One time I found a link on backflip that included username/password to an etrade account and yes it worked - I logged in and looked at the stocks. Sad thing is the username/password were in the TITLE of the link! There were similar cases but this was the worst.
That isn't a good thing. I called the owner and left message -- not sure what came of it.
True. An argument could be that if the "victom" owned the misspelled domain in question, they'd route it to their given site and the user would indeed find it. But it's hard to define a misspelling in somes cases. For example, would you believe I registered boogle.com before I had even heard of google? It's true, about two years ago or so. Originally I thought "Online Boggle!" but wasn't sure, seemed like a cool name to say. This was back in the day when Network Solutions (tm) allowed for unlimited "free" registrations. Finally after much time passed I put it online and could not believe all the immediate traffic! Initially I couldn't figure where it was coming from until a few google type urls showed up in the logs. I stuck a link to google and noticed most went to it. You wouldn't believe all the crazy versions of boogle.com that have existed, many tests to see what these people want! Some still are looking for boggle.com even, some the game boogle and who knows what else. The way I figure, everyone can find what they want trough the google search box:-)
Eventually google started an affiliate program and so I gave that a try. At first I earned like $2.00 a day (it used to be three cents per use, not it is one) then it grew and grew and I'd watch a few favicons popping up in my logs - I love those!
Odd that it's "the official site of the Anaheim Angels" , does this seem odd to anyone else? I'm not a big fan of baseball but I did not know that Anaheim angels preceeded the New York Yankees:-)

Search Engines : Quite a few
Synopsis : Nobody's perfect, don't always go off #1-3 and remember, anomolies exist in all things. I'm fairly certain such an article could be written about any search engine and the fact that this is so noted that google is not perfect, it must be pretty close. If we saw such an occurrence with other search engines we wouldn't think twice - it is expected. Thank you google for raising the standards!
This is one of reasons why google is so damn cool. Well, aside from the fact that it is the most useful search engine available today - it has spiffy cool logos. And of course the geek specific linux and bsd searches. It's silly to believe google is dead because of a "FEW" imperfect searches, imagine if these expectations were applied to other search engines! It MUST be good for us to have to search so hard to find faults , all things have anomolies.
Hi! I own and operate boogle.com which is similar to google.com , well, a little similar at least:-)
It started out with about 150 unique visitors a day and has gone up to about 700. What I've done to "combat" evil ways is a redirect, so if one types : boogle.com/search it will redirect to googles (yes people type this) or actually, anything other then real boogle pages redirect. Used to have a "how to google" page but theirs has really improved and is much more useful now so I recently removed it.
In short, I earn about $10 per day through the affiliate program at one cent per use. I've not yet contacted google but am fairly certain they know I exist. But plan to share this news soon to see if they hate me (hmm, maybe they are reading this!) Plans are in the works to add various features, we'll see. I find that MANY do not know how to use search engines and it seems do not desire to learn how on their own either so, I'm planning an "ask boogle" (will use alternative to word 'ask' of course) where boogle users will tell me what they are looking for and in turn, I will tell them how I conducted the search and archive these for future generations to learn from. In tests, people have liked this. I consider myself to be a good searcher (18 hours a day will do this) so might as well use these skills.
So why am I writing these words? Well, here is one way I've made success off a misspelling and am proud of it. Crazy thing is, some people actually hear and think boogle when friends tell them google - this theory has been tested, so it's not completely a misspelling issue but also miscommunication. I like this!:-) Boogle is at a crossroads and am building a backend as we speak!
Also, I own hoogle and toogle - they get about 10 or so hits a day each - not even close to boogle. I have planned to turn those over to google (if they accept) but keep boogle, unless sued. So this is my "success story" and it pays for my bandwidth and food! I love google and can't help but spread the word!
So... computers have been known to be used 'illegally' right? Why aren't they banned from this event? This is too insane to be true, please God say it's not true. This is just insane.
Must give kudos to Creative though, surely others will follow suit. What bullshit.
hmm. perhaps they'll group shows together. like, if barney is being watched they'll assume the 'My Little Pony' viewer is watching and direct those ads towards them. While if 'NYPD Blue' is on, they'll direct ads about E.R. and the like. Of course this is not perfect as many have a wide variety of tastes (I like History channel, Simpsons, on the occasional sitcom and these are not _that_ simular) so perhaps the remote control will sense the DNA/print of the user which hooks up to a master DB of their habits. Sure this isn't the case but...
And the fact that the CEO is _okay_ with it is pretty interesting. But what's kinda scary is this quote
"One of the reasons we've created the receiver the way we have is that the disk is sealed into the receiver; you cannot get access to the digital information. So we are somewhat concerned about the ability of people to hack in and get access to the copyrighted material because obviously our partners in the media industry are very concerned about this. "
What! A SEALED disk is what's protecting this information?! Okay, I'm sure this isn't the case (let's hope not!) but still, kind of a funny quote nevertheless;) Also, I can see the following as a challenge don't you?
Q: So you're afraid that people will save a bunch of movies, then transfer them from TiVo to their computers and eventually the Net. How possible is this?
A: It's an incredibly difficult task. It's one thing to record what you see onto the TiVo drive, but the format on that drive and how you get access to that drive is totally proprietary to us. It would be very difficult for somebody to actually hack into that. And as far as we know, no one is doing that today.
What does "ignore" mean though? Part of the marketing fun is to get inside our heads without us even knowing it. You might not click on it but part of your brain does sees it, remembers it, feels it and of course is annoyed by it. If widgets-r-us posted banners all over the web and you were unlucky to view them, while in the store you'd see a widget and think "I've heard of this" which, from a marketing standpoint, is a good thing.
Click-throughs aren't all that important in my book but of course this depends on the goal of the banner run. Branding. Clicks. Whatever.
BTW, I hate banners but disagree in other respects, such as them not working. They work alright, just not optimally.
So keep quite and use your junkbusting techniques, let the AOLers pay for our Internet;)
1. Add less clutter to search pages
2. Allow one to customize this number in preferences (10,30,100)
3. Rely on people pressing the " [ Gooooogle ] NEXT " arrows.
4. Eliminate duplicate results
By pressing "Next" it means it doesn't display the initially n pages. In the olden days if you search for 10 and then switch to 30, you're seeing the first 10 again and must scroll down. Pressing "Next" you do not see these repeats.
So, set your preference to '30' and use the NEXT feature when you want to see more results.
I can't find the article/court case that provides this opinion but it had to do with meta search engines and the courts didn't like how they used and messed with other peoples content. Simular to what happend with dialectizer (although it's back up!) so now I am unsure and will no doubt look into it.
Anyone have reference to related court cases and rulings?
It seems even Cached pages (which they highlight words on) would almost be illegal, hopefully not though.
