Pity that doctors say it's not good for you. In fact, there's a funny saying that "Everything that is good is either illegal, immoral or fattening." Shoot.. Also, ribeye is my favorite too. While not as tender as a tenderloin, pun intended?, it has a whole heck of a lot more flavor. I agree, there is nothing better than red meat,or rather a good steak.

Whether this is pat of the manual Panda update for quality, or the ongoing algo that updates in real-time is not well documented. However, here are a few sources. http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2064047/Maximizing-Your-CTR-for-SEO-in-Organic-Results "While maximizing clicks in organic search results is enough of a reason to care about this, it becomes even more important when we consider the search engine algorithms. Bing uses CTR as a ranking factor in organic search results, and there's every reason to believe Google also does. Consider the words of Edmond Lau, a former member of the Google search quality team (bolding is mine): "... using click and visit data to rank results is a very reasonable and logical thing to do, and ignoring the data would have been silly." http://www.coconutheadphones.com/does-google-use-click-through-rate-as-an-organic-ranking-factor-answer-maybe/ "Don’t get me wrong – I still believe in PageRank and all the other factors we all know and love – I just think CTR is the biggest factor Google is probably using that is all but ignored by the SEO community." http://searchengineland.com/seotable - SEO Ranking Factors "Do visitors spend time reading or do they bounce away quickly?" http://www.stonetemple.com/search-algorithms-and-bing-webmaster-tools-with-duane-forrester/ Duane Forrester: Sr Product Manager at Bing "That’s what we are doing. As that number continues to increase, if you show the average click position, correlating a similar increase, you start to get an idea that we are increasing our trust in this result and in you for this query. We are not going to move you higher if we don’t think you are worth being higher."

"Google is now looking at things like bounce rates, time on site, CTR, and other signals to help them figure out which pages should ranked for a search query." I have heard it from the horse's mouth (GoogleWebmasterHelp on youtube) that they don't use this data as a signal. Please site your resources. where did you get this idea? “Google is now looking at things like bounce rates, time on site, CTR, and other signals to help them figure out which pages should ranked for a search query.” I have heard it from the horse’s mouth (GoogleWebmasterHelp on youtube) that they don’t use this data as a signal.

It just warmed my heart and made me feel proud to be a resident in this fine county. My best friend's son is also in the Boy Scouts so I understand the long hours and dedication. I really think it's a remarkable achievement and something to be extremely proud of. Thank you, you've inspired me to continue reaching for my goals, and I will. No problem, it was my pleasure.
