OTHER SATELLITEGUYS CONTENT OF INTEREST

This just started showing up at the bottom of most pages. Not sure how useful it is as it lists threads that are years old.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

It is something we are beta testing with Google.

There is a reason it is at the bottom of the page.

 

[dare2be]

I hope we get the option to turn it on/off.

 

[TheKrell]

Is the test over? I see no such words, much less in all caps.

[TheKrell]

Aha! Now it's showing up for me. (If that was there before, I somehow overlooked it.)

 

[Mr Tony]

noticed it right away. Very annoying!

 

[KE4EST]

I don't even notice it unless I specifically look for it. When I get down to the quick reply box I post or move on.

A lot of my time is spent in the Watched Threads list, which is usually less than a page, so I see it every time.

Unfortunately, this caused me to turn adblock back on.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Give it a week, as I said this is a special beta test for Google.

 

[dare2be]

And people turning on adblock will be a legitimate part of that beta test

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I will see if I can write code so people can turn it off. (Although I am still not 100% sure of what this does yet, or how its updated)

 

[dare2be]

Me neither. The same threads have been displayed since this afternoon at least.

Since adding it, it has given out 148,270 different recommendations. I am told it is learning now of what interests you.

I just saw a different mix in my Watch Threads, but at the bottom of this thread it goes back to the one I screenshot earlier today.

 

[dare2be]

Puerto Rico Mux is the first one in my list. Not sure how that matched anything I visited on this site, or anywhere else.

I didn't even notice it until I read this thread and then scrolled down to see what it was about. Doesn't bother me any. Puerto Rico Mux is the first one in my list too.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Same for me now.

According to Google... "One goal of Matched content is to increase user engagement. Your page RPM and other metrics might be affected by this increase."

I told them I would try it for a week. So far not impressed.

I'll be in trouble if you display what interests me....
