In general I agree with you about a lot of keyword specific content pages being generated to game Google. However, I wouldn't count Google out just yet. Their algorithims can also incorporate social metrics. For example, they already track how long someone stays on a page before coming back to try another search result. If the page is low quality and the searcher comes back in seconds its ranking will be lower. I'm sure Google will find countless other ways to incorporate social metrics too.]]> Mon, 14 Dec 2009 15:26:36 -0500

If the low risk folks that never default end up with higher utilization ratios then why would a scoring model penalize someone else for having a similar credit profile? The model will look for differences in credit profiles that are predictors of default. If credit utilization ratios rise across the board that does not become a differentiating factor for prediction of default.

The models are constantly being tweaked and will change with the times - though I don't know how long this takes. It would be interesting to have a FICO expert weigh in, but these folks are tight lipped due to proprietary nature of the biz.]]> Fri, 27 Mar 2009 14:01:57 -0400

I agree with your argument that the Fed is making the country awash with dollars that - if left unchecked - will lead to inflation. However, once the crisis is averted can't they just sop up dollars just as easily as they printed them? ]]> Tue, 04 Nov 2008 15:52:05 -0500
