide Wait is both an
interesting filtering element, and relative hit counts and user
trajectories are an excellent way of measuring user responses.
