I don't think anyone mentioned having the words "under construction" on a page. Especially if it's accompanied by a nice animated GIF of a guy with a shovel.

Copyright date isn't a sign of crap. It is a sign that the page was written on the year of the copyright. Updating the copyright date each year is silly on a page without a change in content. [edited by: OTPh at 8:41 pm (utc) on Feb. 7, 2007]

In many cases, the copyright date is displayed in a running footer, so the current year will be shown regardless of when the page was written. Also, the entire site may be protected by a "compilation copyright." Look at any newspaper site, for example, and you'll see a "Copyright 2007 [Name of Newspaper]" notice on every page, even though the content on some pages is copyrighted by syndicates, contributors, wire services, etc. and archived articles may be from 2006 or earlier.

So I compiled a page in 1999 and need to copyright it. So I change my copyright notice to 2007 and then find someone copied it in 2006, so now I am the thief. As pages have a server date or last modified stamp right (sorry if terminology is wrong)? Surely a page that has been around since 1999, copyrighted 1999 or 1999+ and periodically refreshed is better than a new 2007 page, or am I wrong?

Phew took a while to get to the end of this! What about very very long pages that are 100K+ of html. Crap if they are stuffed full of html layout instructions - use CSS! Or wasted if its mainly text that should be split into many pages.

Google isn't going to rely on copyright notices or (date of last updating) to determine which of two sites' versions of a text block is older. It will rely on the data in its own index.

Agreed EFV, copywrite statements on the bottom of the page might seem a bit boilerplate like.
