Over the last few months, search engine submissions have changed dramatically. Now is the time to analyze the way we're submitting our Web pages and to rethink our submission strategies.
Regretfully, I still see people paying big bucks to search engine submission services who will submit their pages to thousands of search engines for one "low price." What they aren't told is that the act of "submitting" their pages has nothing to do with top search engine rankings. Even taking a step back, submitting doesn't guarantee indexing.
Question : I wrote all the content on my website which has about 40 pages of content. I also wrote all of the meta descriptions and meta keywords tags for each page. When I did this I made sure to capitalize each word. I have been told that if the words are not capitalized I may be losing visitors who do not use capital letters while searching. Is this true?
Gbrowser.com - it is a domain name that Google recently registered. This led many people to believe that Google is developing its own internet browser. This seems to be backed up by the fact that they recently hired a bunch of development heavyweights away from Microsoft and Sun.
But would Google develop its own version of the popular web browser? After all, how could they make money on it? Sure they could scroll ads across it or something like that, but would they really release their own G branded browser? Let me speculate a bit, and give you my reasoning.
Many webmasters overlook a very important aspect of web site promotion: the validity of the HTML code.
What is valid HTML code?
Most web pages are written in HTML. As for every language, HTML has its own grammar, vocabulary and syntax, and every document written in HTML is supposed to follow these rules.
Like any language, HTML is constantly changing. As HTML has become a relative complex language, it's very easy to make mistakes. HTML code that does not follow the official rules is called invalid HTML code.
The cost for pay per click advertising is on the rise. According to Jupiter Research, the average click price will jump from US$0.29 in 2003 to US$0.26 in 2004 and US$0.47 in 2009. And that's only the price for an average keyword.
The price for the top spot on Overture.com for "data recovery" is currently US$4.30 per click. Google displays an average cost pay click of US$9,10 for that keyword. That's quite a lot for a single click. But do you get what you're paying for?
I write articles like this every so often to reinforce the point of how vulnerable the internet still really is. Despite the fact that software makers work diligently to try and help protect us from ourselves, especially when it comes to the home computer.
Today, I reviewed my firewall logs for the first time in a long time.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- 10/26/2004 -- AnooX the search engine that promises to revolutionize the Search industry, by delivering far more accurate search results and much higher value to advertisers -- than Yahoo or Google, announces that it has passed the 13 Million Web site crawled marker.
How important is this milestone? Very.
Considering that dmoz.org, which is a (Key) source of search information to Google & Yahoo, has at its current operational level about 5 Million Web sites crawled. Hence AnooX at its current crawled level has crawled more Web sites than Google & Yahoo and we are still continuing with our crawling and expect to be at 25 Million web sites crawled by the time we go live. What this means is that AnooX database of information for generating search results will be very deep and complete compared to existing search engines.
It all started when Yahoo! dumped Google earlier this year in favor of its own algorithmic results. I hadn't paid much attention to Yahoo! until then (because if it was in Google, it was in Yahoo!). Sure I knew some things about it. Like getting a directory listing was difficult, to say the least. But when it comes to the finer points about Yahoo!, I was in the dark.
But when they did the switch, I started to pay more attention, obviously. Not just because they account for about 1/3 of most sites total referral traffic, although that's what initially got me looking at them, but because they also had a lot of features that I'd heard about but never used.
At the time they also released a toolbar (in beta) with a measurement called Yahoo! Web Rank, which is similar to Google's toolbar with PageRank.
With all the buzz about a possible Google browser, Google has quietly developed Google Desktop Search.
What is Google Desktop Search?
Google Desktop Search is a program that runs on your Windows computer. It allows you to search your hard disk for files. Google describes it as follows:
"Google Desktop Search is a desktop search application that provides full text search over your email, computer files, chats, and the web pages you've viewed. By making your computer searchable, Google Desktop Search puts your information easily within your reach and frees you from having to manually organize your files, emails, and bookmarks."
