Subject: Question


In the trademark case where I am defending the documentarists Long Bow Group against a trademark lawsuit by Jenzabar, we have received an "expert report" from an individual named Frank Farance, who claims a long pedigree of involvement in standards and specification development organizations. Mr. Farance insists that Google takes keyword meta tags into account in computing search rankings (even though Google itself has announced that its ranking algorithm does NOT support keyword meta tags). http://pubcit.typepad.com/clpblog/2009/11/jenzabar-expert-witness-claims-that-google-still-uses-keyword-meta-tags.html

I am curious whether others on the list have any comments on his report.
