The dangers of PageRank


The dangers of PageRank 02/10/2004 02:44 AM

A well documented side effect of the weblog format is that it brings Google PageRank in almost absurd quantities. I'm now the 5th result for simon on Google, and I've been the top result for simon willison almost since the day I launched. High rankings however are not always a good thing, especially when combined with a comment system. A growing number of bloggers have found themselves at the top position for terms of little or no relevance to the rest of their sites, which in turn can attract truly surreal comments from visitors from search engines who may never have encountered a blog before.

I know of a couple of entries on my own blog that are attracting this kind of traffic. The most interesting is probably this entry on artifical diamonds, which has attracted comments from both buyers and sellers of artificial gems. My entry on MSN messenger usability problems from 2002 has drawn a steady stream of hilarious comments, no doubt caused in part by its top rating on Google for msn messenger sucks. Amusingly, for a long time Microsoft's own search engine was giving my page a high rank for a wide variety of less negative messenger related terms.

My own experiences of this phenomenon pale in to significance to some of the others I've seen. The most impressive example has to be Jason Kottke's brief review of the Matrix Reloaded, which drew over 900 comments from Google strays, developed its own micro-community and resulted in Jason pondering who owns the conversation on my web site? Jason eventually deciding to close and archive the thread after the page grew to more than a megabyte in size.

The problem can take on a far more disturbing twist. I won't link directly to these entries for fear of adding to their predicaments, but searches for crime scene cleanup and suicide chat rooms both return blogs in the first two results. The former thread is mostly crime scene cleanup companies marketing their services, but the latter is quite frankly disturbing. It's certainly lead me to double check the titles of my entries before posting them.

Thankfully, avoiding this kind of unwanted comment traffic is pretty simple. One way is to simply disable comments for entries older than a certain time (generally a couple of weeks), although personally I like to see the occasional comment on old entries. A neater solution proposed by Russell Beattie last year is to simply hide comments from search engine referrals, thus ensuring that random strays won't leave their mark without understanding the nature of your site first.

Blogs and PageRank


Blogs and PageRank 07/15/2004 10:09 PM

Will the preponderance of blogs these days wreak havoc with Google's PageRank model? It used to be that you couldn't get a link from a big name site without having something they they wanted to link to. And if they linked to it, then they liked it, so others might as well, thus a higher PageRank. Not so anymore.

I can get a link on SixApart.com by posting a comment or a trackback. Ditto for Kottke. I can't on Boing Boing, but I can on Don Park's site. And there a lot of other blogs out there with PageRank values of, say, seven and up that I can get a link on very easily.

This site, for instance, has a PageRank of six, and you can get a link from here by just saying some intelligent (sadly, we've taken steps to eliminate the PageRank value, but I may remove that because other steps have helped cure the spam problem).

So, with all these high PageRank sites out there, it's getting easier to increase the PageRank of your own site. And you don't even have to spam — even a dolt can come up with something intelligent to say about post. Keep it remotely relevant, you won't get deleted, and — voila! — you just finagled a link from a site with decent PageRank.

This being the case, will PageRank's relevance and value deteriorate over the next few years?

(This begs another question — would Google ever allow you to designate links as self-service? By using a special comment or something, you could declare to the GoogleBot that you didn't add these links yourself, instead they were added by the link's target. And if this happened, would you do it? Would you essentially screw your commenters? Would people be more likely to comment on blogs that advertised that they didn't marginalize links using this method?)

PageRank: Google's Original Sin


PageRank: Google's Original Sin 09/17/2002 05:02 AM
In the first place, Google's claim that "PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web" must be seen for what it is, which is pure hype. In a democracy, every person has one vote. In PageRank, rich people get more votes than poor people, or, in web terms, pages with higher PageRank have their votes weighted more than the votes from lower pages. As Google explains, "Votes cast by pages that are themselves 'important' weigh more heavily and help to make other pages 'important.'" In other words, the rich get richer, and the poor hardly count at all. This is not "uniquely democratic," but rather it's uniquely tyrannical.

"tri" So if google is all about the tyranny of the elite (and yes, if you are reading this, you count as one of the chosen), why does it work so well?
