... it is a bright day in SEO then if Noticetrends makes sense.
just joking noticetrends, I just don't understand what you are talking
about it half the time. I suppose that it would be like most people
reading any of my ramblings, especially after I just come back from
fishing I can be a little delirious too.
Accessibility is in. What Els has been saying is a good thing to do.
Not one machine generated page in the results I checked. Not one. Every
result is a legitimate web page with content matching my searches.
Every one. I only played with it for 10 - 12 searches but it is just
like MSN, but better. The same return returned, 700k results in one
770k in the other instead of 2.2M like the regular Google.
Scrap the old SE and stick in that accessible one at the helm would be
just fine with me.
