Update Saga. Part 5

[Brett_Tabke]

What say you?

Over and done with?

All done all through?

[soapystar]

search.microsoft.com - 3%

wot is the point of comparing a search engine with a portal or one thats 49% for email?

[financialhost]

search.yahoo.com - 7%

wots your point?

But yahoo email is 49% - this would be an excellent way for Yahoo to turn some extra search clients from Yahoo email - if they used this properly.

So Yahoo might be up and coming...

I think this thread is losing momentum - just as jagger 3 does.

I wonder what Google is waiting for. Is there anyone who can give us a short weather report?

[soapystar]

thats not where he was going. There was a sugggestion that the alexa rankings reflected consumer shifts between search engines during Jagger but only because the breakdown for the specifc search areas wasnt considered.

[soapystar]

given its rollout..then rollback...then rollout again it would seem they are not happy with they results got....some tinkering being carried out to bring about the intended serps they saw internally....

giggle, post 666, good information.

Irrational use of CSS, I guess most people here simply don't know what CSS really is. For them, this is what is refered to:

text-indent:-1000px
text-indent: 1500px

position:absolute;
left:2000px
top:-1000px
left:-3000px
bottom:1000px

positioning elements on top of each other to hide text
applying near full or full opacities to text elements
Positioning an iframe over a div then putting text in the div

Let's see, what else, that's the first stuff that comes to mind.

Leosghost, post 680, after all your most kind admonitions to this bored board, here you go, and ask the same? What can it be? Not that I didn't enjoy the posting, don't get me wrong, worth thinking about as a more general rule re how to spend seo time.

And to those who took offense: are you telling me that you actually think reading 3000 posts that have essentially either the same or no meaningful content is a good way to spend your lives and time?

[Pico_Train]

No, it's not a good use of time but people have the right to say what they will, whether you read or not is really up to you.

Most of this is garbage but occassionally a member comes up with something worthwhile - like your div and iframe positioning spam explanation. Thanks never thought it and will never use it!

Are the final dance results listed on 66.102.9.104?

(I hope so)

No one is saying people don't have the right to repeat the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over etc again.

But as you can see, it's pretty pointless.

The question is why waste your time in this way? What's the point? It doesn't do the posters any good at all, and it doesn't do the people reading these threads any good at all. All it achieves is making it harder to figure out what the update actually is doing, and how it's doing it. Which is theoretically the point of an update thread. Or should be.

For example, if you cut through all the garbage postings, you will end up with basically the conclusions that giggle pointed a link to. Which is where you want to be, you want to have some idea of what's actually happening. The more useless postings there are, the harder it is to achieve that desired result.

is it me or PR changed? I had a PR4 on one site, now it's 5, where it should be of course:)
