Comments on: Searching for True Possibilities: A Question From the Edge http://www.ysearchblog.com/2005/02/07/searching-for-true-possibilities-a-question-from-the-edge/ Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:49:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: World Tour http://www.ysearchblog.com/2005/02/07/searching-for-true-possibilities-a-question-from-the-edge/comment-page-1/#comment-816 World Tour Fri, 11 Feb 2005 04:59:41 +0000 http://ysearchblog.com/blog/2005/02/07/searching-for-true-possibilities-a-question-from-the-edge/#comment-816 The bottom line is still the same...A search engine will never be able to answer a question unless (1) A human has already answered it (2) they have also written a very well structured website or blog that just happens to have the "question you just asked" strategically placed as keyword phrases throughout the site AND (3) the human who knows the answer and built the website or blog is willing to pay .49 per click to show you the answer to the question you just asked. Makes sense to me. I have tried this for 2 years now by putting together a phrase that never gets any action as far as search engine popularity like "let's play some world tour in Alabama" then use this very same title on a page that is already indexed for "world tour" in all the sites including google,msn and yahoo just to see if my page comes up after its been recrawled. Google...not even in the top 100 after 60 days. Yahoo has been the best with it usually in the top 20 as quick as 30 days, with msn a close second coming in the top 40 sites. This is obviously just my own tiny experiment with no-one knowing what i'm doing except me but..... the results have always been the same. Some of this comment has been omitted due to questionable filters ! The answer to the question is......I believe it's true that yahoo is my friend and google isn't but I can't prove it :-)) The bottom line is still the same…A search engine will never be able to answer a question unless (1) A human has already answered it (2) they have also written a very well structured website or blog that just happens to have the “question you just asked” strategically placed as keyword phrases throughout the site AND (3) the human who knows the answer and built the website or blog is willing to pay .49 per click to show you the answer to the question you just asked.

I have tried this for 2 years now by putting together a phrase that never gets any action as far as search engine popularity like “let’s play some world tour in Alabama” then use this very same title on a page that is already indexed for “world tour” in all the sites including google,msn and yahoo just to see if my page comes up after its been recrawled. Google…not even in the top 100 after 60 days. Yahoo has been the best with it usually in the top 20 as quick as 30 days, with msn a close second coming in the top 40 sites.

The answer to the question is……I believe it’s true that yahoo is my friend and google isn’t but I can’t prove it :-))

We have gone from using mathematics to represent verbalizations to attempting verbalization in context with mathematical equation. Search is only as useful as the results it yields. In my opinion, the way to go is to simply seek to answer the six basic interogatives: who, when, where, why, what, and how. Any Search engine that consistently provides relevant results to these inquiries will in the end win out. That is where every person who uses language to communicate starts when it comes to finding answers. With a question.
