This is a site review forum, so my not taking won't be so great...

It is just funny how people trash on these sites. Matt Cutts of Google has his special tools, listing off dozens of domains for a site that he has with the same content...

Now Tim from Yahoo! is put up to the challenge, a different site is presented, it does well in Google but has only three pages indexed in Yahoo! Tim is typing away. Tim says they have 395 pages of the site. She replied that they have 5,000 pages or so. Finally, Greg Boser discovers tons of sitemap link pages, with hundreds and hundreds of links on those pages. Looks kinda spammy. Matt suggests breaking the sitemaps into chronological order.

Next site looks average but seems to have a link exchange issue.

Next guy wants to rank well for a specific keyword, but the keyword phrase is not in the title or content of the site. Very basic issues with this site. Danny tells him to focus on local engines, google local.

Ok, I am done with this. Going to catch the flight back to NY now, which, yea, is delayed - of course.
