Cracking the Google Code... Under the GoogleScope

jglazer75 writes "From the analysis of the code behind Google's patents: "Google's sweeping changes confirm the search giant has launched a full out assault against artificial link inflation & declared war against search engine spam in a continuing effort to provide the best search service in the world... and if you thought you cracked the Google Code and had Google all figured out ... guess again. ... In addition to evaluating and scoring web page content, the ranking of web pages are admittedly still influenced by the frequency of page or site updates. What's new and interesting is what Google takes into account in determining the freshness of a web page.""

So? Maybe, outside of your little world, more people are interested in TigerDirect (a fairly large computer parts store) than an Apple OS.

My Last Google Article

[Cheirdal]

This is the last article I'm ever reading about Google on here. Does Google pay Slashdot to cover them every day? I'm personally sick of seeing Google articles. It's a search engine, it's not a cure for cancer. I don't see any noticeable improvements in finding things on the web between Google and Alta Vista yet every day a new article hailing Google as the search engine to end all search engines appears on Slashdot. The short-lived NlightN search engine back in the mid 90's indexed a lot more than Google does and it included indexing of phrases and individual words, including stop words like 'the'. So lets all herald Google for not being as good as a search engine that was out in 1995.
