Introducing a New Web Search Contender
These days, web search is dominated by giants, and it s rare to see the
emergence of a new potentially world-class search engine. Meet Exalead,
a powerful search tool with features not offered by the major search
engines.
Exalead is a fairly new search engine from France, introduced in
October 2004 and still officially in beta.

The Decade in Online Advertising
The year 2004 marked the 10-year anniversary of web advertising. Since
DoubleClick has been around for nearly that entire history (the DART
system began serving ads in 1995, and DoubleClick incorporated in
January, 1996), we felt this was an appropriate opportunity to step
back and take a broad assessment of the industry: where it came from,
what it has accomplished and where we believe it is going. In April,
2005, DoubleClick released its seminal report, The Decade in Online
Advertising, 20-pages of research and observations authored by
DoubleClick s research director, Rick Bruner, in an attempt to rise
above the trees and see the whole forest of the industry we have worked
hard to help create.

CAN-SPAM Update
While CAN-SPAM directed the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") to
promulgate certain rules (for example, designating a label for adult
content emails and establishing the criteria for determining an email s
"primary purpose"), it also gave the FTC the authority to promulgate
"discretionary" rules to effectuate the purposes of the law. As part of
its discretionary rulemaking authority, the FTC, on May 12, published a
Federal Register notice seeking public comment on certain definitions
and substantive provisions it proposes. Go to article.

Content Sells
When designing a Web site, people often overlook the vital role content
plays in the success of any Web site. Aside from the importance of
content in SEO, Web sites should never underestimate the power good
content holds with visitors.

D oh!
The twin issues of fairness and bias in search engines has come to the
forefront this week with 2 threads. Homer s twitching eyes and nervous
hands should give you an idea of how the SEs might feel addressing
these sensitive issues.
The first, Defensive Tactics Used by the Search Engines at SEOChat
initially focuses on the types of penalty monitoring and instituting
systems the search engines use - everything from Google s sandbox to
spam reports to over-optimization penalties. As the thread progresses,
however, posters question the fairness of trustrank and wonder if
natural bias precludes a system like TrustRank from ever operating
successfully.
The second, Google News Unbiased When Blogs Left Out? at SEW, looks at
a recent study from Brad Hill on the subject of Google News fairness.
Posters argue over the interpretation of the data and whether Google
should be including or actively excluding extreme viewpoints on either
side, which typically are found in non-traditional news sources like
blogs.
These aren t issues that can be wrapped up quickly and will probably
continue to plague search for many years to come. Recongizing bias is,
however, the first step to overcoming it. When preference goes
un-noticed is when it can be the most damaging.

# The Blue Collar SEOs
Noteworthy this past weekend was Donna s post on the subject of Blue
Collar SEO. It s a fantastic short article on the different types of
SEO companies and individuals in the business and worthy of 5 minutes
of everyone s time.
At the current time, I too am mostly blue collar (with a white stripe
or two when I have to present at SES conferences). The majority of my
work is done in blue jeans and my days at the office don t start until
my morning reading and posting has been completed (often sans
pantalons).
As I find myself starting down a road that will lead to a collar color
change, I wonder if this is something that will make me happy over the
long run...

Y!Q and F'n Yahoos
Okay, you may have noticed those Y!Q contextual search tags on the post
pages here and on InsideMicrosoft. I was hoping to use Y!Q to let you
guys see other posts on Blog News Channel that relate to the one
you're reading. So far, while I'm mostly pleased with the results
on InsideGoogle, the InsideMicrosoft implementation is atrocious, with
lots of errors, despite the exact same code (literally, I copied and
pasted). So, I e-mailed Yahoo, which is so excited about Y!Q, it is
offering 5 grand to whomever designs the best implementation.
I hate autoresponders!
When a customer sends you a support request, an autoresponder says:
* We don't care
* We're not listening
* We might get back to you, eventually, or not
* We no longer have an obligation to get back to you, because this
covers all our bases
* Don't wait up
I would prefer waiting two weeks for a response, or even no response at
all, to an autoresponder. Autoresponders are worse than under-trained
call centers, it just shows a lack of effort.
And don't think I'm singling out Yahoo. Tons of companies make this
stupid, anti-helpful customer-dissatisfying feature all the time. Hey,
corporate eggheads: No one likes it!
So, thanks Yahoo, for your insightful response. My call is very
important to you? I had no idea! I realize I have a better chance
getting help by blogging about it than using your support link, so here
I go. If I don't hear back by Thursday, I'm giving up on your
product, which I had such high hopes for. Since Yahoo support isn't
listening, I have to hope Jeremy Zawodny is.
Yahoos.

Deux prefixes de recherche sont utilises selon les automates de

Le prefixe linkdomain: est utilise par la galaxie Yahoo! comprenant
AltaVista, AlltheWeb, HotBot France et Yahoo! Recherche.
Le prefixe link: est utilise par Gigablast, Google et MSN Recherche. Ce
prefixe est aussi disponible sur Altavista et AlltheWeb. Ni Ask Jeeves,

content in SEO, Web sites should never underestimate the power good
content holds with visitors.

D oh!
The twin issues of fairness and bias in search engines has come to the
forefront this week with 2 threads. Homer s twitching eyes and nervous
hands should give you an idea of how the SEs might feel addressing
these sensitive issues.
The first, Defensive Tactics Used by the Search Engines at SEOChat
initially focuses on the types of penalty monitoring and instituting
systems the search engines use - everything from Google s sandbox to
spam reports to over-optimization penalties. As the thread progresses,
however, posters question the fairness of trustrank and wonder if
natural bias precludes a system like TrustRank from ever operating
successfully.
The second, Google News Unbiased When Blogs Left Out? at SEW, looks at
a recent study from Brad Hill on the subject of Google News fairness.
Posters argue over the interpretation of the data and whether Google
should be including or actively excluding extreme viewpoints on either
side, which typically are found in non-traditional news sources like
blogs.
These aren t issues that can be wrapped up quickly and will probably
continue to plague search for many years to come. Recongizing bias is,
however, the first step to overcoming it. When preference goes
un-noticed is when it can be the most damaging.

# The Blue Collar SEOs
Noteworthy this past weekend was Donna s post on the subject of Blue
Collar SEO. It s a fantastic short article on the different types of
SEO companies and individuals in the business and worthy of 5 minutes
of everyone s time.
At the current time, I too am mostly blue collar (with a white stripe
or two when I have to present at SES conferences). The majority of my
work is done in blue jeans and my days at the office don t start until
my morning reading and posting has been completed (often sans
pantalons).
As I find myself starting down a road that will lead to a collar color
change, I wonder if this is something that will make me happy over the
long run...

Y!Q and F'n Yahoos
Okay, you may have noticed those Y!Q contextual search tags on the post
pages here and on InsideMicrosoft. I was hoping to use Y!Q to let you
guys see other posts on Blog News Channel that relate to the one
you're reading. So far, while I'm mostly pleased with the results
on InsideGoogle, the InsideMicrosoft implementation is atrocious, with
lots of errors, despite the exact same code (literally, I copied and
pasted). So, I e-mailed Yahoo, which is so excited about Y!Q, it is
offering 5 grand to whomever designs the best implementation.
I hate autoresponders!
When a customer sends you a support request, an autoresponder says:
* We don't care
* We're not listening
* We might get back to you, eventually, or not
* We no longer have an obligation to get back to you, because this
covers all our bases
* Don't wait up
I would prefer waiting two weeks for a response, or even no response at
all, to an autoresponder. Autoresponders are worse than under-trained
call centers, it just shows a lack of effort.
And don't think I'm singling out Yahoo. Tons of companies make this
stupid, anti-helpful customer-dissatisfying feature all the time. Hey,
corporate eggheads: No one likes it!
So, thanks Yahoo, for your insightful response. My call is very
important to you? I had no idea! I realize I have a better chance
getting help by blogging about it than using your support link, so here
I go. If I don't hear back by Thursday, I'm giving up on your
product, which I had such high hopes for. Since Yahoo support isn't
listening, I have to hope Jeremy Zawodny is.
Yahoos.

Le champ Hyperlien mis a jour
Le chapitre Champ Hyperlien du document Les langages des automates de
recherche a ete mis a jour. Le champ Hyperlien sert a trouver des pages
liees a une autre.
Deux prefixes de recherche sont utilises selon les automates de
recherche.
Le prefixe linkdomain: est utilise par la galaxie Yahoo! comprenant
AltaVista, AlltheWeb, HotBot France et Yahoo! Recherche.
Le prefixe link: est utilise par Gigablast, Google et MSN Recherche. Ce
prefixe est aussi disponible sur Altavista et AlltheWeb. Ni Ask Jeeves,
ni Exalead n exploitent ce champ.
Trois sites de recherche savent tirer profit du champ Hyperlien:
Gigablast, MSN Recherche et Yahoo! Recherche. Google porte le bonnet d
ane bien qu il soit le roi des analyses de liens.

Edito : Music everywhere
Tandis que Thierry Breton avait consacre sa presidence a l image, avec
des services comme le MMS, la visiophonie ou encore la television par
ADSL, son successeur, Didier Lombard, devrait prochainement annoncer un
vaste projet baptise "Music Everywhere", destine a proposer une large
offre de musique a l ensemble de ses abonnes. Assumant son statut d
operateur "integre", France Telecom devrait ainsi proposer une offre
musicale pour PC (Wanadoo), pour telephones (Orange), pour televiseurs
(MaLigne) et peut-etre egalement pour le visiophone. En plus des
actuels kiosques de telechargement comme le Wanadoo Jukebox, l offre
devrait permettre theoriquement de telecharger et de s echanger des
fichiers musicaux, quel que soit le terminal utilise. A l heure où
Real, Napster ou Yahoo lancent des forfaits illimites pour l acces a la
musique, les operateurs semblent en tout cas bien comprendre que ce
type d activite pourrait egalement leur permettre d augmenter leurs
revenus tout en mettant un terme au piratage
