Laid Back Chat We are all friends here and sometimes we just want to chat. It doesn't have to be real estate web development all the time, some times we have a new baby in the family, sometimes we have a beef or boquet. Sit back and relax here.

Default +z57 -casio -employment +sucks

Who keeps typing this? lol I am getting a ton of referrals in my GA for that phrase, is someone not happy to be working at z57 and looking for friends in the same boat or something? I am getting a really high (Unusually high) amount of referrals from someone searching "+z57 -casio -employment +sucks" kind of funny I guess, but strange none the less.

I googled it and couldn't find REW... Am I missing something?

Found a very good blog on someone's AA IDX and SEO concerns.

At first I thought he was mentioning about the Casio z57 digital camera and its customer service sucks.
But actually he is mentioning only “z57 sucks”. (Maybe the web company!!)
The plus sign in search means explicit inclusion: +z57 +sucks
The minus sign means negation and such words must not appear on your results: -Casio -employment (this implies that he doesn’t want on his search results any site with or related to Casio or employment).
It does make sense if he is really using the signs to filtrate his results since the search for z57 sucks shows more sites related to the Casio digital cameras than the z57 website.
Just my opinion.

Yeah, I understand the operators, but they are pretty advanced, and so I figured on a select few people would only know how to do that, and out of people who might be upset with z57 (Likely realtors) I can't imagine more than one or 2 would be that advanced of Google users. This is why it surprised me, as I get a TON of referrals for that term - (And I am not even above the fold in a google search for it)
