| WTF - Yahoo? Phil Payne 04:58:35 |
| | Furtlingly trivial.
I changed http://www.isham-research.co.uk/fb/index.html for some trivial reasons. Not a commercial site - just a friendly thing I do for a few musicians. Odd little details - nothing of consequence.
I added the word "rock" to the <title>.
Less than ten minutes later - Yahoo has indexed it.
Google - eat your heart out.

| Troubling findings on how some third parties detect click fraud Shuman Ghosemajumder, Business Produ Spamhotmail@Yahoo.Com 01:40:30 |
| | http://adwords.blogspot.com/2006/08/troubling-findings-on-how-some-third.html
Troubling findings on how some third parties detect click fraud Shuman Ghosemajumder, Business Product Manager for Trust & Safety, returns today with important information regarding third party detection of click fraud:
A rigorous technical analysis by Google engineers has found fundamental flaws in the work of several click fraud consultants - flaws that help explain why widely quoted estimates of the size of the click fraud problem are exaggerated. We would like to share this research so that advertisers can be aware of these problems and so these consultants can use the information to improve their services.
We provide detailed analysis and explanation of this work here. Two key findings are below, which explain the fundamental flaw we have seen in all of the reports we examined - fictitious clicks: events which are reported as fraudulent, but are never recorded or charged as ad clicks by Google:
Fictitious ad clicks because of mischaracterizing events. This finding may be the most significant flaw responsible for exaggerated click fraud claims. The problem lies in the fact that many click fraud consultants don't count actual ad clicks. Rather, to determine the number of ad clicks, they use a number of other signals, including counting visits to a particular webpage. As a result, the consultants count page reloads and subsequent visits on an advertiser's site as multiple clicks on the advertiser's Google ad. This generates fictitious ad clicks in the consultant's reports. For example, if a user browses deeper into an advertiser's site, then hits the back button, this causes a potential reload of the original landing page, which a consultant would record as an additional ad click - even though no Google ad click actually occurred.
Fictitious ad clicks due to conflation across advertisers and ad networks. Some consultants "cookie" users and track their activity across their network of client advertisers. One often-used consultant implements the cookie in such a way that clicks on Yahoo ads can be counted as clicks on Google ads, and vice versa.
These kinds of flaws in methodology cause click counts in consultant reports to be artificially inflated. One clear indication that the consultants' results are flawed: they're not even getting the total number of clicks correct. We have seen some instances of reports showing 1.5 times the number of clicks in our logs - for example, in one case 1,278 clicks were claimed as being "fraudulent" by the consultant while only 850 actually even appeared as clicks in Google's logs.
More evidence of the consultants' defective methodology is revealed when looking at conversion rates. We found clicks identified as "fraudulent" in reports often converted at nearly the same rate (and in some cases better) compared to other clicks. In one case, "fraudulent clicks" converted 5.1% of the time - only a bit less than the advertiser's overall conversion rate of 5.8%.
Our report provides detailed case studies for three third-party auditing firms - AdWatcher, ClickFacts, and Click Forensics - which represent the vast majority of the last 100 reports advertisers have submitted to us. All of the reports we've seen from these consultants exhibit the serious problems we have described above. The pervasiveness of these problems concerns us, especially because advertisers may be hurting their businesses by changing their campaign settings based on erroneous information. We will continue to devote attention to this issue to keep our advertisers well-informed, and perhaps help third-party auditing firms improve their methods so that they can provide value to advertisers.
If you would like to know more about the general issue of invalid clicks and how we manage them, we have posted previously here and here. If you would like to learn more about how to track invalid clicks in your account, you can find information about our Invalid Clicks reporting feature here.

| How search for sentence-like relationships between search words? Tom Amoth 23:20:23 |
| | How search for sentence-like relationships between search words?
Search engines generally search for documents in which the key words are scattered throughout (or else the words can be "anchored" to a particular part of the document such as the title). But it would be desirable to be able to find documents in which a group of words are closely connected--as in the same sentence. Ideally, natural-language understanding would be used, but such understanding is difficult/error-prone to program. A compromise would be to require a set of words to be in the same sentence--or at least close together, but I can't find any such feature. A search could be done for each possible anchor location, but that would be cumbersome.
How can I search while requiring a stronger connection between a set of words than merely requiring those words to be in the same document (or all anchored to the same part of the document)?

| PHP generated content seen by spiders? Liam 17:48:45 |
| | I did a search here for php pages, and basically all I've found for sure, is that you pretty much don't want to use pages where ? is in the URL. Nor session ID's and cookies.
What I'm wondering, is what about pages that have mostly all static content, except a little here or there that's PHP generated? Either from an include pulling from another file, or pulling some text from a database?
For example: In order to improve search ranking, having a section on my site that has a new customer quote, and a different item from the catalog featured each day would probably help. But I'd use PHP to randomly select the quote and item from a database and echo it to the page.
Would this cause a problem with spiders being able to see this new content?
Thanks for any feedback. -Liam

| Google Shitemaps Big Bill 15:28:26 |
| | I now have two sites with sitemaps that are accepted and register ok for whom I can get no crawl stats or diagnostics on the basis that the sites are not yet verified. Both of these are sites that have long been verified and I've been receiving sitemaps info from for months, some of which I continue to receive. Both are sites I continue to receive Google Analytics info from. This is what happens when you get too many smart people in one place, ask them to do rocket science and they're boffo at it, ask them to boil an egg between them and you'll starve.

| AOL giving personal search data to third parties Mabon Dane 22:44:18 |
| | If you are a customer of AOL perhaps it is now time to quit AOL for another internet provider.
Why I say this? AOL has long been criticised for its poor customer service and tactics. Now there is a new reason to get rid of AOL, and fast. AOL has been keeping information on all the search engine requests by customers, no problem there, however AOL has also been giving this information to third parties who could identify AOL customers. AOL has admitted a breach of the privacy of their customers.
Report here: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/08/business/media/08aol.html?hp&ex=115...
So I advise dump AOL fast.

| What's your AOL rank? John Bokma 22:43:22 |
| | AOL rank: max number of times a domain that belongs to you pops up in the "leaked" dataset.
Mine is 17, and my average number of daily visitors is 10,000
would be cool if there is a(ny) kind of correlation.
Any takers?

| similiar sites - differently indexed by google? Danny 18:01:45 |
| | LetВґs take a company and its several international subsidiaries. Each of these has its own website of identical structure and number of pages. For all the pages are fully translated, duplicate content should be no problem. Each site has also got its own domain/URL.
The first site that was launched was indexed by google almost completely (over 12,000 pages known by google). All the other sites are not well indexed. Only a few hundred pages are shown by google.
Maybe you want to take a look: www-buerkert-de -> well indexed
As an example: www-buerkert-fr -> poor indexed
Group Site: www-buerkert-com (where you can reach alll sites)
IВґm very excited to hear your your ideas

| Get listed in MSN Roxxy 17:35:49 |
| | MSN is one of the most popular and growing Search Engine. It may bring a large number of visitors to your site. Million of visitors use MSN to get to get their desired result. It is not hard to get listed in MSN. You have to submit your URL such as http://nfo.atspace.com to MSN add URL page. It generally takes 4 weeks to get listed in MSN. At first MSN will crawl few pages of your site then will cover all of your pages gradually. To get listed more quickly and cover all pages you should follow some SEO technique.

| Duplicate content in non framed pages Marcus 17:25:14 |
| | I have read that frames makes life harder for search engines. Therefor I have built my website without frames. To the visitor it looks like they have a frame though. I have an area on the left containing links to external pages. But since I avoided frames I have copied this area with the links to every page on my site.
This is where I believe I could have a problem with SEO. I guess search engines like Google consider this to be duplicate content, and since some of my pages contains very little text, the duplicate content rate is sky high.
Does anyone have a recomendation what I should do about this to NOT have my PR penalized?

What this means is that everyone will be trying to re-verify at the same time so the system will grind to a halt again. Gawd - if you had a choice, you wouldn't bother with Google, would you?
