I have exactly this kind of data! >From google's perspective, it's probably the most complicated task to filter, what are those "usefully generated" links. e.g. Sage showed up for the query "free t-shirt" and similar ones. I don't think that someone who searches for free t-shirts want's to know something about sage ;) > > Would it cost any less to get "mathematica" if it was combined with > another word,... Yes, it would, it's a big game of bids and random selections. But before I start this, I will read the tutorials and collect data that i think could be important. I think this business is a bit complicated and it can be useful to know more about it. > > I would have thought one of the largest markets for Sage would be > those that know of Mathematica, but can't afford it... I know, and thanks for those links. I also noticed that those results for a certain term change over time. Google seems to switch their ranking quite often and collects the data of clicked links (there is a paper from google about their measurement method for satisfaction). And yes, the ideal situation would be a link to sage everytime someone has a problem with mathematica (e.g. "mathematica/matlab" & "license activation" &"problem" if we try to catch those users who are dissatisfied with their current software and need a replacement) harald --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
