From: Peter K (Fionn) I expect most catters can make their own way to Google easily enough, but just to make it easy, here's that link again, minus error - GOOGLE. How did Mr Cox get his joke elevated to that "I'm feeling lucky" slot? Companies would pay thousands for that. Could it be that there is someone sympathetically disposed within Google? |

04 Jul 03 - 09:36 AM (#976615) Subject: RE: BS: Now this IS FUNNY. From: GUEST No Fionn. From Google "help". It's not difficult to imagine how such a page should get ranked so highly. PageRank Explained PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page's value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily and help to make other pages "important." Important, high-quality sites receive a higher PageRank, which Google remembers each time it conducts a search. Of course, important pages mean nothing to you if they don't match your query. So, Google combines PageRank with sophisticated text-matching techniques to find pages that are both important and relevant to your search. Google goes far beyond the number of times a term appears on a page and examines all aspects of the page's content (and the content of the pages linking to it) to determine if it's a good match for your query. Integrity Google's complex, automated methods make human tampering with our results extremely difficult. And though we do run relevant ads above and next to our results, Google does not sell placement within the results themselves (i.e., no one can buy a higher PageRank). A Google search is an easy, honest and objective way to find high-quality websites with information relevant to your search. |

From: Geoff the Duck The bloke responsible swears on his real website BLICKY that it ISN't a fix getting the page into the Google system. He claims it is exposure such as here, where one person finds it, then tells EVERYONE they know (and anyone who reads the thread). Just remember You (we) are the one keeping it in the Google Lucky Pick.# Quack! Geoff the Duck. |
