Google spying on Search users DATA

On June 19th, 2008 I have added a quickpost that is more as an alert to Google’s webspam properties as Hey Google! Wake up! Google’s servers to Host SEO Spammers Work.

Matt Cutts added that Google is Using data to fight webspam yesterday 6/27/2008 04:51:00 PM

Read carefully, but I think that Google should clean first is house with all hosted porno, finance, drugs, viagra and other Google Notes, Groups.
Hey Google! Wake up! Google’s servers to Host SEO Spammers Work.

Ah, yes add to all of this the impolite comments on YouTube that are written in latin character most of the time but when you read it in French, Russian, Chinese or Arabic, it turns YouTube into an insult gallery.

Data from search logs is one tool we use to fight webspam and return cleaner and more relevant results. Logs data such as IP address and cookie information make it possible to create and use metrics that measure the different aspects of our search quality (such as index size and coverage, results “freshness,” and spam).

Whenever we create a new metric, it’s essential to be able to go over our logs data and compute new spam metrics using previous queries or results. We use our search logs to go “back in time” and see how well Google did on queries from months before. When we create a metric that measures a new type of spam more accurately, we not only start tracking our spam success going forward, but we also use logs data to see how we were doing on that type of spam in previous months and years.

The IP and cookie information is important for helping us apply this method only to searches that are from legitimate users as opposed to those that were generated by bots and other false searches. For example, if a bot sends the same queries to Google over and over again, those queries should really be discarded before we measure how much spam our users see. All of this–log data, IP addresses, and cookie information–makes your search results cleaner and more relevant.

7= memory + challenge

But beside these manifestations that are part of and deeply rooted in the cultures around the world, 7 is simply a practical number that makes life easier for all of us. Since George A. Miller, a respected professor of psychology at Princeton University, introduced his theory of “the magical number 7″ in 1956, our short-term memory is generally considered to have the capacity for around 7 elements. While some scientists may speak of even less than 7, what this really means is that the average human (children included) can remember 7 digits, letters, words, or other units with just a little brainwork. This small effort is what solidifies it in our memory. So a system of 7 elements, such as the New 7 Wonders of the World, is something that every human can follow and remember by challenging his or her brain a little bit.

With the New 7 Wonders of the World, humanity has, for the first time, created what we are calling Global Memory, 7 things that everyone can remember and in which they can participate.

Would Google STOP the SEO STAR WARS?

Is the search engine Google and its algorithm able to stop the SEO and linking star wars?

During the last 4 months, many authority and well established sites in Tourism, Loans, Gaming, Poker, Real Estate, and Health has seen their sites dropping fast on Google’s ranking.

Many SEO forums and other search consultants has noticed that one more complicated factor can be out of GOOGLE’s Hands. So what is it?

- Old sites that are kept with previous hosting and IP can be remodelled and refreshed with new content, design, new incoming links and get highest ranking for top competing terms. Sample: The Figurative.com (www.votemikemorgan.com, www.scbsec.com, etc)

- Another factor is to shoot and add too many links with one single anchor text towards your main competitor from many new pages, many new ips), In this case, I would call that SEO Star Wars where bad guys getting down good guys by fighting and damaging their ranking.

As a conclusion, there is no algorithm that can stand Human turn arounds and that is the reason behind getting Google recruiting more quality raters and having reporting incident dashboard on the Webmaster tools. Use Webmaster tool to report any issue you found suspicious: Report Paid Links via GOOGLE.com

Remember that algorithm and artificial intelligence are the product of humans and just humans can turn things down.
