Engine Results

Engine Results
10/08/2002 09:33 PMGoogle Revisited: Comparing Search Engine Results
With the recent change in Google's ranking (and, in apologies to Mark
Pilgrim, I now think Google has some real errors in the new ranking
when I didn't think so before, but it's still not as bad as some are
making it out to be), I thought it might be interesting to look at how
Google compares for a specitic search with other engines. And I
picked a query that has relevance to me -- Scott Johnson. No quotes,
no phrases, just those two words (except for AllTheWeb which gets a
special mention for automatically adding quotes). All I'm measuring
is not which page comes up first but where a page that is related to
me comes up. Sometimes it's a page from my website, sometimes it's a
blog page and sometimes it's my O'Reilly book catalog entry.
Google -- # 1
All the Web -- No Quotes -- #9
All the Web -- With Auto Inserted Quotes -- #3
HotBot -- #15
Lycos -- #6
Teoma -- #1
LookSmart (inktomi powered results) -- #31
Wisenut -- #1
Alta Vista -- #1
What's really interesting here is that almost all of this is almost
certainly related to my blog. I didn't have anywhere near these kind
of results before I was a blogger. It's also extremely interesting to
me the similarities between Google, Teoma, Wisenut and Alta Vista.
That's just plain shocking to me. True the comparison isn't entirely
valid since they result in different pages at times but these searches
all give results related to me.
Lessons From All This
There are two easy lessons from all this:
Right now the single best search engine optimization technique? A
simple weblog. And I know that Google seems to treat
radio.weblogs.com as a highly valid source of input so I recommend
Radio. But I think it really matters that you blog regularly and
somewhat consistently.
Don't spend exorbitant fees on search engine optimization. As ranking
algorithms have gotten much more complex without explicit, inside
knowledge of how the engines work it is very unclear to me that it
works at all anymore. I suspect that you'll get dramatically better
results by becoming a blogger.

Tech question about results of Google
image search for "Abu Ghraib"
05/26/2004 10:20 AMBoingboing reader Greg asks,
I find it interesting to note that Google image search doesn't have
any of the pics of the Abu Ghraib abuse that are floating everywhere
else on the net. A search for "Abu Ghraib" does bring up photos, but
none of the ones that we all saw on CNN and in the Wall Street
Journal. I had searched there not long after the story broke and found
none of them, but I figured it was just too new. Now, after weeks of
spidering time, they still aren't there. Anyone have an idea why?

Don't Blinkx Now: Contextual Search
Built Into Your Desktop
06/17/2004 08:53 PMOm Malik is
talking up
a new software product called Blinkx, which he says gives him the
same feeling Google gave him when he first met with the Google folks
early on in their existence. It's a desktop (Windows only)
application that integrates with your various applications to do
contextual search across news, websites, and your computer to try to
match any relevant info to the webpage, email or document you're
reading at the time. Honestly, it sounds like a Windows version of
Nat Friedman's Dashboard
program. I haven't played around with it that much yet, but in
looking at Om's page about Blinkx, it quickly pointed out to me that
the SJ Merc had written about them yesterday as well. Who said
the search space was a done deal? Just as all the big search players
are
figurin
g out a desktop search plan, this startup seems to have come up
with something that's fairly useful.

Yahoo Launch Y!Q, Contextual Search
Option
02/05/2005 09:46 PMSearch engine Yahoo has launched a new tool for users searching online
called Y!Q. Similar to existing "related links" options, the
tool offers users pages of a similar context to the one the user is
viewing. The service is already in operation on Yahoo! News, with
examples of stories on George Bush linking to sites on the American
president.
Yahoo is offering the service for Internet Explorer users (<a
href="http://yq.search.yahoo.com/splash/embed.html">downl
oad</a>) and Firefox users (<a
href="http://yq.search.yahoo.com/splash/firefox.html">dow
nload</a>), letting them do contextual searches without going to
Yahoo. Yahoo is also offering code to allow webmasters to <a
href="http://yq.search.yahoo.com/splash/embed.html">embed
</a>Y!Q in their pages.
Yahoo's new tool is another option for searchers who are becoming
startlingly similar to gleeful children receive far too many gifts at
Christmas. Yahoo's most recent financial report noted that ad revenues
from searches were proving more profitable and important. It, like the
other search companies, wants more users and wants them keep on coming
back; the problem is a complex one.
It’s difficult to have a system that gains strong user loyalty on
search engines; the most successful so far has been Google's simple
and effective search results. Google still maintains its 60% market
share and is by far the largest of a growing pack. Google today moved
their local search tool to the front page of the site; although still
only in beta form, the tool has proved successful and effective at
return accurate results. As if to do one better, Amazon's version of
local search on
A9.com
adds pictures of shop fronts and streets. Expect more presents from
the search companies soon.

Contextual Advertising In Email May Be
Patented - And Not By Google
05/19/2004 07:17 PMHere we go again with more pointless patent battles that will do more
to hold back, rather than encourage, innovation. While Google has
made the big publicity splash (with both good and bad publicity)
concerning their Gmail offering that puts contextual text ads
alongside email based on the contents of the email,
anothe
r company applied for a patent on a similar idea well before
Google applied for their own patent. Now, there's almost certain to
be some sort of patent battle concerning this type of offering, which
will do little (if anything) to help ensure better solutions reach the
public. Instead, it will just tie up lawyers in a long term battle
that will pay off handsomely for lawyers - but only delay innovation
for end users. Besides, I still wonder how such an idea is
patentable? It's not as if it wasn't obvious. Hell, even
I
came up with the idea before Google announced their product - and
if I could think it up, it's pretty hard to say that it's
"non-obvious."
