  1. Re:Did Google hire the guy? by Intron · · Score: 1 · on The Vanishing Click-Fraud Case

    I don't think so. He sounds like a real bozo. Here's an online conversation where he uses the name CountScubula and explains what he is doing. I suspect Google strung him along until they figured out what he had, then modified their anti-cfraud software to detect it, then dropped him.

    Well, couldn't have been that successful, for he didn't win.

    Google is definitely cracking down on duplicate content. In fact, they've recently patented the concept.

    Insert software patent debate (where Google is the default hero due to its geek factor) here...

  5. Re:I forgot the most important thing by T3kno · · Score: 1 · on Yahoo To Charge For Search Listings

    Way OT, but the last time there was a Google flame thread on /. I found this site Search Guild that has a directory of all kinds of search engines. Some work better than others, most suck, but the most interesting one that I found was Kartoo a flash based search engine. As much as I loathe flash, this site is pretty cool. A search for putty on the World Wide Web, brings up a page with several page icons and some words. The chiark.greenend... site is linked to the words source and free, clicking on either searches within your results. Thus clicking on source brings a page of links to the source code of putty and some source packages that reference it. It's a little slow to use, definately not as fast as Google, but a cool idea none the less. Something like this will be schweet once SVG is supported natively by real browsers.

    Or click it a zillion times and clear cookies each time.
    Why click? If you want to put silly things in their logs, simply follow this stupid link, with cookies disabled it inlines the inline page in itself a few times before inlining the google cache of slashdot.
  7. Google has added stemming by interiot · · Score: 5, Informative · on Search Beyond Google

    Google recently added stemming as a search of {quit smoke} will reveal. You can read about it in their help section. Stemming can be disabled on specific words. Otherwise the update came around November 15, 2003, but is probably still in flux, so there isn't too much good info about it yet.
