Hi
Just looking through the HTTP referrers for one of my sites and I found something very interesting here  The Rarest Words (deserves a back link)
There isn't much there yet.

the refferer was http:// therarestwords .com/my domain .com and it showed a tabled list of all the words found on my site ranked in order of popularity right down to "The Rarest Words". Amazing stuff, very eye-opening.

They say it's "Just raw science stuff" at the moment, so who knows what kind of thing these guys are creating behind the scenes.

Worth a look if it's worth a mention!

telemundo, huh? Wonder what that means. Spellcheck doesn't recognize it, anyway.

Shouldn't be hard to rank for, but who's searching on it?

I guess it might be handy for checking for misspelled words on your own site.

What other user do you see ahead?

Regards,
Laurie.

Let me look into my Crystal Ball.......................

yes
the mist is clearing....................

I see.............

I see...........

Keyword density problems all worked out for me by someone else!

I see..........

rankings improving, but also an epic battle for rankings.

I see, a useful tool thats gonna automate a backlink from what I'm sure is going to become a high PR site one day (not tbpr).

telemundo is Spanish for something Yahoo thinks is important enough to subdomain: http://telemundo.yahoo.com/

Well, Griff: if that's what you see, then it must be a pretty good thing.

And remember, you read it first on SiteReference.

Where's theGypsy, broken hand and all?

Telemundo is an American television network based in Hialeah, Florida... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telemundo

Interesting tool... deserves at least a few minutes of testing & strategizing.

Doesn't look like it pulls up a few sites that you'd think are big enough, including Compete.com.

Many of the words that the system pulls up are word combinations, misspellings and other "strange" words.

It would be very nice to see keyword combinations included here - 2, 3 & 4 word combinations.  That would be GOLD!

Lol... my favourite word form there... smrrrrt ... as in "Im smrrrrt" hahahaha.

How do you use it though? changing words is fair enough but i dont see how it can help with backlinks or any such thing in your crystal ball? --- It keeps on saying "Great, got some more?" almost like im insulting it and its just taunting me to carry on? 

Hi guys. I'm the owner of TheRarestWords came here via backlink from logs. Thanks for the link, by the way.

Well, this project was created for a little different purpose (trendspotting), but while doing it (it survived two HDD failures with no backups...) it spread into some seo ideas too. I'd like to hear your ideas about the database usage (there are 17 millions of words there, in a little near future - they're going to be categorized to 17000 categories - the programming for that is done but it takes ages to categorize pages right now - so I'm optimizing it).

The "Im smrrrrt" is crowd wisdom from someone on site There is a lot more of it on pages - snoop around and leave your ideas too They are overwritten at the moment, but they are logged so maybe later there's going to be some kind of digg-like voting for quotes.

If you are interested in other stuff about the site - I've written in someone's blog, who's been on to me since the beginning http://mxrk.net/home/2008/5/9/the-rares … rt-ii.html

UPDATE: See rarestblog.com for more info or to give me suggestions via comments about what do you want this site to go I'm also going to spill out problems and solutions I've discovered on how to collect and use such huge databases and how to make 1 server pretend it's a big server farm capable of indexing the Internet

Indexing the internet... at home? Now thats a novel concept If you get it right you are gonna havte let us know... create your very own "offline" version of the net with weekly updates... you could make your millions... in 10 years .

From what i have read it seems like a pretty nifty project, as an addition to all the benchmarks and what not you will get from the tests you could find the actual meanings for those words, and run over wiki-pedia in the dictionary department

Very Cool mate, still dont see how it could provide back links or help in the world of SEO at the moment, but i can definitely see some benefit for blogs as far as the lingo and wording go.

Indexing the internet... at home?

Sarcasm? "Granted my methods may have been somehwat unorthodox" (The Big Bang Theory) but if you read rarestblog - I'm pretty much explaining how anyone with a little money (a couple hundreds of dollars) could do index the Internet from home nowadays (even if his Internet costs $30/GB as mine does).

I could have a a little offline copy of all main pages of Internet It's just 100 mill. pages at 17kB each (average size) so just about 1.7TB of data - that's just 2-3 HDD's with very laggy filesystem (100 mill.files would drive NTFS nuts) Again I've written most of this on the blog, so I apologize if you had to read this again.

Ok, so about the SEO stuff. I mentioned in the blog that it would be more useful to mom-and-dad business sites, rather than professionals, but who knows. The part of site you see right now - it's just fun, it was never intended to be anything useful to anybody.

Anyway, I'll spill some beans on what's going to happen in SEO field (exclusive! here). Most of these ideas are somewhat related to LSA/LSI field ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_Semantic_Indexing ), to classification algorithms and content creation.

Let's say you fire up a site - there's a textbox and you write: "Here at South Africa we see a baby elephant born" and press "categorize" (or maybe Ajax would do that) and categories pop up: 1) animal kingdom 2) south africa 3) mammals (an elephant is probably not a mammal, but stay with me). So, now you put a checkbox near "south africa" meaning - "I want it to be more related to this". And now you see: "Use words like: Tanzania, zebra, desert.." and maybe a hundred others, also with "Random rarest words in this category are: bigstompy, crossy, etc.." Where bigstompy is rare breed of elephants and crossy is the same of zebras (I'm making this all up, but still, bear with me here) - now you have something to write about (you have your knowlegde of subject) and to verify that it matches the content of other sites with that topic (the categorizer was learning from sites appearing in Google in top spots - it's algo is much complicated that matching a word to a category - that one was giving total junk results), a way to match the possible implementation of Google's LSA-LSI and you have rarest words to use (maybe with definitions from the "fun" project - I don't know the direction where it's going to end up) so that maybe your text would be the only one in the Indexable Internet that has that word (or just in Top 10). There are domains that I index that aren't there in G/Y/M indexes. And you have topics to write on (to avoid writers block) and the bigger text is - the more topics there are.

So, as you see - it would be more useful for mom-and-dad-business type sites, not for professionals, as it doesn't even touch stuff like links, which is probably the biggest things still in SEO, even though I have my doubts about that nowadays. I've written an article about my bot (therarestparser) and in just 5 hours it's showing second up on millions of logs. There's probably an explanation of that I might not know, but anyway.. I'm not any kind of prefessional in SEO stuff, so I don't know, but from what I heard from professionals - they look weirdly on me when I tell about that system and tell me it's going to be useful to somebody for sure.

Sorry for my explanation style - I'm not a professional writer or natively speaking English

Lol.... dont stress, no sarcasm... i actually liked the idea An elephant is a mammal, and i see your point clearly now.
Thanks for the in depth explanation, i definately like the idea of curing the writers block. I often find myself stuck at the first paragraph when trying to write about random topics, thus i end up scavenging wiki-pedia and google for some further light to my tunnel.

I reckon, especially for the blog world, it is a brilliant concept and idea, i am looking forward to see the completed product.

Msn is content hungry, google is Link hungry. Obviously both like content and links, its just that MSN is more appreciative of fresh content than google so you definitely have a market on the MSN side. Great stuff... i wish  my hobbies were as intricate...  my hobbies only involve paintball guns and paddle skie's

The first SEO-related stuff started to appear - is auto-categorization of your sites and "fight your site" - compare your rare/rarest words (read as: "possible low competition keywords") corpus against your competition.

See example here: http://therarestwords.com/vs/mytestbox. … kstore.com

Let me know if it's any useful. Also here is an idea that might appear in very near future: http://rarestblog.com/2008/05/seo-by-example-words/  - suggestions about it are accepted.

Can't yet rollout the real-time thing I've discussed above due to lack of server power

Seems he's been a busy beaver.... http://rarestblog.com/2008/05/auto-sewo … optimizer/

Still trying to work out a real value for it... but I haven't really had the time to play with it.... Anyone else?
