LL should just replace that blog post with a link to Phil Deakins' thread.

True. Many comments mention it though ... and we know that several Lindens read Blog comments. . Ohh I think they know all about it, but want to pretend like its not an issue. |

I don't think the Search is really smart enough to look for "swimming pools" rather than just swim swimming pool pools.

Seems they were led to believe that was the case by Google... LL should just replace that blog post with a link to Phil Deakins' thread. Absolutely. While I'm not 100% convinced about how much impact Landmarks have, that thread has been invaluable. Since I started seriously implementing the suggestions in there about a week ago, I've got up to page 4/5 (from nowhere) for "Rental", which has some strong competition in there. I reckon I could get a few pages higher if I persuaded a few more people to include picks. _____________________

Comments are still open on the blog, someone should post a link to that thread. I would, but I'm not sure which it is.

So.....
If everyone did what was needed to maximize their search ranking it would all sort of cancel out, right? _____________________

Not to pick on Jeska, but they've had this thing running for what, 6 months? And nobody has actually checked to see if features like that work as advertised? Ugh. I got a chuckle out of "Cloaking Sucks" too. Nowhere do they state that it doesn't work (seems to work great if the sheer volume of places that use it is any indicator) nor that it is against the rules (and this was confirmed in the comments; it is indeed not against the rules). It just sucks. Just say no. Cloaks are bad mmk? Yeah right. _____________________

They won't cancel themselves out - the ones that get more picks will rise to the top. And the tiebreaker will go to whoever has more traffic.
