Hi, I'm penning this as a response to all who have wondered about what you could do make your particular Web sites rank well with respect to Accessible Search. First off, thank you all for the tremendous amount of interest we've received --- both on various mailing lists, as well as our own feedback line. As was pointed out by many on this thread -- the FAQ on the Google site is "vague" with respect to what you can do to make your site rank as accessible --- this was intentional and *not* an omission. The reason for the intentional vagueness was that we did not wish to create yet another set of Guidelines, nor did we wish to provide specific rules that would lead to nothing more than the system being gamed over time. So to keep it simple --- do the right thing by accessibility when creating your content, follow one or more of your favorite guidelines --- my own favorite is Jakob Neillson --- and the rest will take care of itself. Thanks, --Raman -- Best Regards, --raman Title: Research Scientist Email: raman@google.com WWW: http://emacspeak.sf.net/raman/ GTalk: raman@google.com, tv.raman.tv@gmail.com PGP: http://emacspeak.sf.net/raman/raman-almaden.asc Google: tv+raman
