Happy Purim from the Search Engine Roundtable... forums.seroundtable.com/showthread.php?t=2739
Today is the holiday of Purim. I wrote about Purim last year also, but figured I give you an update now...
That is a picture of cartoon me, with a beer. Typically, it is customary to get drunk on purim. I am not a big drinker or even a drinker at all. I am at work anyway, so no real Purim celebration for me. I do have a few gifts (shalach manot) here from friends, etc.
My wife is coming by later so we can have a quick meal for the day.
Then I have a 1pm meeting with a new programmer we are interviewing (yes we are hiring).
I also put up a special theme at the Search Engine Roundtable:
Happy Purim everyone!

Welcome to episode #96 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. There a little flub at the beginning of the recording. I hit the pause button and didn't unpause (it's an ugly story, and you don't want to hear about it). That being said, tons of great content with call-ins about how the show can evolve and a conversation around why Search and Search Engine Optimization is changing, and what you need to know about it. There's lots of other goodies as well. My energy was high, so the talking is fast. Enjoy the conversation...

Google has been experimenting with letting users reorder and remove search results. This may seem strange if you think that Google cares a lot about algorithmically ranking search results. The new options allow you to promote some of the results at the top of the page, hide the results you think are not relevant and add new web pages that are missing from Google's results. These changes are saved in your Google account and only influence your results. For now, the users who see the experimental feature are randomly selected.
These new personalization options can be partly recreated using a custom search engine. You can build a custom search engine for the entire web, that should include all the sites from Google's index. Every time you find web pages or web sites that are not very useful, but have good rankings, you can edit the search engine and them to the exclusion list.
To promote search results, check this option in the custom search engine's settings: "Add my Subscribed Link to this Custom Search Engine". Then create subscribed links for some of the terms you search often. Alternatively, you could use Google Spreadsheets to define a list of subscribed links. The subscribed links are also included if you use Google's standard search engine, but they're displayed after the third search result.
The custom search engine lacks the user interface options from Google's experimental feature, but it's a pretty powerful way to customize your search experience.

In this weekâs column on Human Hardware, we look at the differences between the two basic models of humans: men and women.
As a species, the vast majority of our history has been spent not really thinking about the differences between men and women. The distinctions seemed obvious, and while survival was the main objective, each sex just did what seemed most needed to get through the day. For women, this involved having children and making sure they grew up to have their own children, usually through picking a supportive and providing male. For men, it meant feeding the family and having sex as often as possible. Simplistic? Yes, but most evolutionary realities generally are. Fair? Probably not, but remember, evolution doesnât really care about being fair. It just cares about making sure genes are passed on from one generation to the next.
