Google Makes NO Bloody Sense

I just don’t get Google’s thinking: First they tell you ‘use nofollow’ then they discount thousands of links for any of a hundred reasons even when they are legitimate votes. It seems that they are really trying to count only the votes they want to count, and not a single one more.

The trouble is: their definitions vary over time; and I really don’t get it. Yet there are dozens of searches I know of where the results aren’t useful at all, especially name searches which bring up dozens of irrelevant directories, etc…

According to Yahoo Site explorer, one of my sites has over 5000 inlinks, and yet Google only counts 2 links. 2 out of over 5000 links. The whole linking game for PR makes less and less sense over time, to me and to my searches.

Why? Why? Could it be that the Google machine is producing good results, but that the PR system is seriously broken.

Here is my rational: the whole link economy runs into billions of links, but if you discount 95% of them (in my case over 99%), then it follows that Google’s system is systematically becoming less democratic (was it ever?), less tolerant, and much more elitist than ever.

An example: John Chow’s site has 2,380 links in Google currently, but when you turn to Yahoo Site explorer (counting exclusive links), you will see over 230,000 links. In other words, even for John’s site, 98.94% of the links are discounted.

What this means is that once you lose 99% of the non-countable links, each link is somehow worth magically more PR points because the remaining links are considered elitist compared to the rest of the links thus junked. Doesn’t this exacerbate the link buying phenomenon even more?

Website Grader blends over 50 different variables, including search engine data, website structure, approximate traffic, site performance, and others, to evaluate the quality of a website, provide comparable data for other sites, and tips on how to improve yours.

I was intrigued so I decided to run a number of websites through the grading and came up with some interesting stuff.

johnchow grades

This report for JohnChow Dot Com graded his site at 99.6%. While this doesn’t really surprise me, for sites that score lower grades, a comparison can be quite instructive. So I ran my own blog through this site.

So the grade is a little lower, probably because of the fewer Diggs, fewer Bloglines accounts, and the fewer De.licio.us bookmarks. They do provide a download ebook so that you can pick up a few tips, I’m just reading it now. It’s always fun to rate your site and see how it measures, but really the whole blog thing is simply about how much traffic you get anyway. So don’t let this be another Blogging Dead End.
