Did Steve Jobs personally send you your $100 Apple Credit for paying full price for the iPhone? :)

If you have a dedicated site to cats, or even a passing comment (such as I have) you run the list of being dropped from thier search engines!

The old email address is apparently out of business or will be soon, and you need to go through the online form.

Unfortunately, he doesn’t address the collateral damage caused by some of their more aggressive filtering practices, or the possibility that following Google’s webmaster guidelines on redirects can do more harm than good.

They release recently the Google Search Book a powerfull search engine for searching books on the internet. Also they launch a search engine offline. It’s name it’s Google Base and much more companies the appeal on this search engine offline to increase their bussiness. So don’t be surprised if Google will attack Microsoft and will create an online operating system(a joke of course):).

E.g. I was looking for troubleshooting information about a printer yesterday
and had to refine my search 5 times before I got any relevant information.

1st refinement added -prices
2nd refinement added -supplies
3rd refinement added -compare
4th refinement added -toner
5th refinement added -’imaging cartridge’

Even then the sponsored links all included these items.

All these things could be filtered by removing shops from my search target.

If I could do an information only search or a shops only search when
necessary things would be so much easier.

Is this something that is in the pipeline or maybe you could give me an idea of the reasons behind why it isn’t.

I don’t understand your comment about the Google directory. It might be that I don’t understand the supplemental index or how you can tell what’s what.

OT I really like this blog. I find it interesting that folks use it as a forum but I guess I’m contributing to it.

Thanks for the links and a BIG THANKS to Google for this option. I hope the other SE’s honor this as well. To me it was a HUGE competitive disadvantage to see obsolete site titles and descriptions (From DMOZ) appear on our listing next to what appeared to be more relevant and up to date titles and descriptions of other sites appearing in SERPs.

What would happen to the directory.google.com listings which had this tag on their sites? Would they still use the DMOZ titles and descriptions or would they use the on-the-page titles and descriptions?

Great idea, though. Friends don’t let friends use DMOZ.
