Wikipedia Editors Discuss SEO
Wikipedia has some fascinating reading on the topic of SEO, not in the
body of their article on SEO, but rather in the discussion section of
the page, where many of the editors show great bias towards the
industry as a whole and the individuals involved therein.
It s worthwhile sometimes to see how people view search engine
optimization and optimizers - mainly to see how far we as an industry
have to progress before legitimacy can be achieved.

Google Rater Hub - Details Of Human Review System Unveiled
Google Secret Lab, Prelude from Henk van Ess s new Search Bistro blog
looks at how Google uses human reviewers to improve search quality. Ess
has a screenshot and a Flash movie of how the system works, for Google
s temporarily hired Q&A checkers. Very nice details so far that I ve
never seen posted anywhere before. However, this type of system isn t
new. WebCrawler used to have a feedback system like this back in the
late 90s, and other major search engines have had human reviewers, as
well. Gather enough data of what s deemed good and bad, and the hope

Modern Web Design Using JavaScript and DOM , Stuart introduces the
basics of DHTML and DOM, then kicks off the script-fest as he handles
DOM events and explores browser sniffing techniques.

Scholar along with a look at Highwire Press Archive.
Dr. Jacso remains far from impressed and that s putting it mildly with
Google Scholar. His first review of GS was published in December 2004.
In this new review he writes, "Google Scholar still does not reveal any
of the essential facts about the content, composition, source coverage
and time span of its database.

# Google Running Secret Quality Labs?
Henk Van Ess has started off a new blog, Search Bistro, with a scoop he
claims to have found: Google's evaluation labs. Henk says that one of
his students at the University of Amsterdam was a participant in the
Google Rater Hub, which pays people to rate the accuracy of Google
search results in order to improve results and reduce spam. Henk links
to a job posting looking for a "Quality Rater" for Google,
mentioning the job tasks as ""help with work on a search quality
evaluation" and "Candidates will evaluate search results and rate
their relevance". Henk claims that the site is at eval.google.com
(which is 404 if you aren't in the program) and has posted a Flash
movie of it in action.

# Popularity Is Bad
Darren Rowse has a good article at WebProNews explaining the dangers of
having a site that becomes very popular in a short period of time.
While (obviously) a very popular new site will be getting lots of
visitors (that is the definition of popularity), they won't be coming
from search engines, no matter how many thousands of inbound links you
score. That's because any brand new site accumulating huge numbers of
hits smells of search spam to any intelligent search engine. While
Darren advises to start growing your site slowly, I say to hell with
it. If your site is getting so many links that Google is watching you
closely, then you are already doing just fine. Ride the wave of
popularity, and in a few months, Google and all the other engines will
catch on.

Un sondage aupres de leurs membres a montre que 63 pour cent exigent
aujourd hui un paiement pour le contenu en ligne, alors qu ils n

contenu en ligne representent actuellement 19 pour cent de l ensemble
des recettes des membres de l AOP. A noter encore que les paiements
pour les consultations aleatoires, les fameux micro-paiements puisqu il

L iPod sans iTunes grace a Winamp
Le lecteur multimedia surpasse iTunes dans sa gestion de l iPod en
offrant des fonctions jusque-la inaccessibles avec le logiciel d Apple.
Y compris pour les chansons achetees sur la boutique en ligne du
fabricant.
Les fans du lecteur multimedia Winamp n ont pas besoin d iTunes pour
contrôler leur iPod. Mieux, ils ont acces a des fonctions
inaccessibles, voire interdites, avec le logiciel maison d Apple. Le
tour de passe-passe necessite simplement le telechargement (gratuit) et
l installation d un plug-in (autrement dit, une extension logicielle).
ml_ipod, c est son nom, permet de synchroniser plusieurs iPod et de
copier leur contenu sur le disque dur d un PC. Ce qu iTunes ne sait pas
faire.

ouverts tels que ceux du Web3D Consortium.

By Henk van Ess - Search Bistro - What is it? It s a lab of humans from
all over the world (from China to The Netherlands, from Korea to
Brasil) They are paid to check search results of Google every day. Most
