RE: Google's "Accurate" Algorithm
- Among the 10 search results, 4 dictionaries/references actually point to the correct word "Google".
- You asked for "giigke,cin", and you got some info about "giigke,cin" from Google. You got what you asked for. What is wrong with that?
- Essentially you are asking Google to do something:
- That it need not to do. What is the problem when Google returns some weird results for "giigke,cin"? Almost every sane user will ignore the search results when he finds out he typed the wrong words, and correct the search term immediately. Not to mention we don't actually type with sticky fingers everyday. So where your site stays on the search results of "giigke,cin" almost have no effect to the traffic of it. Why do Google employees have to take time optimizing the results of "giigke,cin" instead of focusing on something more important?
- That it should not do. To keep freedom of speech, I believe, Google does not and have no right to remove any page from its search results, even though they are as content farms or senseless contents, unless there's meeting a legal or copyright issue or the page is proven malicious. Google could only change the rank of a particular page in its search results.
- That it is not responsible to do. Yes, Google claimed they have an algorithm that could identify whether a website provides valuable information in some degree, but when have they claimed it could do it perfectly? When would any a single company in the world dare to do it?
- That it cannot do.
Well, where have you got the idea that algorithms can now 100% understand what you have typed with sticky fingers? Computers are computers. If you have used Hunspell/Aspell for spelling suggestions, you should be able to understand that Google is already doing a much better job in guessing what your words mean.
And it's way beyond Google, or the intelligence of whole mankind within at least 2,000 years to be able to filter out all senseless contents with an algorithm of infinite wisdom -- it must smarter than its designers, since all the senseless contents are produced by humans, too, directly or indirectly. If it's possible, you won't see moderators on NiftyHost forums but moderating robots.
- And I could easily write "Bing's "Accurate" Algorithm" or "Yahoo's "Accurate" Algorithm". Their algorithms are equally bad. Why bashing Google only?
- Nah, I'm a crazy Google fan. :D
- By the way, to get rid of a localized search, please visit this page once and forever you will be left in Google.com (until you eat your cookies). :)

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
