” Michael Jackson’s Death Sends Search Engine Traffic Through the Roof ” – –

Then wouldn’t it make sense to start a Michael Jackson Search Engine as a tribute to the Man, His Music and more ?

So that’s what I did.

Your thoughts, please.

All the comments in defense of the listing of a Wikipedia page or in defense of Google here are soooo off mark and it shows that the people leaving such comments are lacking a true understanding of the issues.

The concept of referencing Wikipedia as a top result is just wrong.

The fact that this happened because more than one person has the name Michael Jackson also confirms this.

The Wikipedia page on the writer long since dead is NOT an authority page on someone named Michael Jackson. It’s not a comprehensive site devoted to any man by that name. It’s not an official Michael Jackson optimized site at all. It’s just one page. A rather spammy page at that when you analyze the depth of content.

The only reason this came up in the Google system is because of Google’s flawed algorithm.

Wikipedia is a huge site with over 31 million pages and over 60,000 inbound links to the site. That combination is the primary criteria that allows Google to consider it an “authority” site. And that’s crap thinking at its finest because it has no capacity for determining true QUALITY or ACCURACY.

Not long ago it was also discovered that Google has been including Wikipedia pages in it’s News system, not just in general results. That’s crazy. Kind of like the engineers there may even be on Crack. Oh. Wait. Where have I heard that before?

Loren, your’s is an appeal to popularity. Michael the writer was arguably more important. Freaks should be shunned.
