Looks like we have to optimise for something else!!


Microsoft Unveils BrowseRank, Google Feels a Draft Microsoft recently unveiled the details of BrowseRank its new browsing algorithm meant to compete with and eventually outperform Google s PageRank. Instead of measuring the links to and from a specific page BrowseRank calculates how often users visit the site and for how long. Microsoft feels this will give Internet users and not web developers more control over page relevancy thus leading to a freer more democratic Internet....

hehe I did expect this!!

How will they get those traffic stats though?

[fascinatingAngel]

Well any more details about this.....?

but I think Google pagerank won't be threaten about this ....

I think this algo can be easily manipulated by most hackers. They can easily make a bot that will querry a website for a certain period of time..

Not really, Analytics works off unique and page views. You can have 20,000 page views from clicking all of your site and refreshing while only getting one unique...

Google won't take heat from this, and it won't be manipulated by hackers on the fact that even with millions of queries the browserank tool looks for uniques...
