Quote: "For anyone that used Google Adwords the last few weeks have been very frustrating with the stats indicating no impressions or clicks or cost one minute and then showing tons of traffic the next."
Will add more later...it snowed a lot, everything is closed and I have to shovel and play!

Cloaking Peace Pipe...Still more attempts to make peace between cloaking tribes is Danny Sullivan of SearchEngineWatch.com. He writes in Ending The Debate Over Cloaking "There's always someone who feels they have a situation that justifies doing something specifically for the search engines, rather than humans."
Still another reason to not renew your Directory listing...?Yahoo! wants to increase paid ads at the top of each page from 3 or 4 to about 10. Well, so much for finding your listing above the "fold" that you paid $200 a year for! Click on >>> Yahoo tests new search layout
DejaVu. If you just upgraded Opera to 7.0 last week, do it again. Grey Magic found errors, so now there's 7.01.
Way over my head...but maybe not yours, so here you go. It's called the Semantic Web SearchDay does a nice writeup on Semantic Web here - A Portal for the Semantic Web -
Quote: "Today, the web is largely a human-machine system. If you want something on the web, you must type an URL, open a bookmark, use a search engine, and so on.
The semantic web, by contrast, will enable meaningful machine-machine interactions. Berners-Lee envisions a future where everything on the web will both thoroughly defined, and linked in a way that significantly reduces the need for human intervention."

Another Peter...Peter Jennings, news anchor for ABC News, is my favorite newsman. I love his warmth and ability to remain cool under tremendous pressure. Turns out he has a Blog. Although it's not as hilarious and clever as Peter Da Vanzo's SearchEngineBlog, Peter J's is informative and well written. And I can get my daily fix for evening news when I don't have time to turn on a TV or Radio (which is often the case.) Click on >>> Jennings Journal
Yesterday Kalena Jordan of SearchEngineNewsBlog (and http://www.high-search-engine-ranking.com/) caught my online matchmaking remarks and responded with a positive story of her own. Turns out she met her husband online! Then she pointed out a website that shares success stories, Internet Love Stories. So, even though everybody I met looked 20 years older in real life than the picture they sent me, and were 3 inches smaller than what they said they were, (not saying where that deficit was!), I do know meeting people online can lead to love. Sometimes it even lasts.
We're Not Finished Fighting Yet...Yet another great read on Cloaking this week, continued from the fervor last week when WMW's Brett Tabke came out to discuss his views, while Jill Whalen ran what became a controversial article from Alan Perkins on the matter in her newsletter. The top SEO forums erupted in cloaking ethics and definitions wars. This piece features stealth technology expert, Fantomaster. Click on >>> Fantomaster's Perspective on Cloaking, Deception, Search Engines, & SEO. Quote: "I think it's pointless to pursue these debates on a moral or "ethical" stance: what it all boils down to in the end is that what works will be used, what doesn't will be chucked."
And lastly. Put this in your search engine pipe and smoke it. Toilet Paper Algorithms

So What Is Cloaking Again?...The uses for and meanings for the word "Cloaking" are conflicting, and the fear of getting either of them wrong can be stressful. Cre8asiteForums found itself in such a boat-ride and hammered it out here >>>> Cloaking Revisited
Interview With An Ant...JoeAnt, the search engine, is based on anthills, Go Guides, picnics and volunteer scouts. Don't believe me? Click on >>> JoeAnt Creates a New Volunteer Culture
The heck with Advertising targeting needs. This knowledge would help keyword bid-based directories. Click on >>> Hey - bet you'll like this Quote: "Software companies like Los Angeles-based Applied Semantics are tackling this problem by building up huge databases of words or phrases and their relationships to each other using computerised knowledge bases and a team of lexicographers and computational linguists."
And lastly...Internet news media has released several articles this week on online dating. There was even a long writeup in my local newspaper this weekend. While I know several couples who met online, and some of my dearest friendships were made on the Web, the online dating life sucked. They saw my picture, figured I was a Sex Goddess and to make a long story dumber, there was absolutely no difference between sitting in a bar and sitting in front of my PC, except in the bar my hands were free. Ha Ha.
