I have a decent list of queries I've been collecting data on to compare once word came that a change was rolled out. This is an interesting one that I saw in a comments thread somewhere... http://www.google.com/search?hl=&q=how+to+renew+an+expired+passport&sourceid=navclient-ff&rlz=1B3GGLL_enUS382US382&ie=UTF-8 http://www.google.com/search?hl=&q=how+to+renew+an+expir... The Demand Media angle is really interesting too. I love the bit quoted in the Searchengineland article from the CEO, wondering how they got tagged with the "content farm" label. Pretty sure this is where I first saw it... http://www.theawl.com/2010/11/my-summer-on-the-content-farm http://www.theawl.com/2010/11/my-summer-on-the-content-farm

eHow still shows as number one for me in Google. It's nowhere to be found in duckduckgo. That eHow article actually seems quite helpful and straightforward. Is there a problem with it? Hopefully Google can rank the results on a case-by-case basis instead of condemning an entire site that actually has some useful material.

  This result looks the same to me as it always has - I see two eHow articles above the State Department's passport site (one on how to renew an expired passport, and one on how to renew an expired US passport in person.) While I'd agree that they are decent as far as eHow content goes, I think the Dept of State site really is a fantastic and authoritative resource that deserves to be ranked higher. The DOS isn't doing themselves any favor with that crummy title ("Passports"), but I'd have to say that this is a case of relevancy winning out over authority in a nonsensical way.
