  1. Re:Google search for marketbanker returns 11,400 h on Google Helps Offer Blogger Pro For Free · · Score: 1

    yes, there are many domains that point to marketbanker.com (such as adcache.com and httpads.com) those will show up in the results for a search for "marketbanker".

    even some marketbanker.com pages such as their privacy statements etc...

    but the main page "http://www.marketbanker.com" will never show up. it used to be #1 obviously for that search, but now you can't get it to show up EVER.

    and google adsense didn't produce as much money for me, so i'll stick with pud's creation.

  2. blargh. on Google Helps Offer Blogger Pro For Free · · Score: 4, Interesting

    maybe they just want the content...

    bloggers create thousands of well written reviews of software/hardware/music/movies/porn, and google could index it, figure out what people like and sell that data to advertisers...... they bascially own the output of thousands of wanna be writers for a drop in the bucket.

    sure, a normally company to offer these services would be a horrid business model, but already profitable google only needs a few more comodity servers and probably no more techies to maintain this... why not...

    plus google text ads will probably be there.

    personally i use marketbanker.com to sell and display text ads (which, incidently, google has removed from their search index... monopoly anyone? that was the first "evil corporate move" i have ever seen google make.)

  10. not a good idea.... on Nutch: An Open Source Search Engine · · Score: 3, Interesting

    google is already ideal... the weight of search results is not sold, just text ads.

    people are already 'googlebombing' to try and get better rankings by signing up tons of domains and cross linking them all with the keyword that they want to be #1...

    if the algorithm that determined how #1 is determined was public, then the best possible strategy to cheat the system could be demised... instead of paying for weight to the search engines you would be paying to web developers to make the search engine think you were #1. and as a web developer i feel that.... oh... wait, proceed.

  15. Re:Check out Internet Mail 2000 on Replacing SMTP? · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    obviously the mail is kept on the ISPs server, not the end users machine. and so what if the end receiving user has to connect to 30 different servers... your ISP already has to connect to them all to get your mail as is. it would be just as fast. the email client could do all of this for you and not even show messages whose server is down. its on THEM.

    right now if the company wanted to send an email out to the world it would take a while... with this system they are just sending headers so it goes much faster. the whole point of this is to reduce spam by not letting people send out tons and tons of mail at once, and if they want to THEY have to suffer the bandwidth and storage instead of the ISP.

    It's a nice try, but it'll never work.

    that is what natural selection said about your family, but you are here, so never count anything out.

    YOU CAN'T RUN A PAY BY THE EMAIL SYSTEM UNLESS THERE IS *1* EMAIL SERVER (or network of servers run by the same entity) FOR THE WORLD.

    you don't realize that IM is a form of email? you are just sending packets of text... the second someone charges for SMTP, i'll just run my own. you could just charge the end users for data transfered instead of flat monthly fee, but most wouldn't go for that.
