Not from a search engine stand-point, although there is a theory that .gov or .edu (both unavailable to the general public) might get some sort of credibility boost.

On the other hand, people...

It is apparent to me that English is not your native language, and I do apologize for not being able to understand you.

Phil, I asked you twice because you have yet to demonstrate that you understand what it is about, much less how it works.

You continue to get the facts wrong, Phil.

Again, I ask you to do an iteration of PageRank (I mean, plug the numbers into the formula, and crank out some results).

You can do it with 3 pages, 5, or...

I wish.



Google will use a description meta tag in its search results listing if it cannot find anything else on a page that seems relevant to a query.

I'm not sure of what MSN is doing (if...

Nothing could be farther from the truth, Phil.

But feel free to quote Google (in proper context). I'd like to see that.

Sorry. You wrote you did NOT have 1x1 images, but that you had white images with alt= text.
