I got a kick out of seeing your command line sql piped into other unix commands for sorting, grouping, re-sorting, etc. You know in sql there are also some handy commands like group by, order by, having, etc. where you could have gotten the final results you were looking for ;) I'm in awe you can just whip out all those other commands to get what you want, but at the same time but I'm a sql zealot .. would have gone all SQL if it were me ;) Hehe.

OK. I’m impressed.

Should I tip my hat to you or an assistant.

Be honest now. The world is watching.

And even if it wasn't the case in the direct sense, it may increase your traffic simply because people can access it. So there's a non-SE reason to do so as well. You’d be surprised, Aaron.

I understand that google really hates duplicate content, but more and more you see google search affiliate result pages reindexed in the google results , in a way , google has been indexing his own results ... and displays them when searching examples ? search for - site:google.startsiden.no news - http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2005-08,GGLD:en&q=site%3Agoogle%2Estartsiden%2Eno+news I reported this to google in the normal webmaster feedback forms some months ago but got a standard reaction ... read the faq is there a special "keyword" to get these sites routed to the right support people ? Matt , what should one do with this ?

I will spam some other forums to try to get an answer, no luck with google on this so far, must be some sort of secret that Matt can not respond too, oh well, it never hurts to try.

Maybe your problem is that you're on a bad host and Google had trouble reaching it too. To the two Knowledge Finder guys:

Let me clarify for Peter (and let me also mention that Peter is a long time defender of google and has had many fights in seo forums because of his support, was even let go as a moderator (too much information sorry)

We met at PubCon in Vegas and had a nice discussion in a small group at the hotel one night. I mentioned an add-on for Google Analytics users (of which I am one) I thought they might find very useful. Are you going to be at SES in Chicago? If so, I could show you a demo of the add-on/plug-in tool. You could review it and evaluate its potential utility for any and all Google Analytics users. Aaron should have all my contact info if you need it. (Tell him I said hello , by the way). Hello Matt,
