Is it a grandiose scheme to build a massive graph that can help convert a search engine into a knowledge engine? When authorship launched, it seemed to support my theory that Google+ was more an identity platform than a social media venture.
These "bad neighborhoods" can be "extracted" by Google, analyzed and dumped relatively easily to leave a graph that looks a little like this: The link graph is a kind of network graph and is made up of a series of "nodes" or clusters.
That came from its attempts to clean up the link graph of spammy links to enable the search giant to compete in semantic search, with the likes of Wolfram|Alpha and Apple. Knowing this works they then simply hit more people with more updates in a...
Google’s problem in competing in this space is the existing link graph. In many ways we're on the cusp of an entirely new world where, rather than managing information, Google manages knowledge (see their recent announcements on the Knowledge Graph...
This tool gives top level information about your site's (or a competitor's) link graph. In the real world, you might be working with a site which is weighted far over to the left of the graph. Whether or not you go the whole hog to identify a...
Google is reportedly testing a new feature in the Knowledge Graph sidebar: the ability for users to find out more about the topic and suggested results. It is interesting, however, to see what they might have in mind for Knowledge Graph.
This could include the timeline graph, if the report you are viewing has one at the top of the page. Analytics dashboards seem to be one of those things that everyone thinks is great in theory. They should reduce reporting needs and help us make...
It's got to be either something technical, something safe search related, or something that happened to their link graph. He agreed that the theory on Google’s “official” page change could be correct.
Above shows just how Facebook can visually graph your friends and your relationships. It seems kind of like nuclear power – nice in theory, but the risk is too high. So in theory you may always be somewhat anonymous to third parties.
However, in order to explain this concept I needed to also explain a little more about network theory and the connectivity, or graph structure, of the web. As a marketer and not a physicist involved in network theory or a scientist involved in...
In this case each unit being 1 standard deviation shows you that although the average is 0 every unit up the axis the graph goes is an extra “usual” amount of fluctuation. This ugly piece of non-scientific theory still rears its head today.
The interface got quite a few 'wows' from the audience and I would say that this the first time I would ever use the word 'mesmerising' to describe an analytics product - it is kind of 'alive' with a scatter graph of pulsing dots, representing...
The argument for why social sharing measures, such as Twitter retweets and Facebook 'Likes' should form the basis of the social graph is part of the thesis that linking no longer carries the voting power it once did because it is too easily...
Facebook is losing access to Gmail data due to a change in Google's term of services, but really because Facebook won't share its social graph data with Google. The Google Holiday Update Conspiracy Theory - Michael Gray
PageRank via links used to be the social graph of Google. A link equity passing URL shortener to use in social networks would, in theory, restore the ability to index the web socially, as first intended.
Reached by Christopher Heine from ClickZ, Facebook spokeswoman Malorie Lucich, said the search results are determined by whether or not a user or his friends have tapped a Like button for a branded Web page on a site that's fully integrated...
As I wrote two weeks ago, the nofollow attribute began life as a tool to remove untrusted links from a site's link graph. Scenario 2: The Competitive Advantage Theory Scenario 3: The Conspiracy Theory
Their one year graph shows MySpace on the decline with Craigslist and Facebook on a parallel rise: Meanwhile, eBay is driving the most traffic from paid search listings in the U.S. The theory here is that the spacing will make the url more relevant...
Here's a graph of the growth in the number of conversions over the 30-day duration of the test: We've just finalized a test of the theory, and the results exceeded our expectations. I recently described a bidding strategy for non-text content ads...
Nofollow Killed Google Social Graph API 3 Years Ago, Andy Beard SEW Experts: Rewriting URLs: SEO for CMS, E-Commerce, and Dynamic SitesThere's as much confusion and controversy surrounding URL rewriting as Darwin's theory of evolution.
