Like? What in this interview was new (to you)? We already know that certain Top 3 results are handpicked. ------------------ I love this quote Fast - yea, i throw my computer out the window when i load up ASK, Yahoo, or Bing. <rollseyes> Clean - umm, you mean the actual google.com page, not the SERPS, right? Relevant - 4 straight months of Bing gradually growing marketshare might point to a different story. -------- Back to other threads related to word choice and syntax, MC's comments on Caffeine are telling. 2 points in the first sentence. He uses the word "was", NOT "is". or "will be". He also uses the word "primarily", not "exclusively" or "only". Again, he's obviously talking about Caffeine in past tense Hmm, what took "many months" that had much of the forum confused over the summer? Again, he's talking about Caffeine as if it's ALREADY out. ------------- It's always been more of a branding issue. ---------------- Well see Goog. You quickly are going down a dark slippery path much more insidious than a "Microsoft moment", and it's the employees who are the real voice than need to stand up and collectively say, "ENOUGH! This isn't what we were sold on when we came to work here. [edited by: whitenight at 2:19 pm (utc) on Oct. 5, 2009]
As always, premised with the theory that one never needs MC to announce anything if they follow the algo diligently reveals some aspects not mentioned previously 1. OK, the Web spam team doesn't have the ability to say "make that url the #1 result for this query". Does any other part of the Google team?
Both you and I have sites or clients sites that are beneficiaries of this, so whether it's hand-picked or algo-picked, it has the same end result.
. If you go to senior citizens and ask, “What do you like about Google?” they’ll say “Clean, fast, and relevant.”
lol really?
Is that the key demographic now?
Talking to a lot of senior citizens at the 'Plex?
Let's see...
With all the Universal search, images, videos, onebox, and related searches, Google SERPS are more congested than a personal Yahoo! portal page.
Oh yea, and the real "experts" here in these forums saying otherwise.
(Trial lawyers, NLP specialists, and "Lie to Me"/"The Mentalists" fans will note this) "Caffeine was primarily an infrastructural change"
Why?
It obviously is NOT just an infrastructure change.
He has continually used the word "PRIMARILY" indicating it is/was also more. "That was a huge undertaking over many months from the crawl and indexing team"
"Long National Nightmare Update?" "To most of the world, they probably wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. Maybe just a few search experts can really tell any kind of a difference at all.
Why would anyone be able to notice anything if it hasn't been implemented yet? but in, say, Germany, they have a lot more dashes on averages.
This settles the "how many dashes are flagged as spam" debate.
Telling someone your site is "cheap dash blue dash widgets dash online dot com," isn't great for branding, but doesn't hold any inherent "spamminess" for the algo. I think Google was in the mood to have someone rake us over the coals a little bit, and Anil’s post came at the perfect time to remind us our purpose to is make the Web better, our purpose is to return the best search results we can. Our purpose is not to be closed to outside feedback.
Can we forget about the profits and data collection for a moment and just work on ORGANIZING ALL THE INTERNETS INFORMATION without dollar signs being attached to it?"
