Sunday Search of the Week 5-30-2010

by Will

This weeks search is: What do you think – will Taft Power Equipment grow fast?

I think this one shows how the Google algorithms don’t always work well. I guess the result is valid since the phrase “will Taft” is in it but still its kind of an odd result. Maybe I talk about power equipment somewhere too. I know that several post titles contain the word “grow” so maybe that is it?

Wow you have power equipment named after you. That kinda elevates your social status…
Or maybe not… :-D

Here is what I found. Funny that someone should do a search like that. It looks like a stock question, but this business would not be publicly held. That is the part of the country where I am from. I expect we are related, but I don’t know.

hey Will,
Interesting search… as you say, although Google is amazing, they aren’t perfect, and thus they saw Will Taft and not will Taft…
I believe the post that was found was this one…
Should We Use Food Crops For Food, Not Fuel?
May 14, 2008 … Will Taft . com. Healthy Living For People and Planet Earth … Doing this, the cost would be similar to costs now and the same heating equipment could be used. …. Do a lottery or something to determine who gets to grow crops for … clean renewable energy sources like solar power and wind power. …
willtaft dot com/energy-use/use-food-crops-for-food-not-fuel/

Notice that the snippet has “grow”, “power”, and “equipment”, but it is not about the growth of a power equipment company…
A very interesting search in terms of trying to understand what search engines have to deal with.

Amazing once again Steve how you track these down! I had actually looked for what post might have attracted that search phrase and did not find anything. I was thinking it may just have been the “will Taft” and landed on the home page, but seeing now what you came up with, I am sure that was it.
