Domain search without squating?

Have you factored in inbound links?  They are votes also.

Heh. Google *is* working on it. But it's an arms race.

I, personally, have a way of measuring Google's progress. I have a
section of my site with some East Valley restaurant reviews. They are my
own reviews. They are unique content, with details, links to the
restaurant web site, etc., etc. I have made no attempt (on purpose) to
make them attractive to search engines. Instead, I've designed them for
the visitors.

Now and then I check my stats. For certain very specific queries I'm the
#1 result. For other queries I'm lower. Sometimes I'm #2 or #3 and the
pages above me are meaningless, content-free entries of restaurant
mega-sites: they scraped phonebook entries and put it on a page.

When Google puts my page below an AzCentral or Phoenix New Times review
I judge that to be proper. When Google puts me beneath a page with a
name, phone number, and address I know they have a long way to go before
they can weed out the web spam.
