They were ok before November, my going in the toilet was a temporary
thing. Don't forget, we only got into this at all about my position
for seo consultant
because of my responding to all that crap Dave has about me on one of
his blogs.

All I am saying is enjoy it while it lasts. As you weren't in the top 20's
if I recall for SEO consultant even then. You only started improving better
since you removed all that stuff that wasn't related and those links.
Nothing is permanent. We hope it will be but you can never rely on such
things. So enjoy it.:-) Also we got into this as what you keep posting here
with these results. I think you have done it 5 times already.

So when and were was this so we can check it out as I don't recall
reading Google mentioning validation?

Was it this page that no longer exists
http://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html

Today-

Check for broken links and correct HTML.

That's as close as it gets to validation and that is not saying
validate, that's the same advice I go by.

http://www.google.com/support/webmas...y?answer=35769
Check for broken links and correct HTML.

I have a feeling bill has been making this up all along!! If not use
the Wayback machine to find the page Google states validation is
required.

You know bill, wanting something to be true badly enough doesn't make
it true. Now remember children lying is wrong and hurtful to those we
care about, so lets all have a big care bear hugsy and make bill feel
better :-)

Very bad analogy!

So by your care bear theory this site http://mattcutts.com/blog/ is
crap-

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...doctype=Inline

Haven't you quoted from this site before?

Your theory is a joke bill just like you.

Here's some more crap according to you

I know what you are trying to say, it just isn't correct German.

I know what it means you just did not write it down in correct German.

Weise is a common type for Weiss, the color White.

Der Weise translated into English as is, would mean 'wise man'.

Oder willst du mir sagen dass das doch der Fall ist? Du brauchst mir
nicht zu glauben, aber dein Deutsch ist genau so
verbesserungsbedürftig wie dein Englisch. Die Übersetzungen die Du
machst sind eher Babbelfish würdig, aber absolut kein richtiges
Deutsch.

If you meant 'weise' as a translation of 'way to much' it should have
been:

Viel zu viel Luft und Raum im Kopf. Or short: Hohlkopf

Soweit die Lektion Deutsch.

I know Weiss is white. Weisse can be white but not Weise. Sorry, but it has
to be the double "s". And I will ask my friend tomorrow just to make sure.

Der Weise translated into English as is, would mean 'wise man'.

Not according to my Collins German Dictionary I have 2 a pocket one and a
large one.

I feel my English is just fine, and my Deutsch I get by here.:-) So, I won't

have with them.

Yes, I know Babelfish doesn't translate language very well. Why I checked it
in the dictionary.

>If you meant 'weise' as a translation of 'way to much' it should have

No I meant Weise as "in a way", I could not use Weg, as it isn't a "way"
like a road. Or Weg like away or gone.

>Viel zu viel Luft und Raum im Kopf. Or short: Hohlkopf

So you are saying much to much air and space in the head.

That isn't what I was saying. Weise means "in a way". It is correct and the
zu veiler is too much. Luft would not be capital as I wasn't meaning
oxygen/gas air but plain air. But Like I aid I will check with my German
friend's and also send you the part of the dictionary where it states it if
you must see it. I mean I can scan it.:-)

>Soweit die Lektion Deutsch.

You can keep your lesson as I will stick to what I said as to me that is how
it would be translated. In a way Bill has to much air and space in the head!
I will continue my own lessons with German I have 2 lesson books I have and
some CD's. :-)

I could be wrong, but it hasn't been what I have seen when shopping. The
items are not capitalized on the sale plaque. I probably am wrong on that. I
am just going by what I see here. And the language here is slang, even for
the pronounciations of words.

Actually wasn't plural. I was meaning it to be possessive. I would get my
friend's advice. "apostrophe"(I couldn't resist either.:-))

Where is "here"? I thought you were in Germany?
As for sale plaques: I have no idea what they look like in Germany,
but it's not literature, has no grammar, and therefore: don't count
;-)

There's nothing in that sentence or the one before or after to
indicate you were talking about advice, but anyway:
"I will check with my German friend's".
You're not saying you were gonna check with your friend's advice?

> "apostrophe"

Yup, you're right about that one.

You know, I had it capitalized in the original sentence. So, I was right in
the first time I wrote it.:-)

BTW weise does mean wise. I did find it and when used it means wise as in
age. According to my book. But it has to be no capital. Weise with the
capital is a noun meaning manner, in a way. If it is changed to "weisen" it
would change into a verb and mean "show". So everything that I have looked
in is stating Weise is way for the in a way manner.

There are many words that are spelled the same and some that are confusing.
:-) Took me years to hear the sound to know the different between Church and
cherry.:-)

A couple of weeks ago I was telling my friend about the hedgehog my dog
brought into the house. Well she nor the rest at the table didn't know the
word hedgehog and I didn't know the German word for it. Finally after trying
to explain the prickly rolled up ball thing she said oh that is like your
"eagle", but it is pronounced egal. So, it will be something I will
remember.:-)

Yeah, I am in Germany. The Eifel area where they pronounced Bitburg -
Bitbursh. And if you go to Bitburg they pronounce Wittlich with the ch a
hard like a k but your tongue in the back of the throat. Here(just about 25K
from Bitburg) Wittlich the ch is like ish. So you learn to pronounce it one
way and then go somewhere else and they look at you funny. It is like Spain,
you can't speak Mexican Spanish there. They don't understand it all the way.
Nor was I expecting a tortilla to be a flat egg rolled up with stuff in it.
Yuck!

When I was here in Germany before I live in the Hunsrück area for 7 years,
and they spoke differently there also. To many hard dialects here in these
parts of Germany.

Yeah, I know. That was one of those mistakes where you think it but don't
write it. Everyone had to have done that before.:-)

It is all done in fun and I don't take anything hard from people:-) That is
the way I am. I grew up with a mean brother taking the Mickey until he left
home.
