I understand Google ranks its responce to a
search term or terms on the numbers of other
searches for those terms. It can be a bit
disconcerting therefore when you find one of
your items on this forum on the first page from
Google. But they do not state the number of
previous searches so I suppose it is only a
handful. Not millions which goes through your
mind

Google rank [the so-called pagerank] is based chiefly on incoming links [other sites linking to yours] and content.

A site high-rank like BAUT is visited several times a day by Googlebots, so i suppose all its content is indexed.

I don't think so .Google has helped a lot of users to locate places they are searching for and thinking that because it can zoom in your street or your house where you can be seen doing foolish things I think is a small percentage and negligible.

People uses Google Maps are interested solely in searching for places and locations they need to look into and NOT only to peep on someone's life.

Most are tame. Most are just oddities. A few could be embarrassing to their recognizable, Net-immortalized subjects.

I heard somebody on the radio the other day who brought up the possibility of the obsessed stalker/rejected lover type using this service to track down the possible hiding places of their estranged mates. Even though it's not in real time it does show habits and patterns ....and license plates.

How do I add mine?

It's a 5 storey wooden pyramid I helped build for a rich guy to meditate in. No metal allowed, only wood, plastic, and glue.
He is a millionaire from Germany. You can't quite see the gate to the 120 acre property, but it has a video intercom.
He even had us install the gas and electric meters outside the gate. That cost a quite a bit.

That was back in 1997, I don't think he foresaw images being available on the net. It would be nice if it was high-res.

I think first you'd have to wait until it was in the Google Street View database. Might be a while. The cited collection contains interesting images from street view, the new stuff.

There are other Google aerial image collections that might list it, though, like: List of interesting Google Maps satellite images. The Giza Plateau pyramids are listed; maybe the Kamloops pyramid should be listed, too.

Good examples---hmmh, just discovered I could magnify or reduce the images by moving the scroll-wheel on the top of my mouse forward or reverse, while the cursor is on the image.

You could always use JAP...

The last thing I need is a legitimized chucklehead mass mailing me with an unholy number of spam emails on these great deals.

See, as an informed online shopper, I know how to find them already. These guys can hang themselves in a server room with CAT-5 cable.
