Now Google will show more sitelinks in the search results, so that the visitors can go directly to the useful pages of that top site. Google announced that it is becoming very popular to the visitors and for this reason they have decided to show eight sitelinks instead or four. They have changed their algorithms to fulfill this purpose. According to Google, eight sitelinks will give a good overview of that particular top site’s content and will also help the visitors to access more topic or areas of the top site.

Is your business dependent on Google? Have you ever thought what will be the condition of your business if your site is banned by Google? If your business is fully dependent on Google ranking then it’s not good for the health of your business.
Yes, it’s true that Google is internet’s most renounced Search Engine and it has good interface of judging quality websites but still what will you do if Google banned your well ruled and perfectly legitimate website? Nothing you can do except sending e-mail to them. You can’t call or sue them. They are not even responsible to answer your e-mail.
So, it’s better to think about that possibility and to take necessary steps through which you don’t have to depend on Google.
What are the steps you can take to be independent in the internet?
- Social Media
- Forums
- Links
- Advertisement
2) Social Media: Try to involve your site in Social Media. There are many social networking sites and social bookmarking sites available in the internet. So aim at that huge section of visitors.
3) Community: Community is very important to make your site popular as well as independent. If you can run successful forums in your website then you are definitely not dependent on Google. You have your own identity in the internet.
4) Links: Links are another way of getting good number of visitors. It may not be in huge numbers, but if you have huge links then you can expect good no. of visitors.
5) Advertisement: You can give advertisement in popular websites. It is a good way of getting visitors without depending on Google.
Recently we have found, lots of sites lost their Page Rank in the current page rank update by Google. Experts say, sites which have lost their PR, maximum of them sell links.
But now the question arises how Google determines which sites sell links?
We can remember the article “Why should I report paid links to Google?” And in that article one link named “Report paid links” was live. People were asked by Google to report sites which sell or buy links. Thousands of sites had been reported by people. After having the list of sites reported by people Google probably asked some of his employees to check manually whether these sites involved in link selling or buying.
Here is a screen shot of the form of reporting paid links:
The penetration of Internet in India being high, the biggies have started recognizing Indian festivals. It’s obviously a part of business networking and relationship building. The post “Orkut wishes Happy Diwali to all its members” has illustrated how Orkut, one of the popular social networking websites in India, has wished Indians on Diwali.
Now, Yahoo! is not lagging behind. Yahoo! India interface is showing dazzling candle images and animated fireworks. Yahoo! has wished Happy Diwali in the perfect Yahoo! way – the Yahoo! logo at the top-left corner has been modified for Diwali; as it is usually done during any special events and festivals.
AOL is also up to celebrate Diwali. They have added a nice candle icon beside their logo on AOL India home page.
Hence, it is clear that Internet Marketers has understood how prospective Indian market is. All the major search engines are supposed to give each other a tight fight here in India and it seems they all are ready for the battle.
Happy Diwali once again!
The ranking of the page is influenced by the frequency of the page and its content change. The algorithm of Google tries to differentiate between the superfluous and literal content change. If the change of your web page is small, it won’t effect too much on search ranking. But if you change content for new search terms or re-design your web page then SEs might re-calculate your ranking.
For changed web pages google has a filter, which it applies temporarily to your web sites. Google’s algorithm possible takes in consideration the following changes of web page changes:
1) Frequency of your web page changes,
2) Quantity of the change,
3) Change in the keyword density
If your web page is already in high search ranking then you must take lot of care while changing it.
There was a time when people rarely used more than one computer and now people rarely use only one computer. Almost everybody access to Internet from different terminals and devices. The problem is, with a POP access, the changes made to emails from one device are not synced across the others. If an email is moved to starred folder from iPhone, the user will still see it in Inbox while accessing the email account from desktop.
Now IMAP is here to solve this problem. IMAP – Internet Message Access Protocol would update email information though out all the devices and changes made from one would be reflected in all. Gmail team has started rolling it from October 24, 2007. Find more information about IMAP and Gmail at Gmail: Help Center and Official Gmail blog.
Even after its active support to provide high resolutions pictures during the recent Forest Fire raging in California, Google Earth is being questioned based on risk factors associated with satellite imaging.
The Times of India reported that Palestine militants in the Gaza Strip are using Google Earth for planning rocket attacks in Israel. Obviously a terrifying news, though Google has defended Google Earth saying that this is not the only source of world map online.
But the news can really sound horrifying once another related story comes under light. Google Earth has been showing Arunachal Pradesh as a part of China not India. The question is if militants plan for attacks based on such incorrect territorial lines, then the missile headed to C can devastate I anytime!
However, once The Telegraph reported the error, Google accepted it and promised a correction.
