On a few of my sites, Yahoo has added some strange query string variables to the pages that are indexed. One of them is: www.example.com/?aref=9 MSN Local Search Option

Search Guild Recent ThreadsFroogle - associating reviews.
does anyone know how I can kick Froogle into associating site reviews with my feed?
Basically if you search for, say Goats Cheese on Froogle and scroll down to the Waitrose entry you'll see there's a 'Reviews' link which links to an online review site.
But I have clients on my Froogle account which have reviews on sites which Froogle pulls them in from (including that exact site) with the same site url as is given in the review, and they aren't showing up....
From what I can see they should get automatically matched - has anyone got any idea how I can kick start this matching? Do you think it needs a new review? trouble for small programming companies?
Pretty scarey stuff reported by the BBC - ultimately there're only a certain number of ways you can code something - a shopping basket has to use certain concepts otherwise it isn't a shopping basket anymore - pretty much if we can't write shopping baskets (online and offline and whatever we call them) then this little company has lost half it's business :(
Since patents are about methods not the actual code, this we means we would have to pay to use the theory, regardless of the fact we've written totally unique code to do it, regardless even of us working out the best software construction around ourselves and never deconstructing a competitors product. Basically you use a concept/method you pay £££ to whatever company managed to patent it first.
Yet if the new directive is nodded through at the next meeting of one of the EU's ministerial councils, as seems likely, it will allow programs to be patented in Europe just as they are in the US.
In the US you cannot build a system that stores customer credit card details so that they can pay without having to re-enter them unless Amazon lets you, because they hold the patent on "one-click" online purchase.
If you think that's so stupid it'll never get through in Europe I seem to remember that Microsoft actally managed to patent the double click a couple of years ago didn't they? I suspect EU judges are no brighter than US ones and when the people making the decisions are that out of touch you have to wonder not only if things will become law but if it'll actually get enforced at some point?
The problem with all of this stuff is that however stupid the law is it can cost

well I guess we should mention this (is my enthusiasm for all things Google underwhelming you at the moment :) ) Google Weather.
Actually it is pretty cool (I'm assuming it gets the forcast right) if a litle quirky - search for weather:springfield and it assumes Springfield, IL - change the search to weather:springfield, OR and it doesn't understand you and assumes Springfield, IL - change the search again to weather:springfield, or and it returns you Springfield, OR. There's a bit of a case problem to iron out here guys. :) It's dancing again!!
hahaha... another wild ride.. some datacenters are showing wildly... and I mean wildly differing results again ...
when I say wild.. I mean #1 is #400 in other datacenter.. Is there any limit on number of links on the home page
hi buddies can anyone know the limit on the number of backlinks on the home page. is there any penalty if we provide more links Google only indexed my home page
Google has just indexed the homepage of the my site recently but no other page has been indexed.
it has been more than two months
no other pages have been added
it doesn't even reflect the keywords searching through google
I have a poor rankings
My site has very less content and mostly images are there. But my site has proper navigation to all the pages in the site. I have also site map in it then why only my home page is indexed. Remember Smart Tags ?
Remember all the fuss when Microsoft tried to hijack your traffic with smart tags ?
Apparently now Google wants to try the same trick.

Found a site in DMOZ that has thousands of pages with thousands of hidden words (which i can't stand), which obviously affects thousands of serp's results. Whats the procedure for getting it removed from DMOZ ?
many thanks. Need some serious Help!
Hello all,
I checked my domain yesterday in G to look at the cached page and my domain didn't come up! Am I banned or what? I thought I was about to come out of the Sandbox but come to find this. I still have my PageRank though on my site.
Google still shows my backlinks, PageRank and allin's on all Datacenters so I'm confused as to what's happening.
Please help!

Thanks.

QUOTE Search engine placements remain the same. Just noticed that. Apparently, you have nothing to worry about then. webpromoter: Google Placing Less Emphasis On Link Popularity? (Optimization Tips & Techniques)
Hi,
I don't know if this is true or not, but as Google is updating PRs, there is a rumor being circulated that they're now placing less emphasis on link popularity. Can someone point to a credible source on this topic?
Link popularity initially may have seemed like a good idea, albeit a flawed one, as a factor for relevancy, but as we all know, as soon as the word gets around, people would try to exploit the SE algorithm, sometimes through questionable means (eg. link farming, link buying, etc). I don't see any ethical problems with SEO in general, but since SEs have to constantly evolve to keep their systems from being abused, I wonder if many of us are allocating too much of our time & resources to gain higher link popularity? sweepthelegnate: Yahoo Webhosting (Technology and Coding)

um...wow. google cloaking their own pages...why didn't they just go buy some links? Randy: Anchor Tags Changing Color Of Link Text (Technology and Coding)
You could go either way.
Putting it into the head section of each page for a 12 page site is probably the easiest. 100 pages would be another story. ;) Haystack: Links To My Web Site Disappearing Overnight! (Link Building)
QUOTE But by producing links by hand you can control the context they're put in - so as not to look like spam. So if you work to keep your spam from looking like spam it's no longer spam? Interesting theory. QUOTE So, example, if I set up a homepage e.g.myhomepage.com (or a blog) and put some links to my favourite web sites, is this spam? How can it be? Step back for a moment and think about what search engines are trying to achieve when they use link popularity as part of their search engine algorithms. Clearly, the assumption behind it is to use the independent endorsements web site owners have made to decide how important a web page may be. If you're using a tactic that abuses this basic assumption (artificially inflating your site's link popularity through blog spamming, fake sites, etc.), you're setting yourself up for failure. Here is Google's advice on the subject: QUOTE Webmasters who spend their energies upholding the spirit of the basic principles listed above will provide a much better user experience and subsequently enjoy better ranking than those who spend their time looking for loopholes they can exploit. http://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.htmljjisles: Anchor Tags Changing Color Of Link Text (Technology and Coding)
Cool. Got it.
This nav scheme will be in almost every page (the site will be approx. 12 pages more or less). I'm not using any CSS. Would you recommend using the external CSS file, which would be a first for me as well.

Mike Renagade Master: Google Cloaks? (Industry News)
I'm shocked they couldn't find a better way of boosting their own pages to #1, than to cloak. Which isn't scaleable, they'll have to cloak every page they want boosted.
I would have thought a bit of code like:
CODE
if ( web_page_domain in google_owned_domain_list ) then
web_page = top_position
