Wolf and Gwennie: attached at the hips?
http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?F...pe=0&q=Gwennie
The link to Wolf's profile doesn't even point to the right page. Her profile ranks higher than mine in a search for Gwennie? This looks like a bug in the brand spanking new search engine at MSN.

I met with the search team at MSN last year; they're all focused on low level details like having the web crawler make direct calls to WinSock and tuning the C code. Yet, they have these serious algorithmic problems with URL normalization and index/display version skews. When I interviewed there it was like Oil & Water, we didn't mix at all. I do high level programming in Java, Tomcat, and Linux. That wasn't popular with them. The only reason I went up there was because their recruiters called me. Glad to see they've launched MSN Search and show us how 'great' it is.

I've been thinking about how this bug could arise. They're spidering/indexing process would have to be fairly screwed up for a version skew of the content.
It is clear to me now that they index the text of the link to the page along with the content of the page. The spider grabs a forum index page with a link to last poster of "Gwennie", by the time the spider follows the link it grabs Wolf's profile page and associates the link text with the wrong web page. Since Wolf's profile page out scored the Gwennie! profile page, it is apparent that they put too much weight on the link text. They have plenty of tuning to do. Those of us that have been search engineers before the Internet came along don't use these crutches like these newbies. Pure linguistic algorithms don't use link information, but rather find documents that are related because of phrases that they share. Sorry, folks, I'm just thinking out loud here and I thought their may be some interest in Search in The Internet forum.

If the keyword density is too low, it's relevance score for the keyword will be lower. But, if it is too high such as "Whale Penis, Whale Penis, Whale Penis, Whale Penis, Whale Penis, Whale Penis", that's artificially high and will be rejected. Work the keywords of interest into the web page content as much as possible. Replacing pronouns and repeating the keywords in normal language is the best. Follow the keyword density of The Cellar Profile pages. The Cellar Go Back The Cellar > View Profile Reload this Page Gwennie!

Two more things. The posts in the thread on El Ciberbosque should have links to http://whalepenis.org/
If you want Google to visit that page more often put Google AdSense on the bottom of the page. They spider AdSense pages more often than others. You could also put AdSense on El Ciberbosque to get those pages spidered more often. Church of the Whale Penis

Google page rank gives attention to sites that have heavy inbound linking so the first thing is to get a lot of sites to link to the site -- with the keywords.
Google assigns more priority to sites that change regularly so the next thing to do is to put dynamic content on the page. |

Actually, syc's goal is to get the infamous "Whale Penis Thread" to be number one for whale penis, but would probably be satisfied with getting the church's webpage up there as well. Thanks for the analysis!

The CoWP states search ranking as it's goal. So that's why I focused on that site. The default settings for the Guest user is 20, so a search index will score each page of 20 posts. When you get past 20 posts, the relevance score of the first page of the thread won't change. You are better off starting a new thread filling it with 20 posts with good keyword density and linking to the page. Adding new pages to a thread won't change the search ranking of previous pages of that thread.

I seem to remember some sites had to block the old MSNBot because it saw each sessionID as a unique URL.....
