vava Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 What I think Mosjan wanted to say, is that most of the material he has posted on that website is from sources that are either dubious, (like Weems for example) and/or Turkish funded "scholars". If you read the exchanges that this person has had with Domino at Wikipedia, you can see that most of his arguments have been addressed, and/or are baseless. So don't worry about web sites like that - they are not our worst enemy when it comes to Genocide recognition. About posting links - if the links point to material that hateful, obscene or false (as in this case) we will edit/delete them. If you have a site that is contentious but would like readers to visit, we ask that you place the URL in "CODE" tags like this: http://www. insertURLhere.com That way people can copy & paste the URL, but it won't increase their search engine rankings.

skhara Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 That way people can copy & paste the URL, but it won't increase their search engine rankings. Can you explain this please? What are "search engine rankings" and how are they increased? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rostom Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 (edited) Can you explain this please? What are "search engine rankings" and how are they increased? Search engines (Google, Yahoo, etc.) use dozens of different factors to determine how to rank websites--that is, what order websites display in when you do a search. One of these determing factors is how many places a website is linked from (i.e. links found on other web pages). What Vava is implying is that if you use the Link option of this board's editor to post a link, then when the search engine's spider comes around it will pickup that link and in a way give an additional point to the ranking of that site. Thus, causing the site to possibly be listed further up in the search results when someone does a search for the word "Armenian" for example. Whereas if you use the Code option of the editor, search engine spider's do not consider that a link as it is not an anchor link (A HREF in the html terminology).

vava Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Man - sorry Skhara - I just saw your question - Rostom is right. Furthermore, search engines have algorythms that calculate the 'importance' or relevance of links (and the keywords) bringing traffic to a site. Ex. if you have a site that is highly ranked for the keywords "george bush", and you create thousands of sites that link to it using the keyword (or text within the A HREF tag) "madman", the search engines will deem that searches for "madman" should also include "george bush" - increased relevance. Ideally, for content that is not beneficial (read: relevant) to Armenian issues, we should definitely NOT link directly to avoid artificially boosting traffic/rankings.
