"To reach the goal of making technology truly suited for humans, the

the next 20 years. The sooner their training begins, the better off
we'll all be."

Three Ways to Improve External Search Engine Usability
http://www.digital-web.com/tutorials/tutorial_2002-07.shtml

"Most diligent webmasters spend time on log analysis, analyzing
server logs to determine where visitors are coming from, which pages
they're viewing, how long they're staying, and other significant
demographic and technical information. One of the most important
details that logs show is which search engines visitors use to get to
the site, and which search terms visitors enter. Checking this
information is an extremely useful, fascinating, and almost
voyeuristic endeavor that has become a hobby in and of itself"
