Everything, Anything, and Nothing
from, for, about, and by Ben

A little about Ben:

This young adult male spends his time at school (MST).

If you are looking for my CV, look here

What this site is for: to be a playground for Ben. If a link doesn't go somewhere, don't be suprised. Not all my pages are linked to, but they are accessible if they exist. The pages either change very often or hardly at all in direct proportion to class loads.

    Why use Google instead of Yahoo for searching?

    The Yahoo paid inclusion program, which it calls Site Match, provides Yahoo with revenue both from getting paid by web sites that want to join the program and then each time someone clicks on that listing.

    Unlike Google, which puts its paid listing to one side of the search results, the Yahoo content acquisition program will not differentiate between sites which have paid to be noticed and those which don't.

    Critics of paid inclusion contend that results of a search can be distorted by giving prominent display to paying customers which might otherwise might not enjoy such prominence.

    "[T]he content acquisition program serves to make a richer set of content accessible to users in a way that most search engines today are unable to achieve," said Tim Cadogan, vice president of Search at Yahoo, in a written statement.

    Summary: Google differentiates between paid, unpaid site listings. Yahoo doesn't.
