Google now counting posts in forums, as well as authors
Doing a search on Google for the very popular (IE: big enough that Digg was forced to ban them on behalf of Microsoft) political forum Sqlspace.com, we stumbled on a new feature that we didn’t see before. Google is now showing post counts and number of individual posters.
10 posts - 5 authors - Last post: May 10, 2004
Would be an example listing on the site command
This is actually a highly useful tool to have, I hate searching for an answer… landing the the page.. and finding no one replied to the person asking the same question.
Now if I see 2 posts, and the first one being the same question.. the chances are greater than it was replied to and answered.
