Isn it easy for search companies (or third parties) to filter out TMN queries?
The answer here is not straightforward; even with dynamically evolving query sets and burst-mode timing, there are data-mining and machine-learning techniques which may well be able to filter some TMN queries based on data patterns obtained from actual users. However, with the combination of randomized scheduling and query lengths, inclusion of changing terms from RSS feeds, and evolving query sets, we believe the difficulty for 3rd parties wishing to aggregate such data into accurate or identifying profiles is significantly increased.
