Google Algorithm Update Explained



Code:
def map_sites(domain, site): yield domain, site.points
def reduce_and_fuck_with_ezines(domain, rankings):
  if 'ezine' in domain: rankings += [-15,]
  yield domain, sum(rankings)
runs in parallel and has the added benefit (???) of not decrementing the site's worth by an addtl 15 every time the function is run (because the initial value is immutable)

ehow did not take a hit, which is fucking hilarious given how they are a huge reason this conversation started.

Looking at that list (and that ehow isnt on it) i'd say the penalty is mostly about duplicate content (wise geek and ezine are huge here) and content to ad ratios (same). That doesn't explain mahalo though. Mahalo also has better content than ehow by a landslide, so its difficult to understand how ehow escaped this, unless someone is getting paid off and the algorithm was tweaked specially to affect their competitors.

So long as ehow is running google ads, there is also a huge conflict of interest here.
 
do it in Microsod Basic

VAR site1
VAR site2
VAR rank1
VAR decr1
LET site2 = "ezines.com"
LET decr1 = -15
FETCH hiddensystemiostream->openstream.callback.#func('sitename') INTO site1
FETCH hiddensystemiostream->openstream.callback.#func('sitename'.rankingval) INTO rank1
IF LENGTH(site1) <> 0
IF site1 = site2
LET rank1 = rank1 - decr1
ELSE
hiddensystempoke->bootsector(99) ' reboot
END IF
ELSE
hiddensystempoke->bootsector(98) ' bluescreen of death
END IF



or you could do it in PHP

$site=="ezine.com"?rank-=15:;

Holy hell BASIC, is the gayest language in the entire world, just another reason why I hate almost everything Microsoft.
 
Ok, without looking it up on php.net or googling it...who actually knows the difference between:

== and ===

or similarly

!= and !==

PHP doesn't have explicit types. Therefore what does 'False' (a string) equal? Depends what you mean by equal ;) (=== vs ==)

A massive mess in the name of "accessability" for poor coders IMO.
