linking is the new black

ok i’m going to do this to see if these pages get ranked higher after i turn them into a link, like fitting a fat chick into the little block dress:

Burgers and Cupcakes
Popover Cafa(C)
Nyu Downtown Hospital
Daniel
Big Wong
Dojo West
Il Mulino – Miami
Sweet Georgia Brown – Detroit
Cafe Brioche

3/8/2007 @ 9pm One of the more communally interesting topics of the night was “Google is retarding internet development”. (I’m sure you’re like “WTF”.) The foundation of the statement is based on google page ranking, noone knows exactly what it is, but you can inference some idea with all the SEO advice out there (go ahead and google/YTB that). For folks that aren’t neck deep in a computer science algorithms course or silicon valley round the factors of determining page rank to one – which is the number of links to the page they are watching. We discussed javascript, flash and other video boxed content living in a page with only ONE url to point to. The claim is that if there is only one destination, google will rank only one page of that oh-so-interesting site. Compared to old school technologically-challenged sites that have more pages or subdomains (my.website.com or his.website.com), the one amazing flash site will probably rank lower because they don’t have the multiple end points that google can use to sum, average, and rank that site higher.

“But that is what INTER-NET is, a web of pages/links”.

“But now i can’t make rich UIs and interactive goodness because i’m going to be penalized in the eyes of OMNIGOOG…”.

“So make some html!”

“But I like the one (page) stop shop!”

These people are famous internet using, customer/user loving, salt of the earth type folks and they’re fighting over static vs. dynamic site addresses! Lofty conclusions are simple

Search Engines need even better ways of extracting relevant information on websites

  • they can probably do that with site registration and have read access to site code
  • develop fancy ways of user interaction tracking instead of just click-through tracking
  • allow user input to rank pages, for all pages using comment or digg-toggle voting
  • all this on top of page inlinks. Just because we’re still not forward compatible yet, we still shouldn’t forget to be backwards compatible.

ugh.
