I’m pleased to see that the term MEGO is being recycled for the computer age. In the distant, non-technical past, MEGO was used by print editors
as a shorthand way to tell reporters “This writing is sleep-inducing”.

Thanks for the post.

I’ll need to keep that in mind when I switch to new host (which shouldn’t be too much of a problem).

The Fonz, I wa affected with the same unability to report those bugs! They are not a bunch of kids anymore, but looks like habit is just habit!

Hi Matt and happy new year

I got the same problem than reported in Graywolf’s post for web sites I manage – won’t say the names to respect comment policy

The differences are:
1 – they don’t have the same ip address (but they share the same ip net range and are in the same physical servers even with same root).
2 – they run on IIS

I don’t ask you to look at my particular problem but if you could answer some of my questions – that may be interesting for other people – would be really appreciated:
1 – you said in your post that your crawl/index team was able to reproduce the bug using only telnet: could you post the command used so we can repro?
2 – is this kind of problem could have a negative impact on our sites SERPs or even worse could lead to a spam penalty?

Thanks for your blog

Jerome

There is _still_ no formal, offical, and supported method of reporting bugs to Google.

I have found four replicable bugs in Google software and there is no reporting mechanism for me to share them and have them fixed.

This would be expected if Google was two college kids in a garage, but this behavior from a major multinational public company which is supposed to know something about IT it is a complete embarassment.

Yes Googlebot is the smartest of them all. I don’t think any of the other search engines will ever win the market
Thanks for posting, Matt

Wow… Pretty amazing stuff. Sounds like GoogleBot has got crawling ethics figured out. Would be nice if the other engines would ’step it up’

Absolutely right, Ian. I’d recommend upgrading Apache 10 times before turning off persistent connections. I was under the impression that the Apache in question was 1.3.7, but I’m not sure.
