Google Earth: how long does it take until they update the imagery?

Do you know when the next version of Google Earth will be released? I believe that's when they update the imagery.





What method can be used, to obtain recent images of Earth... like the ones in google earth?

Google Earth: how long does it take until they update the imagery?
Google Earth updates from one to three years, as they say here:


http://earth.google.com/support/bin/answ...





However, some areas are updated more frequently that that, and news can be found here:

See this:

For lots of resources to aerial images.
Reply:i think u need to buy google earth plus, its like 50 bucks, and they update it every week
Reply:Depends, I think maybe every year, I've noticed alot of Google Satelite pics are old based on my house, i viewed it a while back and my backyard is way different from what it is now, based on my backyard, I'd say they maybe replace the pics every year. Covering the whole earth isn't a easy task.
Reply:i think maybe 1 year or more but if you Pay 50 dollars for plus version its only will give you some more feature GPS more clearly images 3D making etc not weekly satellite images updating so i think Free is good

Google employee e-mail addresses... looking for Douglas Merrill?

I'm searching for an e-mail address for Douglas Merrill, Senior Director of IT for Google. I have noticed that employee e-mail addresses at Google are not created with a specific syntax. Can anyone help me out?

Google employee e-mail addresses... looking for Douglas Merrill?
You could leave a comment on his blog at http://otherendofsunset.blogspot.com/ and ask him, but it's probably better to contact Google via their links at http://www.google.com/contact/index.html than to email particular people there if you just have a general question.

Google Sandbox??

I currently run the site, http://www.gotalkmoney.com The website went live at the beginning of March 2006. As of late, my site will rank on page 2 for the keyword "money forum" SOMETIMES. When it's not on page 2, its usually around the page 9 or 10 mark. Is this a good sign and how long does the sandbox usually last with google? I'm familiar with the google datacenters, etc but this really confuses me.





No, I haven't changed anything on the front page when it dances around.

Accuracy of Google Earth?

OK. Google Earth pretends to go to 0º00'00.01", which is to say one hundredth of one second of one degree. This is equal to (and correct me if I'm wrong) 30.87cm.


1º = 60 nautical miles so therefore 0º01'=1 nautical mile


1 nautical mile = 1852m


therfore the accuracy proclaimed by Google Earth is 1852/60/100 which equals 30.87cm


Is Google Earth software really that accurate?

Accuracy of Google Earth?
My maths work out the same as yours, 0°00'00.01" is indeed 30.87cm, assuming that 1 nautical mile = 1,852m. Which is an approximate assumption. However the possible variance between the assumption and the reallity is known to be negligeable.


Thus 0°00'00.01" can be accepted as 31cm or there abouts.
Reply:I think so, but I think it refers to the precision to which it moves (left, right, up, down), and not the accuracy of the picture.
Reply:unsure, but the satellite images a well out of date in some areas (6/7 years)
Reply:Their picture of my back garden is about ten years out of date!
Reply:Wow!... I don't know the answer, but the piccies of our farm look pretty darn good!!
Reply:no way...i mean about 8 years there were boat houses there already...but on google earth there r no boat houses..its like 9-10 years late...but i have to say the details in the photo are accurate.
Reply:No
Reply:dam close
Reply:yes
Reply:I don't know that they're accurate to within 30 cm, but they are to within a few meters. Case in point: zoom in on Quito, Ecuador (actually a suburb or two north). Look for Mitad del Mundo, the monument marking the exact point they USED to believe was the equator. Turns out they were 240 m off (see Wikipedia below). Using the "ruler" tool, I drew a line 240 m long from the monument, and it ended very close to 0º00'00.00.





So, yeah, I think they're using pretty accurate GPS to determine the coordinates. More accurate than the actual physical lines us humans have drawn. (For example, it looks like the true 49th parallel runs just off the "official" border between US-Canada.)


How does google differ from other engines in the way it ranks sites?

I have a site which is number 1 on yahoo, msn, ask etc but for some reason i just can't get above page 3 on google. I know that nobobdy knows for sure how google rank sites but how come im number 1 everywhere else but just can't crack google?

How does google differ from other engines in the way it ranks sites?
yahoo does it in poularity, google does it in order of who pays them the most, msn and ask do other things like this. There are many types of these ranks.
Reply:There are many rules for SEO. If you break them then google will penalise you or remove you from the rankings. (cross linking, hidden links, links from other penalised sites etc etc)


Google's algo also gives more weight to backlinks than the other engines.


I could go on and on about other factors but these seem the most relevant to your case

What are GOOGLE ADSENSE and GOOGLE ADWORDS PROGRAMS?

I want to know that What are GOOGLE ADSENSE and GOOGLE ADWORDS PROGRAMS? Will they really work?


How they work? How I can earn from them? What are their alternatives? Which is suitable for part time? How much I can earn from them as a fresher by spending 2-3 hours daily? How I get the payment of my earnings? And other legal details.


Please tell about all free to join and work and get paid Programs. Please remember everything shopuld be free.


Please give detailed answer if possible.

What are GOOGLE ADSENSE and GOOGLE ADWORDS PROGRAMS?
There's been a great deal of discussion about the effectiveness of AdWords as a marketing channel. AdWords is highly susceptible to click fraud from the competition and Google has been less than aggressive when it comes to chasing down click fraud rings.





Also, Google promises to place your AdWord, 60 character block on sites related to the keywords you select. Many subscribers have found their AdWords on sites that have nothing to do with the topicality of the home site - the site placing the ads. There have even been complaints that AdWords have been placed by Google on non-English speaking sites.





There's little incentive for Google to change its tactics. It gets the PPC whether it's legit or an AdWord-clicking bot wiping out the marketing budgets of competitors.





There are plenty of PPC programs other than AdWords, though they aren't any more effective in preventing click fraud.





On the upside, you only pay when a buyer clicks on your AdWords. Just watch for spikes in activity. If you go from six click-throughs a day to 6,000 a day, you've got a click fraud problem.





Look, if you're going to spend money marketing your site, there are better, more effective ways to do it than those blue skyscrapers on the right side of Google's SERPs.





I'd stay away and look at other, more reliable means of monetizing a site. Look into affiliates at www.cj.com.





Hopes this answers your question.


Paul Lalley


editor@webwordslinger.com
Reply:Adwords is an incredibly effective way of marketing your site; I have been running campaings for a number of sites now and have yet to see an incidence of click fraud. Google on the other hand did and refunded the ammount back to us. If you're thinking of going for adwords, make sure you only advertise on search and not on content otherwise you could get a lot of clicks that have no quality. Adwords is NOT free.





Adsense is where you have ads on your site and make money when people click on those ads. Do not be tempted to click on the ads that show up on your own site though as Google monitors IP addresses and will claim back the cash and ban you from the Adsense program.





Hope that helps

Why not Google come out and anounce that Google cash-2 is not its subsidary body??????????

This will degrade Google as a trustworthy Brand if some one misused some thing like using brand google in their own intrests of business

Why not Google come out and anounce that Google cash-2 is not its subsidary body??????????
Since the name is not actually just Google, there is nothing they can do about it, except possibly take the users to court. The legal questions are incredibly complex.


Why is Google forcing me to click twice?

For some odd reason, Google is forcing people to click twice on search results for this site rather than sending people straight through.





Check it out yourself: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=na...





Then scroll down to the 7th link, there, Draft Express, and click on it. It will just bring up the same google search result again, and if u click a 2nd time, it will finally go through.





The really weird part is, this can't be replicated in any way shape or form. If you try doing it again, it goes through on the first try, and if you try using a different search result for the same site, it still goes through on the first try. The only way to replicate this it seems is to come back tomorrow or go to another computer.





Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

Why is yahoo biting off google?

Google answers. Now Yahoo answers.


Google storage. Now Yahoo extended storage.


Gmail search. Now Yahoomail search.


Google cached. Now Yahoo cached.


If yahoo really want to be the next Google they should get rid of annoying animated colorful picture ads. They're the main reason why so many people, including me, have switched to Google. Text ads suffice.

Why is yahoo biting off google?
Its all about competition and market share which is the exact same reason Microsoft is wiggling into the market.





Yahoo and Google are direct competitors and with more and more money going towards online development, (search and search advertising will become a 12 billion dollar industry by 2010 alone) they cannot afford to ignore what is in front of them.





Such large markets translate to 1% equaling millions of dollars depending on the type of market share, thats too big to give up. If your competitor comes out with a useful product, you have no choice but to follow suit for fear of losing market share.





Google hasn't really been inventing so much as they have been innovating and bettering what is already in place. Expect to see these two companies and Microsoft "bite" off each other for some time.
Reply:Just for SOME sort of balance here, Yahoo Mail has been around for many years - last year GOOGLE launched their OWN GMail.





Yahoo Messenger is one of the oldest IM programs around - last year Google came up with (the most amazingly pathetic, in my view) GoogleTalk.





I don't think there's any question of Yahoo wanting to be the next Google - I feel the opposite is truer.





Sure Google WAS the fastest riser for some time, but still has a long way to go to be thought of as anything much more than a superb search engine.

Virus from google video?

Can you get a virus on your PC from watching a viedeo from Google video?





Can a virus destroy your harddrive and make it completely inopperable?





1. My girlfriend watched a video on Google video and taht night her harddrive happened to die.





2. my girlfriend told someone else to watch this video on Google and their harddrive died as well.. this happened within days of each other..





Bizarre coincidence?

Virus from google video?
Coincidence, a virus could destroy a hard drive if it ran the heads on your hard drive as hard as it could for a really extended period of time (I'm talking weeks even months) straight. I don't see that happening without someone notice the hard drive behavior.





You really can't get a virus from watching a video on Google.

Why is Google more popular than Yahoo?

I don't understand why everyone says google this and google that when actually it should be Yahoo this and Yahoo that because is it just me who thinks Yahoo! is better the Google?

Why is Google more popular than Yahoo?
I use them roughly equally for searching; Yahoo!'s my homepage though. Yahoo! offers better overall services; Google is better at finding really specific searches. I guess Google is more popular because it's the most lo-fi option avaliable for new users of the internet.
Reply:i agree with you im a yahoo fan,and most my friends are you know you will have to get rid of those people in your life and be our friend lol!
Reply:It's just become a kind of 'word' to describe searching the internet for something. Google has become popular because of the amount of publicity it has recieved-whether good or bad- and because of its clean user interface.





I remember when I had dial-up; I'd set my homepage to google becuase of its low graphics and then I'd just use it becuase it's there. Now that I have broadband, I still keep google as my homepage. Also I use it to check whether or not I'm getting an internet connection- again because of the fact that there's hardly anything to download!
Reply:good question for a change. It must be a real Yahoo question. I think the answer is that when people say Google this and Google that, they are talking about searching using the Yahoo or Google search engine.





It's in that respect that Google is probably better. Remember that there are hundreds of search engines, Yahoo and Google being the most popular and most used.





Google generally provides the best search results hence the expression Google it. But the contest is not only between Google and Yahoo.





So "Google it," has become the popular term for saying, "Search on the Internet." Just like Hoover, (Which is a brand name) became to word used to describe all vacuum cleaners





Hope that helps
Reply:Not the search engine. Google smokes Yahoo on searches. It's not even a competition. They have a better homepage, too (www.igoogle.com) - you can get your preferred content w/o having to log in every time.





Yahoo is more fun, though.
Reply:beacause google's open source it can be incorporated into other people's applications, so you get used to it even when using something else - even yahoo used google until very recently. They also buy user traffic (you Tube).
Reply:I LOVE GOOGLE!!! I seem to find more there....when I do a yahoo search it doesnt bring up as much...plus it's catchy...if you have a problem just GOOGLE it!!!
Reply:because google is more accurate


do a test:


type in a website address (website.co.uk) in both yahoo and google and you'll see that the first result of google is that particular website - on yahoo its not!
Reply:I've always prefered Yahoo! to Google after all Yahoo! came first and i've been using the web since before google was founded and there was just really Yahoo! as the most well known search engine
Reply:yahoo is busy and its complicated


google is simple and easy

Joke from Google labs ...?
Google is a fun place to work at from what i have read. they also hold these contests, jokes, games, and stuff hidden within their website. i saw a billboard for a google ad in new york one time that said if you enter this (and it was some search) in the search bar you can enter a contest but the conest had no end to it because you had to click and enter all these links. if you read up on google and their practical jokes you so more of what they have to offer.

Lots of google search results are missing? what's wrong with google?

a strange thing i found! yesterday i did a search at google, today i do the same search with same keywords i really found that most of results are missing! i tried other keywords whose results i am very familiar with,also lots of search results are missing! a more funny thing,when i did one search, google told me there are 177 results,but i could only find 4 results at most. any ideas?

Lots of google search results are missing? what's wrong with google?
It looks like you've come across different data centres.





If you have a look at the two links below you will see a slight difference in the number of results returned.





The first link is the new google (Big Daddy), and the second just a data centre picked at random. Whenever you hit google, you will have landed on one of theses IP addressses (there are over 40 data centres, each with a separate IP address).





Depending on how quickly the information trickles down from the search engine spiders to the data centres will depend on how out of kilter 2 searches may be.
Reply:because web is very big and google cant find things that you want
Reply:it depends what time of the day you do the search.


If it's at night then lots of people around the world have their computers turned off so you wont find the search results.

Earning from Google Adsene and google cash?

Please let me know if any body earning from Google Adsene. If you are earning tell me how much and is safe in India? I had ordered their Google Cash CD. Please tell me earliest.

Earning from Google Adsene and google cash?
Google Cash is NOT Google Adsense. Adsense is the advertising program by Google, while Google Cash is not by Google but only uses the name of Google.





Adsense is a way to monetize and earn money from your site by putting Google ads from their advertising network Adwords. It has been around since June 2003 and Adsense has allowed many website owners to earn from their sites. I highly recommend going through the Adsense Quick Tour to learn more about the program http://www.google.com/services/adsense_t...





HOW DOES IT WORK





You apply and once you get approved, you can put in the Adsense code in your site. Here are the instructions on how to add Adsense codes on your site https://www.google.com/adsense/support/b...





You earn through various ways:





1. Pay per click - this is the common way to earn which is you earn every time a visitor clicks on your ads


2. Pay per impression - an advertiser can specifically target your site and show ads where you earn via cost per 1,000 impression (e.g. you earn every time someone sees your ad, even though they don't click on it)


3. Referral - you can also earn if you refer a visitor to use Adsense or Adwords, download the Google toolbar, etc.





IS IT WORTH IT AND HOW MUCH MONEY PER MONTH DOES IT BRING IN?





Some sites do very well with Adsense (even in the millions of dollars a year) while many more sites do extremely poorly with the program (can't even earn $10 a month). One of the misconception people have about Adsense is they simply slap it in their websites and it will automatically earn them big money -- which is not true as evidenced by the many disgruntled webmasters





Your income will depend on:





- the topic of your site (if you have high paying keywords you stand to earn more)


- responsiveness of users to ad (are visitors coming to your site with blinders in their eye or do they look at the ads as additional complementary resource)


- traffic (you earn more with more traffic, even if you have low paying keywords or other metrics)


- how you implement the ads on your site (some positions and colors work better than others)





I suggest you join the program (you've got nothing to lose as it is free) and see how your site will do with it. I've been with Adsense since June 2003 and it's been a GREAT income generating program for us. So for me, Adsense is definitely worth it
Reply:Apparently, Google Adsense is a true program for earning, but the requirement of website and launching it is the most important part of it. I have been slogging since long creating a website and after a long period I have been able to create a website but its difficult to upload it. You need to have website knowledge to earn from Google Adsense
Reply:Google Cash CD? Whatever is that? Google doesn't have anything called a Cash CD!? Anyway, I've got many contacts who earn from Google AdSense in India. It's perfectly safe. But don't ever misuse it by clicking on the ads by your self. If you keep doing that, then you might just be banned forever! Per each click from a visitor, you can get amounts ranging from $0.05 to upto $3 (that's the max I've got). Other ways of earning money is by placing one of the referrals provided by AdSense which has a wide range of options.

Need Help Installing Google Analytics on Redirect URLs?

I am wanting to set up some domains with a redirect to other domains and offers...





In doing this, I want to install Google Analytics on these domains i'm using as Redirects.





However, Google states that the Analytics code must be between the %26lt;body%26gt; %26lt;/body%26gt; tags.





Well, when doing a redirect (at least the redirects I know about) - there is no %26lt;body%26gt; %26lt;/body%26gt; tags, and I can't get Google Analytics to work with redirect domains.





Can someone please help me on what type of code I need to use for a redirect - that will be friendly with the Google Analytics Code I need to put on my page to track stats?





Thanks!

Need Help Installing Google Analytics on Redirect URLs?
Actually there is no need to install it on all domains that redirect. Only on the page that they land on. The reason you don't need to do this is because stats generated on a redirect page will be roughly the same as those of the landing page. The only difference will be the referrer attribute which if you put on the landing page will be great because it should tell you the redirect page. Secondly, putting it on the redirect page instead of the landing page will not yield useful results because each visitor will only be there a short time. So you will see a tremendous bounce rate. A bounce rate is when a visitor hits the site and within like 30 seconds leaves your site.





You will find that the stats generated on the landing page will be more comprehensive, more detailed, and more accurately reflect what your visitors are doing. Remember that Google Analytics also tracks things like how long a user stays on the site, what they are viewing in the way of content, etc and all that will be wasted on a redirect page.





If you want to go up and beyond what Google Analytics provides you in the way of tracking which redirect domains are the most active, it would actually be more beneficial to simply code a page that tallies a hit in a database table. Then you could compare the tallies to those of the visitors on the landing page that Google Analytics is tracking to add the benefit of seeing who hit your redirect and ditched out of the request... never making it to your landing page.





In any case, you might find the link I have specified below very useful.

Home page - google ?

when i open internet explorer , google website opens as home page . i havent set google as my home page . also i went tools%26gt; internet options%26gt; general %26amp; set about blank as home page.but still google opens as home page .





also sometimes a msg occurs "windows explorer has encountered a serious problem , sorry for inconvenience , you may need to close".





why the problem persists.? tell me the solution .

Home page - google ?
If you didn't set your homepage to google, that probably means a program did. Download Ad-Aware SE from lavasoft.de if you don't already have it, and run a scan. You may have adware/spyware/malware on your computer.
Reply:If your system defualts to something you did not set, you have spyware from a free type program or application you have downloaded, the fine print is that you give permission to set advertisement, spyware, search from sites like google, and/or You have a virused computer,





I would first un-install any free programs or applications, 2nd, I load a free version of www.avast.com home version software and run and do free registration,(great program), and 3rd, I would buy Spy Sweeper and schedule it to sweep your system everyday to remove spyware programs. That should cleen up you PC.





If you have another version of out dated Anti virus, be sure to uninstall it before you load avast. Start/Control Panel/Add remove programs Select program and click un-install, and reboot when it is done...
Reply:sorry you have the errors I did. It just seems Microsoft sometimes has a bug in it and closes the web browser when there is a problem. I call it Mickey soft as it is a dumb thing to happen but if your home page changed then you might have been hijacked without even knowing. You can download hijack this and see if your web browser was hijacked.

Website now showing up highly in Google and other search engines?

I just don't get it. I submitted my website over 3 months ago to the Google search engine and my website has a sitemap with over 90 links that i submitted to google also. Yes, my site does come up in google but very lowly. I have a large amount of daily traffic and my site DOES NOT use frames and my site is content filled. When i type in the title of my website in google, my website shows up at the bottom even though the keywords are relevant.So please answer this: How can i raise my ranking on Google and how come only selected webpages of my site show up on google? Thank you!

Website now showing up highly in Google and other search engines?
New sites get sandboxed at times so your lucky your in the index. To see what Google has on your site go to search bar and type site:yoursite.com . SEO your site, make sure its content rich and has your keywords in the description, content meta tags title etc. Google and other search engines works with keywords for your index listing example page 1 or page one millionth. Go to MSN search engine, top right Firefox browser and type up psychic ability you will see my aus dot come about forth. Search engines index on keywords in your site. To answer your question simply you need links and lots of them from good quality same themed sites as yours. Not 90 more like five thousand to get high on Google all depends on your keyword.
Reply:Can you publish your website url so that we can advise?





It could be that you are just starting to appear in google and it has not got all your pages as yet.

try this one :

how to make money, by doing blogs...
Reply:Without a "domain" the best way to start earning with adsense is to start a blog on blogger.com - why? because one it's free and second of all blogger.com encourages you to put adsense ads on your blog.





Now if you already have a blog or site yo are going to have to see if adding adsense ads are allowed.





To start earning money with adsense you first have to submit your site so that it can be reviewed. When your site is approved then you go through the process of choosing ad particulars like color and size. Once done you cut and paste the codes to your site.





You start earning when people click on the ads.





You must make a minimum of $100 per month before adsense will send you a payment. You can either get a check mailed to you or a bank transfer.





You can also visit my blog to find more answers to your adsense-related questions.

Why does Google think my website is about gardening when I'm a book designer?

I am a book designer and I just posted my portfolio online for the first time. Google had no problem finding it, but besides my name, every single keyword to find my site is gardening related. Neither my website nor my sitemap.xml file have anything to do with gardening! I haven't yet plugged in meta tags and this might correct the problem, but it seems very specific and I was wondering if anyone knew the cause of it. My website is at www.mistercliff.com and you can see Google's list of "similar" site at http://www.google.com/search?hl=en%26amp;safe=...

Why does Google think my website is about gardening when I'm a book designer?
The mysteries of Google PageRank.





No one's entirely sure how it works out some of the stuff. But here are some things that might help:





1) Try and get related sites to link to you: most of PageRank is done by who links to you. If lots of book-design sites link to you then it will work it out. Do you know if any gardening sites link to you?





2) Add a description meta-tag: Google uses this to rank you site.





3) Google looks for keywords on your page. So make sure you've got lots of words about book-design on the front page (although this seems to be the case already).





4) The keywords meta-tags won't make much difference to your ranking, but might help with gardening thing.





The first one will be the most important one in getting your site recognised properly.
Reply:Your website name includes the word cliff (rock gardens cliff designs etc..., and the website url in a search will cause the engine to look for the most populated sites with that word as well as mister. Gardeners use misters to water indoor gardens. So it is going solely on those terms..





Looking at your actually website you would want people to find it not based on your name but on what you specialize in. Your most used terms are tribal vision, and teh name cliff. If you are a book designer and want people to find you for that reason then use more related content on your home page and supporting pages that related to and include book, designer, cover, prolugue, photos, graphics, etc... A webite name could be book-designer.com etc...


Why is Google considered so much better than Yahoo?

I often use Yahoo for internet searches etc. But I recently heard that about 75% of all internet searches are conducted through Google. Why is google so much more popular than Yahoo? What makes Google so much better? To me, they seem like they serve the same basic function, except Yahoo seems to have more content (but obviously I must be wrong). Thanks

Why is Google considered so much better than Yahoo?
I used both search Engine.


Google has many feature like Blog Search, Google Document, Google Calender, Google Notebook.


If you have google account, you could create fantasy map, have satellite view, and street view at selected USA cities, well as access to YouTube or Blogger.


For example, if you search for "taxi", list of taxi will be show up.


After the "catch", there's word that says, "Note."


If you click on it, the one of taxi subject you choose would save into your Google Notebook.


Yahoo is only good for search engine and Answers.
Reply:Google and Yahoo! Search are equally known but Google is like an automatic reaction - when you want to search for something, you always visit Google. You trust Google to give good results, and that's what Google provides. I personally don't use Yahoo! Search but it is equally fine, but Google is in the dictionary, which proves it is so well known.
Reply:I use both and, also think it is a personal preference. However, I also do believe that google is considered to be better then Yahoo because more people use it than the number of people that use Yahoo.
Reply:I use google because I think it tends to come up with better and more search results to what i was looking for.
Reply:I think it comes down to personal preference. Both use different search algorhythms; maybe Google's is more effective. I personally don't care which I use for searching, but I do like the clean look of google, as well as their easy to use maps, photoalbums (picasa), and websearches for products to buy. Just seems more streamlined and "cleaner".


Http://www.google.com/webhp?so...

Can the techies out there tell me why when I click Google toobar search it goes to url http://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=nav...


Why not simply the clean url http://www.google.com ?

Http://www.google.com/webhp?so...
webhp is to specify a web search, i presume the google toolbar also lets you search/access google images from the toolbar too as there is the image search equivalent of imghp:


http://www.google.com/imghp


http://www.google.com/webhp





likewise there are similar urls for google's other services:


[news] http://news.google.com/nwshp


[shopping] http://www.google.com/prdhp





sourceid=navclient is telling google where you came from (the google toolbar) and ie=UTF-8 is telling google what character encoding you are using in internet explorer, for compatibility.





basically it's just a crafted url to direct you to the right portion of google that you requested from the toolbar.

How did google assign street names to every single street, avenue, dirt road etc...?

Just kinda curious as to how Google has been able to give every image on their google maps or google earth a street name. Did somebody have to type in the street names or what?

How did google assign street names to every single street, avenue, dirt road etc...?
The Dept. of Transportation assigns all public access roads with names, not google. And yes, the programmer had to type in all the names.
Reply:Google bought the map data from a third party company. That company aggregates map data from the same companies that publishes city maps, so the data was already there. They just put it online.
Reply:Street and road names are assigned by the political subdivision that they are in. City, county, or whatever. NOT by google.


Why is Google Maps asking for Microsoft Office 2000 Professional?

Each time I use Google Maps (http://maps.google.com), a dialog box appears, which is labeled "Windows Installer", and then another dialong box appears, saying "Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Office 2000 Professional", and then another dialog box appears, asking for the Office 2000 Professional disc, which I dont have.


My computer's operating system is Windows XP Professional, and I have Microsoft Office 2003 installed.

Why is google black today?

I've read a lot of points as to black sites using less energy on CRT monitors. But, I haven't heard the statistics of lcd monitors. Also, Google posted back in August of 2007 that they didn't have intentions of going black. Google always keeps their homepage interesting by celebrating our major holidays, I just want to know from Google why the sudden black today!

Why is google black today?
They're celebrating earth hour....trying to encourage people to turn off their lights for an hour today in order to save energy.





ps....you can go to blackle.com....it's google that's always black. Kind of fun.

Reply:Im not too sure as it doesnt appear black to me but id say its because its earth hour day today!! :)
Reply:Google's homepage is black for the users from United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada and Denmark to promote Earth Hour, an event that encourages energy conservation. "On Saturday, March 29, 2008, Earth Hour invites people around the world to turn off their lights for one hour – from 8:00pm to 9:00pm in their local time zone. (...) Given our company's commitment to environmental awareness and energy efficiency, we strongly support the Earth Hour campaign, and have darkened our homepage today to help spread awareness of what we hope will be a highly successful global event," explains Google in a special page created for the event. Earth Hour started last year in Sydney, but this year many cities from all over the world joined the event.





The purpose of the black homepage is not to save energy, but to raise the awareness of the world's environmental problems. Most people will be surprised to see Google's homepage so radically different and will start to wonder if it's a good idea to imitate Google's blackout. Sometimes small actions make a difference, but in this case the key is elsewhere.
Reply:Today is Earth Hour. Which is when everyone turns their lights OFF. to try to help save the environment by cutting down on carbon gas emmisions.





Wikipedia says:


Earth Hour is an international event that asks households and businesses to turn off their lights and non-essential electrical appliances for one hour on the evening of 29 March at 8 pm local time until 9 pm to promote electricity conservation and thus lower carbon emissions.
Reply:On the main page there is a link to their explaination.
Reply:Today at 8:00 'till 9:00, Earth hour happens. Google commemorates holidays and special days with pictures, right? Today black represents that. According to Google,


Google users in the United States will notice today that we "turned the lights out" on the Google.com homepage as a gesture to raise awareness of a worldwide energy conservation effort called Earth Hour. As to why we don't do this permanently - it saves no energy; modern displays use the same amount of power regardless of what they display.

Now, i did sign up at places for free traffic, can u please tell me sites that violate google terms %26amp; policies?


I dont have money to spend on softwares, still then ...

How do i stop cheating Google AdSense?
The sites you used to get free traffic is an example of site that can lead to your violation of Adsense TOS. They sent you a warning after you used the site, so that as well as other auto-surf, pay-to-surf, pay-to-read or pay-to-click sites are against the rules. Any site that promises you free traffic or those "100,000 visits for only $29.99" are low quality traffic that can get in you big trouble with Adsense.





I suggest you concentrate in getting traffic from more acceptable methods such as:





- creating quality content so people would want to go to your site


- getting high search engine rankings


- press releases (there are free press releases around)


- article submissions
Reply:You all know what?


I shouldn't have asked the question at all.


Traffic exchange programs don't violate Adsense terms at all


Autosurf programs do.


GOT THAT? Report It

Reply:Well thats your problem right there, you signed up for free traffic. Its like signing up for spam, almost all traffic sites are not legit and provide you with invalid traffic and clicks. Otherwise Google and Yahoo and so on wouldnt be so popular if everybody signed up for free traffic. The Google system is advanced enough to identify a fake from a valid click. I would check to see if you can cancel any of your free traffic memberships.

Why Shouldn't Google Answers Let People Ask Questions About Google?

I recently wrote an article about how Google Answers won't allow people to ask questions about Google ( more here, http://blog.searchenginewatch.com/blog/0... ). At the end of it, I asked people to come here and answer whether this should be changed. How about people already at Yahoo Answers. Don't you think this should be allowed. Is there any good reason for Google to not allow this? Yahoo Answers doesn't prevent asking questions about Yahoo on it.

Why Shouldn't Google Answers Let People Ask Questions About Google?
If you fully understood how Google Answers works, and is different from Yahoo Answers, this policy would be understood. Here is how Google Answers works:





1) Individuals from all over the world are chosen to be official researchers. They do not work for Google and are not employed by Google. Instead, they are the equivalent of webmasters who use Google Adsense. They get paid by Google for their services, but are not unique and do not have any additional information about Google. They are simply experts in various fields who, collectively, could answer just about any general question posed on Google Answers.





2) The rules for a researcher are simple. They are to USE the Google search engine to research the question asked. Then, answer the question. AND explain what searches on Google led to the answer. In other words, the whole purpose of Google Answers researchers is to eventually help people to help themselves. Rather than Google Answers just becoming a repository of questions and answers, it is a repository of how to properly conduct searches on Google in order to find the answer for yourself.





3) When someone posts a question, they set a price they are willing to pay. When a Google Answers researcher satisfactorily answers the question, the researcher is paid a majority of that price. A small fee is deducted for the service itself. The end result is, people are paying other people to do their Google searches for them. It's a very legitimate business, since a lot of people are mostly clueless about the right words or phrases to enter into a search box to give them what they are truly looking for.





4) So, now to the point. If Google allowed people to ask questions about Google itself, you might get questions like, "How can I sign up for Gmail?" A researcher could then respond, "You can visit www.gmail.com and click the link to enter your cell phone number. An invitation code will be sent to your cell phone via text message." The problem is, over time, people could be confused into thinking that Google Answers is actually a place to ask GOOGLE how to use their services. And if people have to PAY for these answers, it would APPEAR as though Google was charging money for general support for their own free services. So, Google is absolutely justified in protecting themselves AND unsuspecting users by disallowing their researchers (and Google) from profiting from those who are really just looking for general support from Google.





5) Aside from the fact that it would eventually make Google look bad, as mentioned in #4, there is another problem. If someone asks, "How can I sign up for Writely?" A researcher could then respond, "You can check on eBay. There are invitations for Writely being sold for a dollar each." The problem is, this answer is against Google's general philosophy. Google doesn't like the idea of people "selling invites" because it makes an otherwise "free service" profitable. It is along the same lines as open source or freeware authors allowing people to freely distribute their software or source code, but DISALLOWING people from charging money for it. The problem is, if a unsuspecting user visits a Google website (Google Answers) and sees this seemingly official answer, it will appear as though Google is fully authorizing this type of activity. Rather than having to police every single question themselves, trying to be sure that no question may be misleading to users or may misrepresent Google as a company, it makes complete sense to simply disallow paid questions about Google. After all, they would much rather users get answer about Google FOR FREE through their own support pages. And, if the answer to the user's question cannot be found, they can always ask Google directly through the various means of contacting support.





Why this same policy doesn't likely apply to Yahoo Answers (though it might,) is likely because there aren't financial transactions being made on Yahoo Answers (that I am aware of, at least.) It is points based. Secondly, it is community driven. Anyone and everyone can answer questions, not just specifically selected researchers. One may very well get all the answers they need through Yahoo Answers. If not, however, or there is an absolute need for a quality answer, and you are willing to pay money for the answer, then Google Answers is a safer bet.





DISCLAIMER: I am NOT a Google Answers researcher, though I would like to become one. So, just in case you think I am just trying to defend Google Answers because I am a paid researcher, I will reiterate that I am not a Google Answers researcher. I am just familiar with the service and how it differs from Yahoo Answers and why it is very important for Google to have the policy that they do. It's not only to protect their image, but to protect their users.

"They are to USE the Google search engine to research .."


Actually, they can use any resources on-line and off,

There were cases when GAR called some company


to refine an answer about a product or service. Report It

Reply:I don't find this justification satisfying. Google could instead have the researchers write a disclaimer at the bottom of their answer. I'd like to be able to ask Google answers 'Why is it that the gmail server is so slow so often?' and get pointers to the relevant public information on the web. Report It

Reply:This is ridiculous, Google should not give themselves special treatment in this case. Huge bias. :)
Reply:As much as I love google and the services they provide, this is pretty lame. It's pretty much the same kind of whack usage restriction that microsoft so often pushes on its users. Wake up google, you're slowly becoming the guy you used to hate...
Reply:As Google’s various projects make it ever more pervasive in our online lives they need to become more sensitive to their trustworthiness is perceived. If they seem deceptive or deceitful the eventual backlash could be overwhelming.





The company’s catchphrase should be amended to “Don’t be evil or stupid.”





Equivocating and evading like a politician isn’t going to dim the incipient paranoia with which some people regard Google.





Sure, they should answer questions and with transparency.
Reply:I am from Egypt, and this attitude from Google is not unlike many of the middle-eastern presidents. To appear democratic, they now let you say what ever you want, criticize the government and politics as much as you like, but never, never, question any thing the president is doing.





That's why I was amazed when I saw this hilarious video clip of Colbert ridiculing Bush's actions *in front* of Bush and the press corr:





http://video.yahoo.com/video/search?p=co...





If that was in the middle-east, the president's response would most likely have been like this:

In conclusion, Google is the president of the Internet, you can't talk about the president, that is the Google democracy.

DISCLAIMER: I work for yahoo, and frequently critcize Google on my blog:





http://www.awadallah.com/blog/
Reply:Interesting article. Actually, I've answered a couple of questions about Yahoo! incorrectly here and it really infuriated one of those people. She assumed that I was actually part of customer care.





More people than you think probably do that, so I can understand why one of Google wouldn't want one of their paid researchers telling people anything about Google when they really don't know anything more than what they can find on the web. Do you know if it was always like this or if there were some misunderstandings early on that caused this rule to be added? It does seem like something that would create a lot of confusion, and if Google isn't equipped to deal with it that's there problem.





Of course, Yahoo! Answers is just the opposite. They know their customer care isn't always that great so they don't mind much letting other people share the info. It's a great idea since those help pages can be really hard to read sometimes.
Reply:maybe,


because they don't want to waste their time
Reply:Danny,





I got the same answer you where talking about on your pod cast, they took my question out and I went back and forth with them in a bit of heated exchange. My questions was about, how should I submit a site-map to google, if I am not able to access my yahoo store's sub domain, to place the site-map file, which google requires you to do. I was looking for an honest work around. I put down that I would pay $200 because I did not want to waste time. Well they took the question right off.





So the answer to your question is "Corporate Paranoia". Oh, and that whole "Don't be evil" motto, went out the door, when they so rudely shut the door in my face and told me to look it up in their help pages.

Reply:I'm not sure what the exact question was, but I'm sure they have a reason for what they did. Yahoo Answers is a community forum where the people answer questions. Its a very free forum for all ages.





Maybe google has their own terms. It looks like this google answers is a site where you ask a question to professionals who try to give you factual answers. You cant ask a Foot Doctor if the cancer on your hand is going to go away. But you can ask friends, family, or people who might have had the experience some advice about it. This feels like the same scenario. Yahoo Answers is a COMMUNITY forum. Youre not asking professionals a question, you are asking the advice ffrom actual people.





If people actually read the disclaimer and the TOS, then they shouldnt be surprised at whatever the forum does. Google is a very informative search engine. They are focused on getting facts for people who want answers. Because of the anal people who sometimes sue companies for stupid reasons, Google has the right to tell a person that they can not ask things that might be used against them if the answers are wrong. Maybe the question asked was something outside of what the contractors working for that site can answer and it was something that needed FACTUAL answers. Some of googles products are money making and they are considered a part of a business, wrong information can lead to problems if the answers are wrong. Google has an obligation to set guidelines over whatever they think would be best for their users.
Reply:I think that companies that play a major part in the internet society like Google need to be very open, transparent and democratic. To not allow questions about your own company does not fit in the spirit of open inquiry that is the very core of the internet.


Why did Google discontinue its Answers site?

The answers provided by Google's experts were far superior to the answers provided by Yahoo's masses. For instance, I asked a really specific question about removing an abondoned mobile home, the answers went like:





Yahoo: start an accidental fire ...





Google: 5 paragraphs citing N.C. property law





I wish Google hadn't stopped its service.

Why did Google discontinue its Answers site?
There is no doubt that Google provided a superior service, but enough people did not participate in it, and Google was charging for service. Yahoo is free, and while not everyone participating is a technical expert, enough people are that you will eventually get a really good answer. You will also get some really dumb answers, also.
Reply:yahoo beat them in the Answers game fair and square. in terms of getting the wrong answers, maybee your not phrasing the questions proplerly. jUst give it time,

How much is Google Answers forecast to generate in revenue for Google in 2006 and 2007?

I would like a percentage breakdown of the revenue from Google's


various business operations.


I am interested in the split between revenue from AdWords and AdSense,


and any other revenue streams.


I would also like to know how much Google Answers is forecast to


contribute to Google's revenues for 2006 and 2007.

How much is Google Answers forecast to generate in revenue for Google in 2006 and 2007?
The answer would be $0. Google Answers does not exist - to the best of my knowledge. It's Yahoo Answers that you're posting to.

How long has google earth been out?

Maddie on Google?

have heard that the McCanns are striking a deal with Google to have Maddies eyes on their logo. although I really do care about Maddie and I am certainly not a McCann hater, I am not sure on this latest move. Maddie on Google? She needs finding desperately, each day that goes by could be a day of torture and pain for her - but what about all of the other kids?? They are not on Google. They are not featured daily in the news. The McCanns need to concentrate on perhaps setting up a charity and pouring in all funds into it, and employing private detectives or whatever it takes - to find ALL of these poor children that are missing.


Having said all that, if my daughter was missing I am damn certain I would concentrate on finding purely her, and her alone. It just seems a bit of a kick in the teeth for all other missing, abused etc etc kids.


PLEASE dont reply just to slate the McCanns - that is NOT why I was writing this. Adults only please!

Maddie on Google?
Well in a way it is a good idea to get even more publicity - but I agree that the site should be used for all missing children as it is a worldwide site!


Maybe it will be used for others as well from now on hopefully?!


And if it helps find one child then that is a good thing I guess!


To me it is like putting missing kids' faces on milk bottles in the United States of America!


I guess now they have thought of it - it could be utilised for all the missing kids worldwide!


If kids have been taken by anyone other than a paedophile this might be a very good way to get them back - the'other parent' for example may be able to run but not hide if we are all looking out for the children who have been snatched - and they cannot lock them away for ever!
Reply:Hey, don't leave your child alone while you go out and maybe she wouldn't be missing!
Reply:How is just her eyes being on their going to help find her? Yes she has that defect in her eye but honestly I do not walk up to children and look in their eyes and well if she was just any kid playing at the park or walking by me even if I spoke to her I would likely not notice it. I didnt notice it in any of her photos except the close up of her eye. I just think this has gone to far and people are going to start opening their own eyes and see the parents for who they are and what harm I think they are doing. If she was indeed abducted those who did it must be having quite a laugh. I agree..using the money to look for other missing children would be much better served then carrying on two homes while you are not working. I dont see how a million dollar villa is needed. They could find something cheaper and use the money to help other parents who are not of their class find their missing child.
Reply:http://www.missingkids.co.uk/


Admittedly, the children on the above site are older than Madeleine and a lot of them have been taken by a parent. But they're still missing! And getting no coverage.


There isn't even a link on the official find Madeleine site.





Sorry, I digress... Google shouldn't get involved, they could end up making a rod for their own back, it's only a matter of time before something similar happens, then those parents are going to want similar treatment. Eventually, they'll have to say no, then leave themselves open to attack, ie. "You did it for the little white girl". I also believe that the Pope was wrong to grant an audience, for the same reason.
Reply:Its extremely selfish firstly to have their child stolen by FRANKLY asking for it and secondly use everything in the public domain that can captivate to highlight this girls plight.





I was watching T.V. yesterday and saw the ad on Five US


which I supposed was free ad space from channel 5 showing


the same clip with Zoe Wanamakers voice attached and I honestly thought OMG?


This is an implosion of middle class Jam and Jerusalem Dads Army esque from a retreat in Northern England on the masses delivered by the Mamma Media. Did we see this before on TV paid for us? oh yes ...party political broadcast...Is this the english that we all know and love? no...this is something completely new....


I find them utterly controlling of everything that is in my domain ...ebay, the news, tv and now google? and you know what is this ever going to be about the charities who have existed pre Madelaine for the sake of other missing children?? doubt it.....because when the media fades on this story it will not be resurrected....The public have been very generous to in my opinion a very critical set of parents in their regard to the copious support they have recieved and the small amount of criticism that they could not divulge with in the first few days even with the media in their face a direct sincere we made a mistake!





The media never did this before and before of their complete lack of sympathy for this adorable darling they seem utterly defunct in the face of the McCanns





In addition to the aforementioned fundraising ideas they are asking for banners on companies websites but only if you become a sponsor...no not anyones ordinary homepage....


and Jessops are now supporting this cause......





TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION





This campaigning abosultely stinks of selfishness and hypocrisy - see it people for what it is and not what it might be...Look at what they are doing and where the real effort lies...and for those out their that say to me that this is about their daughter...where is the proof? "Oh" Gerry will say .. "we grieve in private" Ye sthe mother looks pained and yes this is normal But REMEMBER this what are these people referring to and whom everyday ...the POLICE





Yes boys and girls ..ladies and gentlemen sorry to pull the blinds on you but behind this whole charade the police are still leading the search and investigation ....





Yes it comes back to the police and then questions should be asked how much police time has gone on this case and how much is naturally missing from other children whom the media spotlight was either non existent or faded.....





And just incase you forgot pre Team McCann who was it that shone the media spotlight on you .....Rupert Murdoch


right wing conservative type that generates this bias ....so remember Teacm McCann as you already know where the Lord giveth the Lod taketh away.....
Reply:Ive just returned for Spain where a couple of weeks ago a German lady who had been visiting Morocco reported that she had seen a young girl resembling Maddie at a petrol station, the McCanns were informed of this straight away.They have gone to Morocco today,why didn't they go straight away instead of travelling to other countries where there weren't any reported sightings?
Reply:it's rubbish to say there are no other missing children in the UK, my friends children were taken abroad by their father when her marriage broke down nine years ago. She has spoken with them five times over the phone, made numerous court appearances and was awarded custody of them but her husband refused to adhere to the court ruling. because he lives in India she has no support from the UK courts in her bid to have them returned. there are many many cases like this.


They are still 'kidnapped' children, and it's offensive to suggest only Madeleine McCann is missing


I won't hold my breath waiting for the McCanns to offer any of these families any financial assistance as and when ...
Reply:If it is good to search for one child via google etc then it should be the same to find all the missing children out there, if the McCann's are so bent on their publicity stunt then perhaps they should be dipping into their own pockets to fund their trips, sell their assets, move out to portugal, after all, when all's said and done, if they had not been away feeding their faces, this tragic case would not have happened. I still think something does not ring true with Kate McCann
Reply:I totally agree with you.
Reply:They're doing whatever they can to find their daughter; I don't see how anyone can expect them to do otherwise. Who's to say that they won't do something like you suggest, eventually, but for now, they need to concentrate their efforts on finding and bringing home their own.
Reply:Maddie isnt missing her mom is busy and shes hanging with her moms associates.


That woman on the news probably isnt her mom..
Reply:I don't think it's the right course of action.
Reply:I don't like it, and i think many others will agree.


The problem is that with so much attention focused on just one child, it inevitably distracts from other children.


To the person who said that Madeleine is very young and therefore more vulnerable than others, may i ask, at what age does a child cease to be vulnerable? 7, 11, 15?


In my opinion ALL children are vulnerable, especially when they have gone missing.


What do you say to the parent of a 13 year old who has been missing for several months? Sorry, your kid is old enough to fend for themselves?


I just wish that all this attention and money could be channelled into the welfare, of not just one child, but all children.


Of course i wish Madeleine could be found safe, but what about all the worlds children? Don't they deserve our concern %26amp; love too?





Why a thumbs down? or do you think that those other children really dont matter?


How Heartless.
Reply:The McCann's will be giving money to children's charities as soon as this sorry state of affairs is over, no matter the outcome.
Reply:if google say yes...then probably other parents of missing children will ask the same thing and then google will have to say no to them and then it will be a big debate "why did their child get on google and not mine" etc etc!





they are also opening an ebay account to sell stuff and raise money for Maddie...whatever next????





enough is enough, i want her found and i also want all those other children found! and your idea of using all that money they have to start a charity for all missing children is a great idea. i hope they do that x
Reply:Isn't there a time when we all have to say enough is enough.


Whether you support them or not this is ridiculous.


I personally pity Madeline but have little sympathy with any parent who leaves their children.





http://www.petitiononline.com/June2007/p...
Reply:This is all getting a bit much. I hope to God she's found, but that is going too far. She isn't the only missing child out there.
Reply:i completely agree some of the things theyre doing is going too far in my eyes although i do wish her safe and found soon. but to be 100% honest..i dont think she will be.
Reply:i totally agree, just when i think nothing will surprise me with what they come up with, they come up with this 'nuget'





personally, i think this will agrivate people, as you say, what about the other kids and also 'if you didn't leave them alone, you would not be in this situation now'
Reply:The question should be- why other kids are not on the news like Madeleine? They all should be on the news!





I am not upset that Madeleine is on the news, I am upset that other children are not, But it is better than having none on the news!





Who is to blame? I think the Media is to blame. Having said that, I think that this case highlighted the plight of missing children around the world.





Hope Madeleine and other missing children return safely to their family.
Reply:the fact is about 300 million people use google and madeleine will be in their face day in day out her parents do not want her face to drop out from the public and her to be forgotten about





there are no other missing children in the uk with the same circumstances as madeleine


madeleines young age makes her more vulnerable than any of the other missing children in the uk who are either old enough to have left of their own accord or known to have been taken by a relative





i know what your saying about it being a kick in the teeth for other missing children but the only reason madleine gets so much publicity and all of these things is because her parents have lead a very clever campaign whether people agree with their methods the fact is they are still talking about them and thinking of madeleine
Reply:Totally agree - This is one of the reasons they are so disliked. WHAT ABOUT ALL THE OTHER KIDS THAT HAVE GONE MISSING SINCE ???? Why should Maddy have all the attention???





Yes I want to see the report say she's back safe %26amp; well, but what about all the other kids that do not have so 'well connected parents'.
Reply:very good point ,it must be hard on those other mums and dads of other missing kids,and yes i would be looking for my girl if she was missing.in one way we have to try understand that all that is the mccanns minds is maddy, i do not agree on what they did though with this tour and no i dont hate them how can i ??i dont even know them.


seemly there was other kids that went missing the same day as maddy they made small headlines though and it was along side the news of maddy they appeared.


hard to know why this case is so big but i dont think it will be solved just yet.....but in time the truth will come.


and yes they should be hiring private i. to help them and i though the money was going to a charity that helps to find other missing kids too, is it not?
Reply:I aggree. But i have to say that i think its entirely inapropriate for google to have maddies eyes on their page. People use google for everyday things. We would all like Maddie and every lost person to be found but i think some things are just too much. The world keeps turning and life goes on, atleast for the rest of us.
Reply:I quite agree with you
Reply:good idea - how much do you personally donate to missing children charities then?? - please let us know.
