David,
It seems logical to me that delivering a 404 to the bot would
eventually get the page removed from cache. Does anyone know if this is
the case?
Roy,
The meta tag link you provided showed the examples of the tags in all
upper case. Do you know if it makes a difference whether the tags are
upper or lower case?
BB,
I don't think Google would sell the info they collect directly. It's my
bet that they are farming the information to offer advertisers more
targeted clients. (At a premium price of course)
What truly baffles me is that all Google has to do offer some wacky
feature and people flock to sign up for the latest spyware Google is
offering. But I digress. I'm not a big fan of Google but since they
hold the cards right now, I have to play the game.
Rik
