First Jay stop using Yahoo. It sucks compared to Google. Second in this case
Google does the same thing. Both use a very complex system of click throughs and other metrics to rank pages. But it is my understanding that as far as Google is concerned the biggest factor is pages with the search term that has links from other pages. If you Google "Iowa City Airport" in quotes so it is looking for the phrase not the words your page comes up first. "Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:gbgUe.319519$_o.176759@attbi_s71... Go to Yahoo and type in "Iowa City Airport". The first choice that comes up is "Eastern Iowa Airport" -- the Cedar Rapids, IA airport! How do they *do* that? It doesn't appear to be a paid advertisement, since it appears along with the rest of the search results. This kind of stuff drives me crazy, since it seems to be a deliberate -- and annoyingly successful -- attempt to "spoof" the search engine. Why doesn't the Iowa City Airport come up first? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
