Google Patent Application

[dilligaf]

Some good reading:
The document (http://appft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PG01&s1=20050071741&OS=20050071741&RS=20050071741)

A couple of places where it's being discussed:
Web Master World (http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum30/28814.htm)

SEO Chatter RandFish's summary (http://socengine.com/seo/guide/google-historical-data-patent.html).

I saw that. It may provide some pretty good insight but I also have a feeling that it will create some knee jerk reactions.

Question:

Since Google became a domain name register so they can use the information in there ALGO's....... What information can they see?

Can a domain name register see more than a basic whois?

If you register by proxy would they not see anything? I know we cannot see but I'm wondering if a domain name register can see more.

I think the patent application does explain a fair few purchases. Its going to cause some rumours as it already has (the sandbox), but its nice to see that the industry has matured, because there's not been very many so far, I'm pleased to say.

I blogged a summary version sum-up at search science and, randfish from SEOmoz (http://www.socengine.com/seo/guide/google-historical-data-patent.html) wrote a very complete piece.

How's that?

I didn't read the whole document but i scanned through it. And i agree with Xan that this patent will create an uproar and ppl will prolly speculate more on the "sandbox" hype.
Some of the things i read clearly proved what a lot of us believe, like how google gives more frequency to aged links.
