Explaining the MUM SEIS Numbers - Reviewing Your Competition Within the Ranks

Although I have never been a publisher/producer who focuses hard-core on pleasing any major (or even minor) search engine with my own presentations, combing through your competition in terms of search engine index ranking can certainly provide a plethora of performances to review at one's leisure. 

The term "mega" originally began its travels upwards as a descriptive term implying largness/greatness and has held a powerhouse position for quite a few years prior to the dash to take Kim Dot Com to a courtroom hit the news circuitry.  So when the whole world was notified of the Mega Downloads world-wide take down via the news circuitry, I had taken an additional gamble on someday revisiting the stats I posted with a bigger chunk of time having passed.  I knew there would be sweeping shifts of rankings for all those who had held the term "mega" as a central focus of their existence.  It was unavoidable, especially with the rates and ratios of comments and commentary being scribed on centralized networking and/or news sites.  So how could I possibly explain such an "I know it will happen" position (excluding all of the known and unknown variables ya da ya da ya)?  It's a happening happening every time someone interacts with a piece of hardware and many know these events to be best viewed in forms such as Top 10 Keyword clouds. 

And although these trends are artificially fluffed and puffed from who knows where and by how much, if a developer can't re-trace where the action is coming at any given moment, a developer's heart can drop just as fast as a Top 10 ranking all of a sudden disappearing from the roster.  Tempting as it can be for even me to contemplate wrapping up this awareness in a flash and flare designed only to distract and instead crediting such awareness to some mystical, invisible power, there are not many core secrets that go into web development.  The need for commonality and commond ground is absolute and total, even if it is only between an individual and their own self, two people or two million and once common ground is determined, wrap it up and send it out FTP.  Handshakes cannot occur without cooperation and despite commonality representing the more predictable, the amount of socializing via the airwaves at any given moment does not need to be an exact and precisely reported number, however the popularity of a site can overcome some measures of design that are otherwise considered uncooperative(?) with the objectives of a search engine algorithm.

So it's now been a while since the original event and despite the string count update I've included here, it occurred to me that although this blog content made perfect sense when I originally cobbled it together as a part of a collection, a visitor might not understand what exactly was being displayed in such a simple numeric styling recording the total number of registered entries of a particular string via multiple search engines.  It's basically a display of consumer research as it relates to the good and bad of an organization responsible for a search algorithm.

While pulling together another project regarding search engine optimization concepts (boy do I miss my fiction sometimes!), I decided to pull together a different kind of custom index than what I have designed in the past.  In believing I am not the only one frequently disappointed with a choice to click on a site thinking the site will have content able to leave the searcher satisfied they visited, the string I was dealing with was top-heavy in the entertainment field...

The dollars and sense that goes into using the Internet for promotion of entertainment materials is not only a game-changer in terms of popularity in the indexes, but this type of popularity does seem to still translate into mega bucks for a large group of people to dream about...but never to touch.

Therefore, I thought it would help the numeric tracking I have posted here if I was to go ahead and offer up a similar hand-crafted index of elements of the term "mega" since the content on my site may very well have nothing to do with what you are looking for.  Many times one product will take over tens, if not hundreds or thousands, of entries in an index due to the sites hosting the content and scream if one must at any search engine for poor algorithm management when saturation happens, but it is not entirely up to a search engine to decide who has a right to host content and who does not.

This is part of why I have held a fairly unpopular position with some in the tech sector since I tend to refuse to design a site with any corporate search engine rules and guidelines in mind since having a site recognized by an index is a secondary event, not a primary.  The primary event is the interaction between an end-user and the site itself, not the interaction between an end-user first interacting with the summaries offered by any search index.  The public search indexes are just tools to aid publishers in attracting audience members that otherwise would not have found such content, sort of like a combo pack like in phone books.

It was my curiosity born from the other project that led me to develop this particular page to help those who found my site while looking for different "mega" content.  If you are looking to better understand what goes into any individual marketing strategy online, you have to think of this list as your competition and that it is your job to rise above the content providers listed below.  As this side of the science is constantly in motion, being able to perform a simple sort and separate of active participants does not provide precision details surrounding the 5 w's and the h of the site hosting the content, but it certainly can help determine whether or not someone wants to compete with the dollars already invested in content attached to each site.  This particular term is heavy with business and video games identities, which can signal a potential hard-core rise or fall in popularity through related activities pushing sites such as directories towards the top of the rankings, rather than single, solo content direct-connected to the identity.

This list also helps add potential explanation beyond any news surges causing any string at any time to rise and/or fall in the total index count for a word.  It also is an extremely short list despite the million plus entries with the word "mega" in it.  Hope this helps!  ***Items in this index have not been independently verified and validated as it relates to issues surrounding real or fake, false or true, etc.  *** The length of this blog entry may slow down computers with slow data connections.  Although I normally subscribe to a policy of keeping pages relatively short in scroll length, there is potential for more clarity and insight into the honest mechanics behind what causes any page to show up at any given moment in a position of relative credibility.  This is but a short list of any number and combination of possibilities as to what should be more likely to behaive and with what mannerisms. 

This is a highly competitive field with serious elements at stake and being able to evaluate the consumer side of these various products and services, especially in terms of credibility of content being cited as relevant and free of malicious behind-the-scene activities churning through the sites being recommended as something for someone to take a look at when they are searching for something.  Knowing the number of unique entries using a variety of generic identifiers such as what is used here can play a role in the decision making process of someone looking to participant in the search engine popularity race to rank well.

Will Anonymous Ever Achieve Formal Political Party Status

I know that my limited and unstructured educational path has shaped my comprehension of abstract references, but one in particular stands out amongst the spotlights being shined upon the concept of sustaining a level of identity disassociation, culturally referenced in the short form of Anonymous.

For years, it has been my understanding that to become a member of a political party, all one has to do is adopt such a classification and that’s that.  No registration required, no entry exams, no licensing necessary…one does not even need to exhibit behaviors that toe the party line for membership to be of official merit from a historical position.

With each political party inheriting a perpetual Recommended Reading Index – once passed along a straight and narrow distribution route, now produced sometimes in the millions, if not billions in certain cases – I find nothing to tether myself to while brain cells bounce around towards a theory that perhaps Anonymous has been a political party of its own clearly measurable standards and merits throughout the centuries.

Over the years, I have adjusted my understanding of “politics” to be geared more towards a state of mind, a position within the total mental accounting structure of another in which a conclusion has been drawn and therefore all future calculations will include such a position, which is only a belief born from a hefty dose of faith in ourselves that our senses did not somehow severely fail us somewhere in the past.

And despite my last paragraph perhaps appearing like a cryptic mess, there are few that are skilled and well-versed with interpreting what behaviors fall under the scope of political leanings relative to any other labeling option available to record that a behavior happened.

With Benjamin Franklin offering an example of someone applying anonymous activities for socio-political engineering purposes by adopting an illusionary identity as the source of the content, thereby disconnecting anyone from having opportunity to actively engage in debate with the author for what the content portrayed.

However, it is within the proposition there is a self-evident portion of our existence that provides a platform for historical juxti-positioning the performance of an act with a state of mind driven by a socio-political sense of purpose such as Franklin’s efforts to have his written word distributed entirely absent from the perceptions and perspectives that would otherwise be drawn had his name been signed at the bottom compared to the feminine airs the name suggested. 

Was his mind-set intentionally aligned with any existing political party identity while he wrote or did he temporary disassociate from all existing parties so he could temporarily join the Anonymous Party to accommodate his most intimate political linking tendencies?  What is the harm of a false signature in the face of such tarot-card type projections being present, right? 

Also, the assumption and subsequent assignment of economic damage of any kind for the act was delivered from figures holding government job titles, which makes it a political response to an alleged strike by a member of an earlier version of our modern day Anonymous Party, Mr. Benjamin Franklin.

With the power of hind-sight and historical oversight of such activities, mew information frequently can present opportunity for new decisions to be made…but for what purpose?  Whereas intentionally hitting the archives for something intentionally damning is of the more sinister horizon, it is the perpetual

Geography has never been a strong method of prevention political viewpoints and ideology from transporting itself from one location to another.  It’s been an active inhibitor and even with the web co-existing around us, it still poses an ability to lock down points of view from entering – or exiting – a potential position of state of mind influence…in any direction.

And although I am not skilled in communicating in the abstract, let alone recognizing it, it does not escape me that the current legacy being built associated to the Anonymous concept in many ways is no different from activities similar in nature being attached to existing political parties – including the off-spurt of the currently well-known Tea Party as a spur built amongst(?) the Republican branch.

This does not mean that a possible political party status for the moniker means all activities performed wearing such a label bear the markings of a reasonable threshold comparable to the Franklin publications or even the tea party.  Franklin didn’t release data that could directly harm the well-being of others on an individual identity basis and vehement and perhaps vitriolic as the original tea party was, the physical event course became centered around the destruction of tea leaves and what the loss would/could/should represent to those who learned of the event…

Neither of which posed the same individual risks now presented by those who continue to opt to adopt this more ghost-like explanation for their behaviors.  “I am not the one doing something wrong here.  I am only reporting of proof of something being wrong by showing how it is happening.” as a generic summary mind-set works no matter what century an act of disassociation of identity occurred.  Women frequently were forced to face the hurdle of whether or not they were willing to adopt a male persona in order to receive monetary compensation for their works and as Franklin demonstrated with his temporary gender swap, common social perceptions and perspectives trigger at-a-glance biases.  Where those biases fall is of contemplation when evaluating an event in a historical context, for such biases is the basis for a great many examples of where an identity alteration just doesn’t meet a reasonable threshold for justifying acts tipping towards the super extremes, which includes physical harm.

The concept of identity disassociation carries with it a thick library of materials providing means and methods of molding and modeling such acts and activities to typically be first filtered with a sense of flaw above and beyond all other conscious determinations, which is contrary to the current threshold of the general social acceptance of such acts to represent a reasonable and logical safety and security method when broadcasting via technology.  Nothing wrong with having a screen name with your legal name

So whether or not my inklings and hints towards Anonymous as more than just a simple political movement is accurate in a political scholar context, we are all equipped with the ability to sign our names as anything but our legal names.

It doesn’t seem to be in the opportunity itself that creates the ghostly facets of an anonymous state of mind being of a lurking shadow needing to be perpetually feared one and all.

It would seem to be more about what is manifested while such a state of mind has been adopted.

Think of it this way.  When was the last time you cared about the creator of a television commercial?  Sat through the entire credits list attached to a movie?  Read the full sleeve inserted into a musical CD?  We all tend to absorb a large quantity of content with Anonymous slapped all over it, so what makes certain anonymous situations more political than others stems more from what it represents to the rest of mankind.  But paying someone to strategically leak data about a pharmaceutical via a television screen is far different than leaking data attached to police department databases, let alone the government sectors and yes, even the private sectors.

It’s not often I remain uncertain of my own finish line when I sit down to write about something drifting around in my mind (even in the political realm) but this topic definitely has a certain kind of stopping power over my own intellect and interpretation of not just my own personal experiences, but what it is I absorb every time I hop around the web looking for some little slice of information to satisfy my own curiosity.

So for now, I guess its back to thoughts disassociated with acting in a relatively Anonymous manner…but I’m sure it will remain lurking around somewhere in this cavernous imagination of mine.

Content Transfer from the 2nd V Decision Tree - One Teeny Tiny Little Issue

***This entry was transferred from The 2nd V Decision Tree due to its content being more relevant to the 4th compared to the 2nd.  This was originally published January 23, 2012 entitled "One Teeny Tiny Little Issue With the MegaUpload Challenge."***

Since I know my writings have a reputation for receiving the TL,DR (Too Long, Didn't Read) stamp, I feel it important to take expand the title by first disclosing I have put one teeny tiny little issue with the MegaUpload Challenge somewhere within this teeny tiny post, although even I'm not exactly sure where it's at.  I wrote so many notes for this blog, I had to split the content into five separate parts.

Okay.  I am originally from the State of Illinois.  Most recently, the nation was given a glimpse into one of the more legendary legal landmarks for Illinois, that of a guilty verdict being passed down upon former Governor Rod Blagojevich.  Mixed reviews still remain a point of contention amongst those who choose to banter about such topics, including questions surrounding how he was elected not just once, but twice.

It is this kind of colorful, rich and diverse history of humanity that has been generated from within the pen-drawn boundaries representing Illinois  on a map that, at least for myself, these books and stories continue to provide rhyme and reason to remember that just because something (or someone) has been endorsed by a member of any community does not mean such an endorsement is untouchable and impervious to impeachment. 

Hence, my own teeny tiny paper tiger trail with virtually no knowledge of the evidence behind the lawsuit published and available in an online format.  This doesn't mean I haven't absorbed a great deal of unadulterated comment and conversation, rather there are other parallels above and beyond worth risking a little emotional heat being directed towards a suggestion I will make a little further on in the content.

In the meantime, Governor George Ryan and Governor Scott Walker are two more names that come to mind in terms of a guilty verdict being on the books and yet this is the same state that has been host to one of its favorite adopted sons, Abraham Lincoln.  Illinois records have a dash of Capone and a dose of Dillinger, along with long lists of protest upon protest for a variety of rights-related conflicts. ..most not performed in a courtroom setting and not designed for a judicial audience.

It's a state that has mandatory mental health screening being paid for by taxpayers to take a quick statistical sample from the youth of the state as to what their "mental health state" is when they are sat in front of a computer and asked a series of yes or no questions, while no clear recall mechanisms exist at the state level, let alone a local level. 

It still feels like there is virtually no one other than myself demanding these leaders to take the same tests the children in their community's are being demanded to take through legal mandate and I know there have been legal cases in other state's challenging the law, such as Illinois' neighbor to the right.

In fact, if you ever wonder where people end up extrapolating statistics such as "X number of people currently are undiagnosed for ADD or ODD and need medical treatment," don't doubt for a moment these mandatory mental health screening scores are being added to the mix, along with all of the gaming stats being generated, etc. 

And whether a pill or a pillow will "cure" the ADD or ODD statistical percentages showing up in reports, papers and marketing materials, Illinois continues to make movements towards shifting those with a label of reduced mental capacity to integrate these individuals into a more community-like setting while closing down the dedicated facilities designed at least on paper to employee individuals who went through a school system long enough and well enough to have a chance to make at least a living, if not a life-time career delivering what outsiders could reasonably classify as quality care. 

What this shift of American citizens will do emotionally to stock-holders in this particular industry is anyone's guess, but I still haven't forgotten what appeared to be raw feelings between government and the private sector in another state when government decided not to privatize the mental health community combined with awareness of how some patient's are more manufactured by the medical community rather than any real wiring issue of a biological and/or emotional circumstance.

Yes, no matter what the online stats might reflect at any given time, it has been my experience that Illinoisian's have never shied away from hot and heavy debates surrounding virtually any topic, trial or tribulation.  Battles, battles and more battles.  You want to see a copy of a municipal code book?  Get ready for a possible battle.  You want to see a copy of an invoice or contract?  Gear up for a long one and not necessarily a cool one, either.  You want to see a copy of board meeting minutes for the past 3 years?  Get ready to take on the colors of being a true enemy of Government.  My once again tossing out my pill versus pillow demonstration online?  I don't even have to be living in Illinois any more to effect at least a sigh from a few readers already sick and tired of being reminded that being tired is not always a signal someone is sick and in need of immediate medical interference and influence before any other option is considered.

But to those who are unfamiliar with my hand-crafted, keyboard enhanced contributions over the past 15 years or so, how does someone explain their own decision tree and how it works to an outsider is a topic well-familiar to those who have had direct exposure to the mental health instruction manuals floating around in their various versions.

(continued from Part II) So why I would find such a strong attachment to this latest effort to challenge an online structure on a legal versus illegal foundation all goes back to being so exposed to events in the history of the state of Illinois?

Just because a group of entertainers are associated with a group of business people, the product must therefore be nothing but credible and any assault upon the character of the product and the people backing the product is just plain nuts.  The music industry is not perfect by any means and payola shifting to Independent Whatever's and promotional items having the stamp of a brand or two explaining away the transference of a walkman or even a coffee mug.  Super-Pac.  'Nuff said, right?

After all, what could MegaUpload possibly have done to draw the ire of the Big G (not Google mind you, but the Government Big G association) with such public endorsements of the service, right?

With the SEC bringing about what at least on the surface appear to be house-keeping actions against the upper echelon of the private investment sector, why shouldn't the Fed's have equal opportunity to demand of someone to explain the existence of evidence...assuming the evidence isn't designed with a fix in mind. 

This case will not decide the fate of the Internet as many are blowing it up to be, no matter how many Denial of Service attacks are launched in protest.  The DNS assaults only adds another reason in the PIPA/SOPA/OPEN breadcrumb trail Congress continues to leave behind in a written format for a public forum to view as to whether or not such legislation is really necessary to reign in absurd levels of abuse of public trust being imposed by a relative few in many settings, which is what the MegaUpload case represents.

This case will provide another opportunity to determine what commercial practices are entirely against the grain of proprietary and proper means and method to attract both free and paid contributions of materials no one from a typical end-user side can ever know how exactly such materials are being bought and sold, let alone traded or stolen.

The yelping and kvetching of the more influential voices with the word "entertainment" somehow attached to their resume also detracts from what the MegaUpload case represents compared to this continued effort for Congress to attempt to hone in further on key buzz words to keep the buzz up and about as to how an ordinary person is to discern the copyright of a digital work, let alone how to read such a stamp.  If people were busy reporting evidence to the MegaUpload organization about potential copyright violations, they are no more immune to the legal system than YouTube is, let alone the recent Universal Music Group/YouTube contribution to the legal books.

Who has been playing who in a MegaUpload context may have some major players associated with the current set of circumstances, but Governor Walker, Governor Ryan and Governor Blagojevich were also  once considered major players and people associated to them were inescapably colored by the choices of these individuals intermixed with their own choices.

(continued from Part III) And yet it ultimately remains up to each individual to determine if the influence of the Big G crunched an otherwise viable and rational set of large financial schematics designed to intentionally stay below standard measurements, such as is available for review with the following individuals:

Tom Petters - Minneapolis businessman
Kevin Cohen - Attorney Baby Broker schematic
The Tran Organization - Casino-cheating schematic
Kenneth Starr - Accountant to entertainers
Arthur Nadel - stole more than $150 million from 300 people
Marc Dreler - Attorney - hedge fund theft via executive impersonation
Stefan Wilson and Lawrence Salander - Art dealers
Art Williams Jr. - Counterfitter
Alberto Vllar and William Del Blaggio  - NHL team purchased with stolen money
Scott Rothstein - Attorney - multi-billion dollar theft
TJX/Albert Gonzales - Hackers
Tri Energy - International diplomat - fraudulent gold deal
Troy A. Titus - Stole millions from vulnerable groups including the sick and the elderly

And short as that list just was, the online fraud catalog has an even longer list of potentials, which I'll save for another time and none of this particular list was the direct fault of someone within Illinois' boundaries...but the state will still suffer for such acts. 

How you decide to feel about that is up to you, however I could not help but be disturbed with the volumes upon volumes of demands for auto-outrage to course through the neuro-networks to somehow make it clear that any government interference with the unfettered operation of an organization operating for the clear intent of turning a profit will be met with nothing but a signal bombardment with an inescapable political message attached "Don't Trust Them!  Trust US!  Down with Big G!  Up with MegaUpload."  What a racket to rustle up with the muscles of an artist's heart and soul, their bread and butter, their peaches and cream, their chocolate and vannila,

I think this is a great opportunity for Congress to have fair reason to step back even further from the pads of paper being used to sculpt out even more verbiage that only continues to confuse the whole rights and responsibilities nature of someone being a copyright holder and what tools are available to prevent unauthorized distribution of their materials. 

They have as much of a right to leverage commercially-driven boundaries as the next business owner and these cries and whines about "Sucks to be you, Artist.  Now shut up and get back to composing because your content still sucks and isn't worth even a few cents" being inserted into millions of comment sections while a few manage to squeeze out a "Make it so it makes sense and maybe we'll see" message being broadcast from locations across the world that are attached to money-generated linking schematics.

(continued from Part IV) Because the online community permits everyone having opportunity to voice their opions (let alone options) I believe Congress should consider letting the MegaUpload case work its way through the legal system before beginning to revisit any tinkering the Big G should impose upon the history books covering the evolution of the copyright industry in its current setting.  Perhaps it is the legal community that needs to step up not its copyright skillset but its affilate marketing knowledge and understanding of the mechanics involved with such a necessary component of permitting someone of my status and stature to be permitted to not only publish as I see fit, but to also read and review content until my head hits my keyboard due to exhaustion...all for the cost of accessing a connection with my hardware (which is quite old-fashioned and outdated, but I still like it!). 

Sure, my simplification of the financial cost of such a broadcast in terms of my ability to broadcast freely might cause some to shudder with dread, however the cost of publishing something to the Internet has its own set self-evident responses/results that continue to be absent from the PIPA/SOPA/OPEN path.  There are far more symptoms of ailment available in the lawsuit as talking points needing to be addressed than in the current set of notes for proposed legislation.

I can't ignore this view of more legislated permission for private enforcement organizations to receive Official Deputy of Speech status and the subsequent authority to impose a far more pervasive and powerful verdict upon someone, which is derived from the multiple stigmas attached to someone being banned from an online setting, let alone in trouble with The Law.

Just visit a forum or two and see what kinds of conversations transpire regarding the appearance of a negative comment, going back to the "You suck as an artist" quote I left somewhere back towards the beginning of this contemplation.  I don't see how more laws are going to help individuals better attach themselves to process and procedure when violence is being shown on the Internet any more than someone getting the boot from an affiliate marketing system like AdSense for having more than the permissible number of sightings of advertisements that in some ways represent hope and possibilities beyond our wildest imaginations.  Just think!  How many people have improved their health because they spent time reading materials available for free in an online setting?  That's a a good thing and something worth fighting for, but does it really need more words to be added at a Federal level? 

The MegaUploads lawsuit is falling under a different set of measurements that just so happen to include cyberlocker copyright issues and I think it would do members of Congress a bit of good if they gave the lawyers involved in this case a little room to pull their paperwork together so the best presentations can be put forth.  It may not have the potential for fireworks as a Congressional Hearing can promise, but if MegaUpload leaders have done no legal wrong, hopefully they will have legal counsel capable of putting a quick end to this suit through short and sweet evidence brought before a judge in a courtroom setting so that such a conclusion can be reached using existing laws as the foundation for the fraud allegations.

Don't forget.  If the Fed's actually "goofed" in some way, there's always the option in the next chapter of MegaUpload to return to its cyberlocker activities with the support and sympathy of a much wider audience it would have never otherwise reached in defending the rights of one and all cyberlocker providers against The Big G.

This issue should have an interesting, if not surprising turn out of expression for and against and it's just another hurry up and wait moment sitting in the Queues of Justice.

Happy Monday!

With Vestor toying with Top Gun Jester gestures, it is the pull-down pairings of Tim and Dotcom in Yahoo and Bing plus the 1.1 billion+ injection of entries into the Kim column that can raise an eyebrow or two.  Aside from the Kardashian popularity factor in the Kim column, the suggestion of a template leak is not entirely impossible, however a collection of template leaks is more likely than any single or few sites containing the cause for the 1.1 billion catapult far above Yahoo and Bing.  Look to the low end from the last snapshot in which Google was in reverse of its more common ratio result (Google last rather than first).

With a slim chance of event explanation being nailed down to a specific, could there be a tie-in with another string derivative dump earlier in the week with the plural megaload string?  With the wiggling and jiggling in the vestor and dotcom markets, along with the pairing of a one million add to the Yahoo and Bing indexes with the kim string, this 9-digit page count disappearance can cause at least a blink of an eye, but whether or not a speck of dust is making ones eyes water after the blink or something else is not clearly identifiable from this one major drop

This snapshot was taken January 27, 2012 at approximately 4:46 a.m.

From this starting point, the following collection points have been gathered for further trend analysis:

The MegaUpload Microphone (MUM) comes with backwards/forwards treat for examiners - the string "microphone" being commonly truncated into the 3-letter "mic," of which the pronunciation of the 3 letters when an "e" attached to the end is the same pronunciation as "mic."  So where is the backwards feature of today's string derivative?  The first name of the key figure in the MUM circumstances is "Kim" or "mik" backwards.

What could this possibly matter in such an exact-match world as a search engine?  It means plenty when theory after theory is applied to sculpting semantic accuracy at an attractive rate and ratio in terms of converting the concept into its most attractive packaging to as wide of an audience as possible.  Semantic relevance relies on interaction from an end-user to define what "works" for one may not "work" for another.  So whether or not these types of results are to be classified as outright failures of the program design compared to any other consideration is entirely in the hands of the end-user and reliant on a large variety of variables.

With linguistics and semantics aside, MuMik(e) reflects merely a matter of convenience for a proof of concept creator such as myself to explain this next set of string derivatives to be used for snapshot purposes.  This time around, each string will remain in their singular forms for each snapshot and were selected for their identity weight when referencing the alleged mastermind behind the fraudulent megauploads schematic.

 With a different language translation demonstration, "The Lorem Ipsum Of It All" established in a different branch of The V Decision Tree Project, "getting lost in the translation" takes on a different dynamic far beyond a simple yes or no symbol match-up.

In my post Welcome to A Down In the Dumps Demo, I extract a significant decline in tally for the plural of the string derivative megaupload and use it to help explain one possible influence on the ranking of a site at any given moment.

This particular demonstration combine the two topics together, using the Google Translate service as the sample provider.  In knowing there can be potential for significant mistranslation, this demonstration does not rely on a need to appear semantically and/or linguistically accurate.

Instead, it is relies on an exact match boundary providing clear yes or no matches between languages other than English and how this can be a force driving a spike in a string derivatvie market.

The chart above use a variety of core strings from the megaupload circumstances.  Each string was translated into each of the 63 language options Google Translate offered to an end-user and then compared against its english version.

4 words stayed identical throughout the sampling except for 2 languages: kimcom, kimdot, megaracer and megauploads.  It is important to note that the creation of megaracer (Call of Duty identity) and megauploads are credited to Kim Schmitz (Dotcom) while kimdot was a combo I threw in as a random string derivative not significantly present in existing online materials.  This means that theoretically content can be written in 59 different languages and these 4 words will remain entirely intact as-is.

This is an important facet to absorb.  Let's say a news outlet publishes one identical news story in 59 different languages.  While some words are not guaranteed transference of credit for existing in an english format, these 4 words are theoretically guaranteed to pull all 59 pages in the 59 different languages as a part of a results array searching for one of those 4 words.

On the contrary, the slogan of "bit by bit, its a hit, its a hit" has variations with all 63 languages available with the Google Translate service.  To have a chance at competing in these types of string derivative markets, search engine optimization techniques are typically applied on mass scales.  This means despite the 63 different variations of the word "bit," the phrase is able to be duplicated in a viral manner more often than not undetected by automated means and methods, let alone recognizable by the human eye.

For example, in The Comment Factor Observatory, I have a demonstration displaying the ease of structuring generic sets of strings able to pass at-a-glance observation when in a comment setting.  This application of generic sets of strings extends far beyond any designated comment section, which means thousands of pages generated from article generators could feasibly cause a temporary spike to these generic words currently in play.  Throw into this mix the thousands of campaigns upon thousands of campaigns for people to quick comment in some pre-specified manner and this particular examination method provides an invaluable glimpse into what may be behind a spike or a drop.

Ultimately, once all other search engine indexes are thrown back into this mix, the percentages generated by use of the Google Translate service revert back into more of a variable position and are no more or less valuable than any other snapshot image of this type of statistical analysis.  And yet, to have an idea of just how much someone (or something) is relying on when it comes to the task of translating knowledge from one language to another can give a string derivative competitor yet another component to work with...or against.

Welcome to A Down In the Dumps Demo

I realize I tend to operate off of a vocabulary separate from what most others would consider common, such as with my assignment of the term String Derivatives to identify a sophisticated and intricate series of theories strung together sometimes at a moment's notice to create/stall movement of a string in an online setting.

With debates raging through the forums surrounding the how's and how not to's of mastering the web from an indexing perspective, it is not uncommon for chunks of indexed materials to drop out of sight of the end-user, as is demonstrated through the production of a series of Search Engine Index Snapshots (SEIS), such as what is presented here in the 4th V Decision Tree.

The simplistic question as to how someone's sight somehow shifted in the rankings for no clear reason (or maybe the reason is of an obvious construct) can be temporarily reduced to a result that showed up on the January 26, 2012 at approximately 11:0 p.m. snapshot.  

Basically, a chunk of the Google index dropped out of end-user sight and it wasn't a small chunk in relation to totals provided by the two other search engine indexes.  What had originally been sighted at 918,000 pages in other snapshots dramatically dropped to 289,000, thereby creating a 7,000 difference between the lowest and highest results out of all 3 indexes.

Rather than traveling a path to explore the impact and influences of the 7,000 difference between the 3 major search engine indexes (not very common), it is the idea of 629,000 slots disappearing from any index that I believe can help dispel a myth or two surrounding dumping

Let's say you have a site competing in the megaupload marketplace.  Prior to this 6-digit drop in page count, you were ranking somewhere within the Top 300.  For this demonstration, it is within reason to assume this bulk reduction in total page counts in the Google index is going to influence your rankings in some manner. 

Let's say 50 or 150 of the slots that disappeared were within the Top 200.  You're going to significantly move up the results list, thereby alluding to some measure of page ranking playing the leading role in such a determination.  You could land yourself in the Top 100 or hover somewhere between the Top 100 and 300 list results.

Now what goes into this addition and subtraction of content in any index is anybody's guessing game.  The drop could have been caused by an end-user turning off a major broadcasting source and Google catching up to its absence.  There could have been discovery of template criteria and critique that triggered a de-listing of the content.  Someone could have dumped a bunch of links attached to an affiliate program.  The list goes on and on, but the focus is to help a webmaster gain better insight and sense as to just how much automated content versus hand-crafted content might be influencing the rankings.  Million page sites can go live in a heartbeat and one page can outpace all other pages in the index.

Therefore, this method of trend analysis is not intended to provide precision accuracy to explain individual site movement, rather it is designed to suggest a few starting points to consider when contemplating competition using any string derivative, such as volatility issues surrounding strings put into play for any reason.

Google isn't the only index dumped on by end-users and Google isn't the only index to dump content from the public viewing results collection they provide end-users, but this particular dump seemed like as good as any of a demonstration why auto-assigning blame and responsibility solely on the shoulders of a search engine index remains a little odd when it is traditionally an end-user that initiates a broadcast of any kind in the first place.

Perhaps another headline for this would be "6-digit Entry Breakout Causes Significantly Different Megaupload Roster Breakdown."

Now whether or not an end-user had permission to put up the content or not is a whole different storyline with an entirely different reason to view an artist being down in the dumps regarding the current emotional currents coursing throughout the entire industry and beyond.

Another time, perhaps.

With a quick drop of the plural, Google fell to within 3,000 of its nearest competitor (Bing) and within 7,000 of Yahoo.  With the singular appearing to stand still for this snapshot, it is the plus and minus adjustments amongst the three that suggest end-user influence, perhaps from the streaming sector of the online community.  Reports of file transfer reduction rates and ratios significantly dropping is broadly and commonly associated with the legal maneuvers in play with this international set of circumstances.

General Notes:  It is not much of a surprise the string without the "s" is staying relatively stable while the plural form displayed minor elasticity in Google with a Yahoo climb of 30 thousand, the biggest gain of the snapshot.

Singular:  The drop of 2 million pages from the Bing index while the Google and Yahoo index remained the same is not a clear indicator of unusual content contributions.  The 4 to 1 Total Page Count Ratio (TPCR) is not unexpected and has general outline value, but with no clear popularity factor indicators available to suggest otherwise, this ratio is an unreliable at-a-glance like versus dislike vote due to the favoring of one index over the other for a variety of variables entirely out of the control of the indexes.

Plural:    The variance in the Yahoo climb allows for consideration of sources above and beyond most common resources (i.e. news outlets, social media settings, etc.) contributing content relevant to a legal issue being discussed via the most common resources.  The 3 to 1 Total Page Count Ratio (TPCR) is not unexpected and has general outline value, but with no clear popularity factor indicators available to suggest otherwise, this ratio is an unreliable at-a-glance like versus dislike vote due to the favoring of one index over the other for a variety of variables entirely out of the control of the indexes.
