    Interesting... I noticed today too that the page is not a 404. But, that same domain is still number one above the real McHenry Harley Davidson, with a new page... little more content this time around...

    http://www.biginfoguide.com/harley/

    Looks like they just shortened the URL to the directory level with a default page.

    Makes you wonder...

    The longer URL was banned. Trust.

    I think that's an end-user problem (in this particular case). If the guy writing the article knew how to search he would have found his answer immediately. I did the search of:

    +"-5000 error" +retrospect

    and got VERY relevant results right up front. In the old days and apparently still a "-" means not. So his search was for a page that contains the word Error and not the word 5000 and that's exactly what he got. I came up with and tried my search before I read the rest of his article.

    Just before he shows his first search result he says "-5000 error" But then searches WITHOUT the quotes. Bad move since using the quotes would have got him a LOT closer.

    This assumes that the average internet user knows anything about the use of quotations and other advanced search features. My guess would be that they do not.

    True, back in the "old days" a lot more of us did. They do have a help section, though....

    I actually feel good knowing Adsense employees are on this board... at least we have some sort of informal communication with them!

    I really hate crappy MFA sites like these.


    There's a limit that just shouldn't be crossed for the good of the community.

    Well that is perfect then, because the Woodstock HD owns the McHenry HD.

    That blog post made no sense, they don't even know how to search on Google.
    i just left a comment:
    "put "-5000 error" in quotes. that's all you have to do...

    using a - if you don't have quotes tells google to AVOID all results with whatever immediately follows the - .. so in your case, no results with 5000 would appear.

    that's google 101 buddy."

    DP 101 starts with reading the entire thread before saying the same thing someone else already did. ;)
