If you're constantly glued to your logs, rank checks and website monitoring tools, and confused by what you see happening in Google, this article by Phil Craven may help. He explains everything in easy terms, so that even *I* understood it!

Narrow it Down
Getting some notice is a nicely organized search engine/directory Directory resource called ISEDB.com, Internet Search Engines Database
I visited there and was impressed with the ease of use, clean layout, friendly content and organization of what is, and will be, a lot of information. I like websites that allow me to find something from smaller databases, such as theme oriented directories, because they are less likely to return back junk page clutter. The sites are reviewed by people before being added. This website offers such a place for productive searching.

Yahoo! Acquires Inktomi
Google in shock.
Click on >>> Press Release
Click here >>> for Cre8asiteForum Discussion on this.
Click here >>> for Webmasterworld Discussion Discussion on this.
Seriously, I went back to Peter Da Vanzo's recent interview with Kenneth Norton, Director of Marketing and Product Strategy for Inktomi Web Search for hints on what we can expect.
SearchEngineBlog Interview
Quote:
"We sense that the next few years in search are going to be driven by a better understanding of users, their intent, their objectives, their context and the tasks they are hoping to accomplish. So while crawlers and algorithms continue to be essential, understanding the user will involve a human element to search. We're still in the very early days of this, but you can already see some features in Web Search 9 that are a step in this direction, such as Smart Summaries.
Any other initiatives are in the pipeline?
On the business side, we're aggressively pursuing new distribution partners as we continue to change the economics of search with our paid inclusion programs. On the product side, Inktomi Web Search 9 was the culmination of a year's effort to regain our leadership position in algorithmic search - the next initiatives underway are focused on changing the game through user intent and context."
End Quote.
So. What is Web Search 9?

Not Your Usual Conversation
Cre8asiteForums was launched in August 2002 and has already been recommended and pointed to by many of the top SEO and Web Dev sites on the 'Net. We're still developing it's character, but so far, it's obvious to everyone that it holds within it "something different" that many people find appealing. It IS funny there. It does let people launch into hot debates and allows freedom of expression (within acceptable ethical constraints of course.) The backgrounds of the moderators are quite varied, so you don't get a "Do it my way or no way" lecture.
It's free. You can trust us. One subscriber had personal reasons for not sharing their URL publically but still wanted help with their website. They were able to do so at Cre8asiteForums because members found a way to help. A General Chat area was launched because of a member suggestion. What else would you like to see there? Please tell us what you think of the forums (feedback is a huge help and gauge for weighing furture enhancements or making corrections to procedures). You can privately PM any moderator, or make your wishes/thoughts known in the General Chat section.
Happy Holidays!

My First User Persona
To hire Cooper to create personas can be costly. I worked for a company who did and I've seen their work. It's quite impressive. Now, on my own as a consultant, I wanted to learn more about them by actually creating them myself and applying them to my own work. I would have to devise my own version, without the resources Cooper has. My biggest resource was my own imagination. Armed with everything I could possibly read on the subject, I applied a user persona on a project for a client who wanted to rebuild their existing website. I knew the business and some functional specifications for their website. They had little usable demographic data on their users, so I made up one persona and acted out my role as a web user behaving as the user persona I created. It was very interesting!

Alone, but not lonely
Seems as though some of my daily SEO bookmark stops are off until January. I wish Chris Ridings (http://www.supportforums.org/), Kalena Jordan (http://www.high-search-engine-ranking.com/search_engine_news_blog.htm) and Peter Da Vanzo (http://searchengineblog.com/) a delightful, loving holiday season and envy their chance to rest.
I'll be around all through the holidays, and so will Cre8asiteForums (http://www.cre8asiteforums.com/) and Cre8pc.com (http://www.cre8pc.com/) .
Somebody has to hold down the fort for heaven's sake!
