“iTunes preview pages rank well in Google search results because they are very search engine friendly for app names. The URL, page title, meta description, meta keywords, and the H1 tag are all loaded with the app name. These pages also have lots of incoming links from every blog entry, review, and so on that uses the iTunes link. I suspect that the Playboy app comes in at #7 because of all the recent news and opinion articles that link to the app as an example of a big publisher that escaped the iTunes sexy app purge.

I guess they’re gonna publish a statement tomorrow saying that you can’t blame inspiration. And of course, we won’t believe that.
But you know, worst part is Mozilla could have used some copy for Firefox – next time choose wisely which project to rip off for.

Interesting post over at Cocoia’s blog. It’s true, uninstalling flash precludes you to a lot of content on the current web – so you keep it installed on your computer.
And that’s exactly Adobe’s strongest point in why you shouldn’t uninstall Flash.
