New changes to the Nerd engineNew changes to the Nerd engineSeptember 10, 2008 4 Total Comments I've disabled a number of the sites that the Nerd searches based upon their performance projections from last week. I'll continue watching their projections and can very easily add them back. There's one more that I may disable depending on how it's projections go this week. I've reviewed today's search index and they're not that far off so I'll give them another week.
Commentsgreat site! but why hasn't colston disappeared from the rankings yet? Thanks VitaminJ. Garbage in...garbage out. I noticed that as well and am working on some more sanitizing of the data. I have a current list of injuries that I'm working on and will be bringing in shortly. More to follow! Removing sites for one week of bad projections seems drastic and seems to me like it could be counterproductive if the site just happened to have a bad week. I realize you only temporarily remove inaccurate sites until they prove themselves worthy, but I would guess that Week 1 projections are, in general, wildly inaccurate. What about introducing a weighting system were the more accurate sites are more heavily weighted in the overall ranking than less accurate sites. As the year-to-date accuracy changes per site the weightings could and should change. Never mind my previous comment.
