Title Tags

how does Google deal with multiples?

[Dumpy]

I have been moving on in the search business...peparing for the demise of DMOZ. And, I am starting a crawling process for subject areas.

My robot is finding many sites with multiple title tags and marks the sites as possible spammers. Does anyone know how Google deals with this problem?

As far as I can tell, they simply ignore the additional titles.

"peparing for the demise of DMOZ"

?

what do you mean?

I think the answer to that question is something that would be worthy of its own thread.

DMOZ is broken! It is an unreliable source for building a business model upon. As a precaution to inable survival it is imparitive to go to a self-sustained model, with a robot crawler and submissions.

Until their mission becomes stable they are dead to users of their RDF Dumps...the thousands of editors go merrily along adding 3 to 5 thousands of sites a day and only search engines with robots can propagate them.

With a robot you can strip out the urls from DMOZ, crawl them to a depth you desire and no attribution is required. Thereby gaining a competitive advantage over all RDF Dump users and give nothing to building DMOZ. Without attribution they lose the spontaneous submission of applications to become editors.

To allow the software to remain broken for over two months is a signal from Netscape to the entire internet world of their lack of interest. The statement has been made by their actions!
