I've read plenty on the co occurance and LSI stuff, and I know how they're implemented in the Adwords code to provide good results. It's just the details and debate in your original thread that gave me the headache. Man, there was a lot of deep material linked to and I read a lot of it. I wasn't making a crack or taking a shot at you with my comment - it's just Friday night and I can't handle getting into the whole debate again - my head might explode. The algorithm I use was something I created to track the progress of various optimization campaigns I'm running. I simply applied the data I gather in a different way to make a guess about what Google may or may not be doing. If someone were to take my post is gospel, then that says something about them, and not myself. I'm not sure what you mean by "stock market algo"; as I said, I use the application to track optimization campaigns. It stores data about keyword SERP values and that's pretty much it. The formula I created to gauge fluctuation rates was an obvious extension of that. The app is useless without reporting tools, and letting me know when the fluctuations have hit a certain frequency is incredibly useful to me. For example, if a keyword took a sudden hit, I can look at the fluctuations and if they're pretty steady then I know I've done something wrong on that campaign. If the fluctuations are erratic, then I know I can probably wait it out and the SERP value will return to it's previous position.
Bingo ..... I was a big LSA/I proponent for quite a while untill mid-2006 when I came across all the PaIR patents and started thinking that was the power behind the relevance changes not LSI as I had believed before. ..THEN... Bill recently fed me some more related stuff that put me back thinking about LSI in the RI ..... now? I am freakin lost. I am readin more from what was passed along to me and shall prolly change my mind once again.... &* ... it is never ending man.....
Oh and BTW, if I'm wrong, feel free to come rub my face in it on this thread. I love being wrong, it just makes me want to be right that much more. Okay, I'm going to go have a beer...
ditto... erm... except I live in a REAL small town these days ( left the Bright Lights, Big City).. so I only have to go to the kitchen... DOH....
You know what... I was going to say ...yes and i predict rain in the desert... But didnt 2 hours later..... Its now raining here in PHX I guess you just never know what can happen Good luck with your prediction ... laterz malcolm
Yeh who in the hell knows what their doing but looking at patents and the changes they make in adwords can give some one a very likely guess...oh and Im not complaining Im in the top ten
What are we talking about, LSI or algo change predictions? I'm seeing "it" growing, no idiea how far it may "go", but it's there. If it will be a big one, ore just the usual fluctations, time has to show.
