Nice OP, and Happy New Years to all.


Last thread someone mentioned that googling Howard Stern doesn't put his website first and therefore Howard is not the King of All Media.

I immediatley thought that is not Howard's problem, that is Google's problem. I didn't want to post to be my usual bitch self, but today I came across a pair of articles discussing the problems of Google.

I just thought I would share that this is a known problem with Google.

If you search for Howard on Bing, his site is the first link. Same with blekko

Welcome to my world as an SEO and trying to explain to clients as to why their SERP rankings have dropped! Don't Be Evil, my rear end.

Doesn't this make you the cause of the problem?

other sites would actually want to post links to his site. The more sites linking in, the higher your page rank is.

This is the Google problem. When you search for Howard Stern, why would anything but howardstern.com come first?

This algorithm of linking to content is causing the problem.

Interestingly, none of the sites that come ahead of him on Google are link farms - it's Wikipedia and an article about him on mtv.com.

I know a bit about SEO, but barely enough to be intelligible - wouldn't some fine tuning on their part increase their ranking? Google's got specific algorithms for how they figure out rankings, right?

Wikipedia would be considered a content farm.

Gaming the google system to get your web site higher defeats the purpose of a search engine. Google is not that good anymore. You just did your own test search. Do the same thing on the other search engines.

Well, the monitor in the picture isn't a touch screen monitor, so unless it's mirroring another monitor somewhere else that IS touch screen, I'd say they're using the mouse.

It's a functional thing but not exactly pretty. It does make stuff easy to find. "Gary Preview page 1 in red" or "JD page 4 in green" or whatever would be easy to find with the combination of drop-downs and large, easily-read buttons.

My guess is that they're so big because everyone on the show is over 50 and has problems reading up close.

They need to learn to name things by purpose or function, not creator.

On the technology tip, here is a quote from the howardstern.com rundown of Monday's show:


Uhhh, right. Here, buddy, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=palin+target+map . So apparently whoever is writing the rundowns is a bit of a dunce as well.

I don't understand what you are saying here.

Meh, whateva. It could be read a couple different ways, but rather than quibble over semantics, I'll just concede that I probably am reading too much into it and blame it on the writer for not phrasing it more effectively. Who cares.

I don't watch those ridiculous shows, but she seemed sane and reasonable, despite revealing a few things about her ex-husband that she probably shouldn't have.

She is insane. (for the normal rich ladies these shows have)

The entire major drama of the series is that she thinks one of the wives said "why would anyone want you without Kelsey?"

Of course fight after fight occur and you find out that Kelsey doesn't want her.

The show is called "HOUSEWIVES." Why the gently caress would anyone want any of them without their respective husbands? It's loving bewildering that these women believe they accomplished something by spreading their legs. That's why I don't watch these shows.

I am like Howard on this one, any show where people are screaming at each other is great.

One thing about this one, most of them don't seem to live in Beverly Hills and at least 1 of them is not married.

I am surprised Howard has not found Basketball wives where there most insane women act like they are in high school. I think this one is heavily scripted.

The other great one is Bad Girls club. This show is just women screaming at each other and you can barely figure out why. I gave up on this one, gave me a headache.

When the Jets played the Steelers and lost, Gary said the weirdest thing about how 'it wasn't uncomfortable' coming in the following day to congratulate John Hein.

John Hein or Gary do not play professional sports. Why would either congratulate the other on anything? Because they buy tickets and clothing with a teams logo on it? I'm a fan of MMA but even I don't take it that far.

Sal is the worst type of person when it comes to sports; the guy who never watches them or has a favorite team, yet always talks tons of poo poo whenever somebody else's team loses. The guy who never makes any kind of prediction about the outcome of any event but loves to gloat whenever somebody else loses a bet, as if he had picked the game correctly. I realize that Sal busts balls for a living, but there's really a person like this at every workplace.

They are picking on My Favorite worst type of person, the sports nut.

People think that being a fan of a sport is a skill and that having ESPN has made them better at it then others.

I love the TVIV thread about The SportsDome. The sports fan is laughing at the ESPN parody while the non-sports fan is laughing at the sports fan who watches ESPN.
