THREE SPECIFIC EXAMPLES Of GOOGLE PLACING COPIED or CONTENT FARMED or DERIVATIVE MATERIAL (at eHOW and at PeaktoPrarie home inspections) AHEAD OF THE ORIGINAL InspectAPedia.com SOURCE These examples show that for a slightly more complex search argument on an important topic, the new Google search algorithm is not performing properly: Subject: Zinsco electrical panel hazards Google Search Argument: history of purchases and sales of zinsco At this eHow article http://www.ehow.com/how_5152785_replace-zinsco-circuit-breakers-panels.html Google has placed this derivative material at the top of the web page. And at the top left of the article you will see that eHOW has posted a whole collection of derivative articles on this same topic. We at InspectAPedia.com conducted the original data collection, research, and publication of information on this topic and there we have organized and published for years, a complete, in-depth series of articles containing what is known about Zinsco panels and breakers and field failures, field failure reports, expert opinions, etc. Our Zinsco information, which is the original content published anywhere on this topic dates from research we began in 1986 and began publishing online in the 1990's. See: http://inspectapedia.com/electric/Zinsco.htm where around 18 detailed, illustrated articles are found. (See links at page left of our front page on Zinsco.) WORSE, the information in the eHow article, perhaps because it is content-farmed, is inaccurate and dangerous to consumers, including failing to point out that this particular product has been reported to suffer unusual failures and failure frequency, the nature of the failure, how a consumer might become aware of a problem, etc. The eHOW article side links point to numerous other articles that scrape or content-farm topics from our website including replacement electrical panels from Cutler Hammer, also original material that we researched and published under the aegis of finding for consumers solutions to problems with problem electrical panel brands FPE Stab-Lok and Zinsco. GOOGLE has placed eHow derivative, and possibly dangerous material on Zinsco electrical panels at the top of web search on this subject. SECOND EXAMPLE: Subject: Zinsco electrical panel hazards Google Search Argument: history of purchases and sales of zinsco The FIRST TWO return links Google returned for the above search argument is http://www.bowieservice.com/blog/ THAT article and the next one below (a duplicate article) contain almost ZERO information about Zinsco except for a very brief paragraph scraped from our original content Does GOOGLE Ever get it right? YES on simpler search arguments. Google DOES perform correctly by returning the original source detailed authoritative content if a consumer searches on this search argument: zinsco electrical panel THIRD EXAMPLE Subject: Zinsco electrical panel hazards Google Search Argument: history of purchases and sales of zinsco ANOTHER SPECIFIC EXAMPLE Of GOOGLE PLACING COPIED DERIVATIVE PeaktoPrarie home inspection MATERIAL AHEAD OF THE ORIGINAL InspectAPedia.com SOURCE Subject: Zinsco electrical panel hazards Google Search Argument: history of purchases and sales of zinsco returns on the same search results page a predatory website link on the google search results page TITLED "All the Answers..." (owned by PeaktoPrarie a Boulder CO home inspector) with this link http://www.peaktoprairie.com/?D=186 That page, hosted by http://www.peaktoprairie.com/ is a VERBATIM COPY of hundreds of links and article titles from our own website InspectAPedia.com Although the links on the "alltheanswers" page indeed link to our own original content, Google is returning this page of pure links at "alltheanswers" in response to the Zinsco search instead of returning the actual content pages at our website. It certainly appears that at least some web content scrapers, duplicators, copiers, and content farms are still appearing ahead of the original and accurate content in google search returns, in particular, where a longer or more complex serarch argument is used.
