  1. Re:Not good news for webmasters on Deep Linking Legal in Germany · · Score: 1

    What you mean steal? Every single article page of Handelsblatt got banners from advertisers. Most of which never ever would have been visited in the first place, if it wasnt available at services like paperboy or google news or similar. To talk about stealing by providing a headline with two lines and the link to the article is beyond me.

    Norway is not in the EU :) And the postal code is the code of a post office not a residential adress.

    No the EU hasn't got a standard for postal codes, we [Eu] are not even capable of having one standard for plugs, so this will never work.

  4. Re:Talk about conflict of interest... on Searchking Loses Suit Against Google · · Score: 1

    If people like it, they'll link to it
    That is the problem, since Google's Page Rank it ain't no more what it used to be, before everyone was happy to add a link to his or her site, now you have to be careful what the big G likes or doesnt like.
    If you want to show up on google, buy some ad words
    I dont have to, I show up on the first result page. Usually the bottom feeding sort of Internet abuser that we really don't need is advertising on Adword, as they are banned or penalized by Google and wouldn't show up on the Results Page otherwise.

  5. Re:Talk about conflict of interest... on Searchking Loses Suit Against Google · · Score: 1

    I didn't start with it, Google did, as they rate sites by page rank not me. Google accounts for the most part of visits and if you dont play according to Google's Rule (one of them IS Page Rank) you will have problems to be found by someone that will link to you. p.s ...and no I dont have complex rings of crap as that is not good for page rank and thus the ranking in search engines.

  6. Re:Talk about conflict of interest... on Searchking Loses Suit Against Google · · Score: 1

    As currently the pagerank of google is screwed up (Google News UK has a page rank of 0) it is very dangerous to have it basically established as the standard on the one hand but completely unreliable on the other hand.

    And one link to a penalized website can get you penalized. (and you only know that the page is penalized by installing the google toolbar, which brings a whole new set of privacy concerns with it).

  7. Re:Talk about conflict of interest... on Searchking Loses Suit Against Google · · Score: 1

    The term best search enginge brings things into perspective.

    Pagerank is the worst thing ever invented as Google judges what is a good site to link an not common sense. Webmasters refuse very often to links with low pagerank although it would add value to their site.

    If you ever searched for "God" on Google you will see that it is far from perfect.
