Yes but the marginal difference is that they don't add value. I've ended up on their site often enough because I knew exactly what I was looking for and it came up higher in the index on their site, to find the non-stylus site I would have had to look further down in the index. When I ended up on their site the layout of the meaningful content was bad, obscured by an Ad. Links were placed into the site. in at least a couple places I thought, ahh a relevant link I will follow, but of course the link is never relevant it is somewhere to a small topic in their site and that topic has no links elsewhere but on their site, therefore there is nothing that gets you anywhere relevant. If they produced relevant content I would not find it irritating but they didn't. I am somewhat of the suspicion that more relevant links have been removed from content (although I have not tested) Google Adds value, Stylus Studio subtracts it and tries to imply that the value that is there is associated with them. This has been for me a minor annoyance, I can see how other people find it highly objectionable though. Of course now that I think of it, I am actually getting mad about it. I suppose I should start to look further down in the index when I see a stylus studio link. Cheers, Bryan Rasmussen On 6/22/07, Michael Kay <mike@s...> wrote: > > I don't like this > > strategy.
