> A few weeks ago, you were so kind as to post my request for input  
> from list members about an affidavit from a computer expert, Frank  
> Farance, who claimed that Google relies on leyword meta tags in  
> computing search rankings, even though Google itself says that it  
> does not rely on them.  The affidavit was submitted in support of a  
> trademark suit by Jenzabar, Inc., against a group of documentary  
> filmmakers whose web site includes a page containing unflattering  
> statements about Jenzabar and its founder; the page has keyword meta  
> tags that include Jenzabar's name.
>
> The posting brought in several useful comments, both onlist and  
> privately. As I had hoped, some of the comments related to the  
> substance of the affidavit, and some private comments provided  
> insights both about Jenzabar and about Farance himself.
>
> The comments helped us prepare our own analysis of the flaws in the  
> affidavit, which has now been submitted.  It is available at http://www.citizen.org/litigation/forms/cases/CaseDetails.cfm?cID=575 
> , in case list members are interested.
