Take for example that you are selling various models of camera like Nikon D60 Nikon D90&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="" name="Cameras"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cameras&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The code for this heading is &amp;lt;a name=”Cameras”&amp;gt; Cameras&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="" name="Nikon_D60"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nikon D60&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The code for this heading is &amp;lt;a name=”Nikon_D60”&amp;gt; Nikon D60&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="" name="Nikon_D90"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nikon D90&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The code for this heading is &amp;lt;a name=” Nikon_D90”&amp;gt; Nikon D90&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I can link to each of these within the current page (Click on the highlighted links)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://blog.webspaceindia.net/2011/08/jump-to-links-in-google-search.html#Cameras"&gt;Cameras&lt;/a&gt; (Code is &amp;lt;a href=”http://blog.webspaceindia.net/2011/08/jump-to-links-in-google-search.html#Cameras”&amp;gt; Cameras &amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://blog.webspaceindia.net/2011/08/jump-to-links-in-google-search.html#Nikon_D60"&gt;Nikon D60&lt;/a&gt; (Code is &amp;lt;a href=”http://blog.webspaceindia.net/2011/08/jump-to-links-in-google-search.html# Nikon_D60”&amp;gt; Nikon D60&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://blog.webspaceindia.net/2011/08/jump-to-links-in-google-search.html#Nikon_D90"&gt;Nikon D90&lt;/a&gt; (Code is &amp;lt;a href=”http://blog.webspaceindia.net/2011/08/jump-to-links-in-google-search.html# Nikon_D90”&amp;gt; Nikon D90&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Because I’ve now got links pointing to sections within the page, Google should show a Jump To link in the search results.&amp;nbsp;It also follows that you get a landing page from organic search result which you can use to drive traffic to the specific page and from there a direct call to action. Conversion of jump-to links is definitely worth considering – in some cases you are directing someone to may be the bottom most part of your page. If this is the case you need to ensure that you have conversion attributes in place no matter where they are in your page. A simple solution is to use a Fixed Position Div displaying contact details, a query form, shopping cart, etc. this will float up and down the page as the user scrolls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;These jump-to links are relatively new and most people haven’t seen much of them yet in terms of converting a Google search into a click. In current scenario, its relative freshness and inattentiveness of SEOs to harness this attribute has resulted in the fact that the CTR of a search listing which includes a jump to link is measurably higher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Do ‘Jump To’ Links have any impact on SEO results and SERPs? Not that one can be sure of, but it stands to reason that if you are optimizing one page for multiple keywords Jump To links may have a positive effect on your rankings. It also means that a user will be more prompted to click on these ‘Jump To’ links to go directly to the query he/she is looking for in the first place. This invariably will mean that probability of more traffic and depending upon the interface of the page more goal conversion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1668388978777350632-4528820143480361738?l=blog.webspaceindia.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.webspaceindia.net/feeds/4528820143480361738/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1668388978777350632&amp;postID=4528820143480361738' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1668388978777350632/posts/default/4528820143480361738'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1668388978777350632/posts/default/4528820143480361738'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.webspaceindia.net/2011/08/jump-to-links-in-google-search.html' title='Jump to Links in Google Search'/><author><name>Chandra81</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07564248571655551092</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EkHtnIU8hOU/TgtauVkN2CI/AAAAAAAAA6U/ExSS9PCAmKI/s220/Nikhil.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><georss:featurename>New Delhi, Delhi, India</georss:featurename><georss:point>28.635308 77.22496000000001</georss:point><georss:box>28.405279999999998 76.9810245 28.865336 77.46889550000002</georss:box></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668388978777350632.post-404758679915280991</id><published>2011-03-28T02:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-28T02:59:24.911-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='social networking'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Facebook'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='news'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='social media'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hindu god'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='religion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hate'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='free speech'/><title type='text'>Free Speech &amp; Social Media: How Far Is Too Far?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;It seems filing frivolous FIRs against Facebook is the favorite pastime of the people of Uttar Pradesh. Not long after the last FIR from Lucknow against Facebook for an anti-Gandhi group, comes another one aimed at the social networking website; this time for "instigating communal passions" and demeaning Indian gods. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An FIR was filed in Meerut against the social networking website by a social activist alleging that a Facebook profile lampoons Indian gods with an image of the deities titled ''3 idiots'. Apparently, the profile is one amongst a spate of profiles poking fun at Islam and Hinduism as a part of ongoing online war between the champions of the respective religions.It's so easy these days to post slanderous or inappropriate content anonymously through means of youtube, facebook pages, or even blogs and pictures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xnQVRvTrMhA/TZBQ4gaIzkI/AAAAAAAAAsg/uEMD84sQSsc/s1600/Facebook+Page.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="100" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xnQVRvTrMhA/TZBQ4gaIzkI/AAAAAAAAAsg/uEMD84sQSsc/s320/Facebook+Page.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Facebook’s Statement of Right and Responsibilities says, “You will not post content that: is hateful, threatening, or pornographic; incites violence; or contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence.” Nobody seems to care about the rules, claiming that hate groups are just under the laws of freedom of speech. Facebook too isn't too eager to please our conservative Indian sensibilities, especially because the western civilization is rooted deeply in their respect for freedom of speech; even when it comes to lampooning religion.&lt;/div&gt;By &lt;a href="http://nikhil-chandra.blog.co.uk/"&gt;Nikhil Chandra&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1668388978777350632-404758679915280991?l=blog.webspaceindia.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.webspaceindia.net/feeds/404758679915280991/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1668388978777350632&amp;postID=404758679915280991' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1668388978777350632/posts/default/404758679915280991'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1668388978777350632/posts/default/404758679915280991'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.webspaceindia.net/2011/03/free-speech-social-media-how-far-is-too.html' title='Free Speech &amp; Social Media: How Far Is Too Far?'/><author><name>Chandra81</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07564248571655551092</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EkHtnIU8hOU/TgtauVkN2CI/AAAAAAAAA6U/ExSS9PCAmKI/s220/Nikhil.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xnQVRvTrMhA/TZBQ4gaIzkI/AAAAAAAAAsg/uEMD84sQSsc/s72-c/Facebook+Page.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668388978777350632.post-237606207770193482</id><published>2011-03-26T00:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-26T00:31:04.387-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Internet Marketing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='www'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='conference'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='India'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='social media'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SEO Travel Website'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SEO'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='future of internet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='role of social media'/><title type='text'>Future of Web and Role of Social Media: World wide web Conference 2011</title><content type='html'>Did you know that less than 10 percent of the Indian population uses the world wide web? Or that the next billion users of the internet will come from emerging markets like Brazil , China , India , Indonesia and Russia ??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The future of the web will be under discussion at the 20th international World Wide Web Conference (WWW2011) here, a prestigious event that India, with one of the world's fastest growing population of internet users, will host for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;At the 20th International WWW Conference, the future of the internet or the WEB as we know it will be decided. India, one of the largest and fastest growing economies in the world will be hosting the WWWC2011 for the very first time. It is also due to the fact that India has witnessed the most rapid growth of internet using population.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The WWWC2011 will be a five day event and has been named "web for all". The main focus of the conference would be how to bridge the digital divide so as to penetrate the internet among those who are yet untouched by the web phenomena. Inventor of the internet Tim Berners-Lee will address the event and he also holds the post of director of the world wide web conference. The conference will see the extensive debate on research papers related to web which are slated to shape the web of tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;World wide web currently has two billion users. However, of the 4.8 billion people living in Asia and Africa, only one in five has access to the web. In India, for instance, the 100 million web users constitute less than 10 percent of the total population of 1.2 billion.&lt;br /&gt;Recent time has seen explosive spurt in social media such as twitter, facebook and youtube and it will be one of important topic which will be on focus of a panel discussion in WWWC2011. The theme of the discussion would be "Social media: source of information or bunch of noise?". Is there useful information in social media like tweets, how to sift through the vast amounts of social media and filter out the spam/offensive content are some of the questions the participants will debate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wikipedia has over 3.5 million pages with descriptions of entities.

(YHOO) will never recover from its botched negotiations with Micrososft (MSFT), in which the larger company offered to buy it in early 2008. The initial offer was for $44.6 billion, or $31 a share. Yahoo! turned the deal down and by November of last year, its stock traded below $9. &lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yahoo!’s new CEO, Carol Bartz, has made a series of mistakes early in her tenure, and the company probably cannot recover from them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yahoo!’s current dilemma, from a financial standpoint, is that it is not growing and operates on razor thin margins. In the first quarter, the firm made only$121 million on $1.82 billion. The company has no significant margin to keep its earnings positive if revenue drops. Bartz’s initial answer to this was to let people go. Yahoo! fired 1,500 staff members beginning late last year, to save $400 million annually. That may only be the beginning of employee reductions if sales remain weak.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yahoo! has not developed any effective strategy to have any presence in the fast-growing social network sector. The same can be said of Microsoft (MSFT) and Google (GOOG). Each company may regret its lack of succes in entering the the online world created by MySpace (NWS), Facebook, and Twitter. Because of its size in relationship to Microsoft and Google, Yahoo! can least afford to let major opportunities pass. It is still questionable whether social networks will make money, but Facebook is growing so fast that it may ultimately have more unique visitors than Yahoo!. A large social network relationship would allow the No.2 search company to extend the presence of its technology and its opportunity to make money by getting tens of millions of new users. Yahoo! only has $3.5 billion in cash and short term securities. That is not nearly enough to buy a large social network. Facebook was recently valued at $10 billion which is about half of Yahoo!’s market capitalization.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yahoo! has not shown that it has an aggressive strategy to move into the mobile search market, a place where it has to be successful to extend its reach beyond the PC. Recent data from Citigroup says that Google has 61% of the mobile search market. Microsoft has shown that it is willing to pay large sums to become the default search software on major cellular platforms. The world’s largest software company struck a deal earlier this year with Verizon Wireless (VZ)(VOD). The terms reportedly give Verizon a minimum of $550 million over five year in exchange for Microsoft being the default search program on Verizon handsets. Yahoo! does not have the cash to be a viable bidder for this kind of placement on large cellular services.&lt;br /&gt;Yahoo!’s most important strategic blunder is likely to be the refusal of CEO Bartz to form a search partnership with Microsoft quickly after taking the top job. The industry has known for months that Microsoft was about to launch the next generation of its search product. Bartz and many experts believed that Microsoft did not have the product development and engineering expertise to build a highly competitive search engine. This turned out to be an underestimation of Microsoft’s resolve, its willingness to invest great sums of money on risky ventures, and the prowess of its developers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yahoo! now faces Microsoft’s new search product, Bing, and a pledge by Microsoft’s Ballmer that he is willing to invest as much as 10% of his company’s operating income over the next five years to become a power in the search industry. This investment could be $20 billion by most estimates, a sum that Yahoo! cannot come close to matching.&lt;br /&gt;Bing is off to a remarkably good start. Microsoft has historically had 8% to 9% of the US search market compared to Yahoo!’s 20% and Google’s 65%. Early results show Bing’s share surging as high as 13% of 14% in the three weeks after its introduction. Some of that growth is likely to come at Yahoo!’s expense because its search product is weaker than Google’s. Google may be able to lose two or three market share points. Yahoo! cannot afford to lose any.&lt;br /&gt;Bing may be able to hold its improved position. If the Microsoft product pulls users evenly from Google and Yahoo!, it would have 14% of the market compared to to Yahoo!’s 18%. The billions of dollars Microsoft is willing to spend to improve its position makes it likely that Redmond will will further shrink Yahoo!’s advantage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Microsoft has a chance, to catch Yahoo! over the next year or so. Yahoo!’s value will plunge if this happens and Microsoft’s need to have a deal which combines the search market operations of the two companies will be significantly less. Microsof could still make an offer for a partnership with Yahoo!. Nonetheless,Yahoo! will have lost a great deal of its leverage and its shareholders will lose most of their opportunity to profit.&lt;br /&gt;Bartz only had to make one important decision in her early tenure at Yahoo! and she made the wrong one.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Refference: &lt;a href="http://247wallst.com/2009/06/21/why-yahoo-yhoo-will-never-recover/"&gt;http://247wallst.com/2009/06/21/why-yahoo-yhoo-will-never-recover/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1668388978777350632-8452555360735850043?l=blog.webspaceindia.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.webspaceindia.net/feeds/8452555360735850043/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1668388978777350632&amp;postID=8452555360735850043' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1668388978777350632/posts/default/8452555360735850043'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1668388978777350632/posts/default/8452555360735850043'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.webspaceindia.net/2009/06/why-yhoo-will-never-recover.html' title='Why YHOO Will Never Recover ?'/><author><name>Neeraj Kumar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02300344944881369241</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Nb8DOoLyFwk/R1TVOZylFqI/AAAAAAAAE4Q/Gkg9873chl8/s72-c/yahoo_logo.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668388978777350632.post-8432614992539587674</id><published>2009-06-18T02:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-18T02:22:20.730-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A new version of the Yahoo Toolbar launched</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Yahoo has introduced a new version of the Yahoo Toolbar today. It runs on Internet Explorer 6+ and Firefox (as a beta).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The new Yahoo! Toolbar now offers greater customization and more immediate access to the information you care about most from across the entire web – not just Yahoo! sites," says Burke Culligan, Senior Director of Yahoo Front Doors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://blog.webspaceindia.net/uploaded_images/yahoo-toolbar-preview1-715195.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 91px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://blog.webspaceindia.net/uploaded_images/yahoo-toolbar-743617.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the new features of the toolbar is a "preview and go" feature, which lets you see small previews of your favorite sites in a drop down window, showing real-time info without having to leave the page you're on. "Customize your toolbar with dozens of apps from Yahoo! and across the rest of the web, so you can check on your multiple email inboxes (Yahoo! and AOL), your eBay listings, the latest news from People.com or USA Today, stock portfolios, and even your local weather or movie showtimes," suggests Culligan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The toolbar also comes with a faster search tool. It incorporates technology from Inquisitor, and offers query suggestions, search history, and the ability to directly search other sites from the search box.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Users can also easily customize the toolbar by adding and subtracting apps.

And therefore to maintain a secure environment, it is trying its best to constantly change the algorithms so as to be a step ahead of the culprits. Spamming spoils the credibility of the search engines, thus resulting in the quality to deteriorate both in terms of the speed and relevancy. And to put a check into all this is to identify an efficient ways to deal with it – changing the algorithm being a smart option.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the years it has been noticed that the SEO spammers using techniques like Black Hat and other such means generally manage to procure better rankings for their sites. Therefore, although their sites may lack in content and relevancy, they nevertheless manage to feature on the top of the searches.  While the better sites in the genuine sense have to settle for low rankings and thus feature below. This tremendously affects the internet users and their trust in Google. Unfortunately for Google, despite having resorted to several security measures in the past, spammers have nonetheless managed to crack the code and pose the issue as a serious security threat. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, it is now a tough job for Google to maintain two things – facilitate users with good quality and timely results and keep a check on the internet spammers. Although processes have begun to sustain a balance between the two, noteworthy results and a complete spam free ambiance may take a little time. Till then keep your fingers crossed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since SEO spammers are very clever in cracking the search engine algorithms, Google has set to change its search ranking algorithm. Spammers destroy the credibility of search engines to deliver relevant and quality results. This is what Google is trying to avoid happening. Changing its algorithm would eventually stop the spammers from doing their job.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Black hat SEO techniques are used by several internet marketers who play nasty. "Bad internet marketers" dominate the search engine results most of the time because of their spamming techniques. Their sites get higher ranking while the credible and legitimate websites are ranking in the SERP just below them. This condition is really unfair for other internet marketing who are doing their job ethically.&lt;br /&gt;Even if Google updates its search ranking algorithm, the spammers still find their way to get through Google's "iron hand." Just recently, these spammers have become disturbingly effective once again. Lots of internet users and even occasional web surfers trust Google search engine. This is the reason why Google has to pursue the changing of search engine algorithm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Google is accepting the fact that it is really difficult to do tasks at the same time--combating the internet spammers while giving internet users with fresh and timely search results. However, they are now exerting efforts in changing the search algorithm for a more refined, totally spammer-free search results; this would help the internet marketing venture a bias-free business field. The time when it shall happen remains a question though.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1668388978777350632-4656937945356112727?l=blog.webspaceindia.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.webspaceindia.net/feeds/4656937945356112727/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1668388978777350632&amp;postID=4656937945356112727' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1668388978777350632/posts/default/4656937945356112727'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1668388978777350632/posts/default/4656937945356112727'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.webspaceindia.net/2009/05/google-search-algorithm-to-be-changed.html' title='Google Search Algorithm to be changed'/><author><name>Neeraj Kumar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02300344944881369241</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668388978777350632.post-8974792333717881077</id><published>2009-04-27T23:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-27T23:29:32.966-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SEO'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Internet Sales Marketing Results'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Search Results'/><title type='text'>Barriers Preventing Website Owners From Internet Search Results Success</title><content type='html'>When it comes to succeeding in the search engines, you must pin-point problem areas and eliminate them with lightning speed. Professional search engine optimization is a competition that doesn’t have room for errors, believe me!&lt;br /&gt;1.&lt;strong&gt; Don’t fall for obtaining low quality links.&lt;/strong&gt; Always research out the popularity of websites that you obtain links from, and avoid obtaining links from link farms.&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;strong&gt;Don’t obtain links using the same anchor text and description repeatedly in short bursts&lt;/strong&gt;, that is a red flag to the search engines that you want to manipulate their well thought out algorithm.&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;strong&gt;Make sure you always have unique Meta and Title Tags for EVERY page. &lt;/strong&gt;You need to understand that every title should have at least one unique element to set it apart from your other pages. Include major keywords in your title and make it appealing so that it actually receives clicks!&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;strong&gt;Update your website regularly.&lt;/strong&gt;  You should run a blog with bi-weekly updates at a minimum on your website if you really want to succeed. Also research out the blog topics and use titles and keywords that will generate an increase in website traffic you are not tapping in to.&lt;br /&gt;5. &lt;strong&gt;Don’t over do reciprocal linking, and have a diverse link portfolio!&lt;/strong&gt;  According to Google, reciprocal linking is valuable - however it can be harmful if it is overdone.  You should obtain links from Blogs, Blog Posts, Forums, Reciprocal links, Articles, Social Media bookmarks and more!&lt;br /&gt;6. &lt;strong&gt;Don’t be deceitful to the search engines.&lt;/strong&gt; Don’t try to over use keywords, hide text or create doorway pages. Everything on your website should be well thought out, unique and valuable to both search engines and users. These are often times signs of black hat seo.&lt;br /&gt;7. &lt;strong&gt;Network with other website owners.&lt;/strong&gt; You need to create great relationships with powerful website owners and use those relationships to benefit both yourself and the other website owner. Get advice from them, get links from them and give something back!&lt;br /&gt;8. &lt;strong&gt;Research out your competition.&lt;/strong&gt; You need to know what your competition is doing in every way. Find out where they are getting links from. Find out what they are doing on their website, and determine any new ideas they are using to generate traffic, links and business!&lt;br /&gt;9. &lt;strong&gt;Work hard and don’t give up.&lt;/strong&gt; Search engine optimization is a tiring and hard to accomplish effort, and once you have put in effort you need to stick with it and never consider giving up.  Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1668388978777350632-8974792333717881077?l=blog.webspaceindia.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.webspaceindia.net/feeds/8974792333717881077/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1668388978777350632&amp;postID=8974792333717881077' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1668388978777350632/posts/default/8974792333717881077'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1668388978777350632/posts/default/8974792333717881077'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.webspaceindia.net/2009/04/barriers-preventing-website-owners-from.html' title='Barriers Preventing Website Owners From Internet Search Results Success'/><author><name>Neeraj Kumar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02300344944881369241</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668388978777350632.post-8426762797831885584</id><published>2009-04-24T23:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-24T23:32:08.025-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Google Updates Keyword Suggestion Tool'/><title type='text'>Google Updates Keyword Suggestion Tool</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://blog.webspaceindia.net/uploaded_images/google-776520.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; One of the recent posts by Site Visibility informed that Google has updated their keyword suggestion tool. In fact, even we also noticed the same thing.&lt;br /&gt;The update tool will help you target local keywords during research.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This tool will show both local search volume and global search volume. Under the local column you'll find results specific to your targeted country, language and selection from the Match Type drop-down menu. Whereas the global column will include traffic of all countries, languages and selection from the Match Type drop-down menu.&lt;br /&gt;This new feature will surely help in building and focusing keyword research to a specific country. However, it is also found that the local aspect of the tool is not as local as it could be, but it is too early to make any firm conclusions.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1668388978777350632-8426762797831885584?l=blog.webspaceindia.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.webspaceindia.net/feeds/8426762797831885584/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1668388978777350632&amp;postID=8426762797831885584' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1668388978777350632/posts/default/8426762797831885584'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1668388978777350632/posts/default/8426762797831885584'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.webspaceindia.net/2009/04/google-updates-keyword-suggestion-tool.html' title='Google Updates Keyword Suggestion Tool'/><author><name>Neeraj Kumar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02300344944881369241</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668388978777350632.post-5531473534797163097</id><published>2009-04-24T03:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-24T03:26:41.388-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SEO Travel Website'/><title type='text'>Should travel sites do more to increase SEO?</title><content type='html'>Travel sites could do more to boost their SEO campaigns, it has been suggested.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kevin May of  Travolution that a delegate at this Travolution Summit claimed travel sites are among the worst offenders in terms of effectively deploying&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

These companies and organisations that claim to get your web site listed on the first page of Google are not telling you the whole truth. The actual truth is that, whatever you type in as your heading: for example-Can you really get your website listed in Google in 24 Hours?, wait for at least 20 to 30 minutes and type in the exact heading underlined above into the Google search box and to your surprise: as if by magic hey presto it appears on the first page of Google search results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some claim this is the work of Google SEO magic if there is such a thing as magic here. If you were to look closely at this example of SEO brilliance you will realise that: 1. You only get top 10 results on exactly what you typed in as your social network link headline and exactly what you typed into the Google search box. If you type in any variations or keywords like: Google in 24 hours, website listed in Google,24 hours in Google or any other variation then I am afraid you will not get a top 10 first page result for this description.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lets face it –how many people are going to type in this exact description into a Google search box for it to get on the first page of Google and drive massive amounts of traffic to your web site without expensive pay per click advertising?.This type of myth and hype is actually being touted as the greatest coup against Google; it also claims to beat Google, whatever that means.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The claim that it can drive massive amounts of traffic to your web site and earn you a $1,000,000,000 is a complete nonsense; the only people making any money here are the affiliates and those that own the web site. You cannot get massive amounts of traffic from a link on a social network web site. If you check back into your profile account you will see maybe 10 clicks or views in a month is you are lucky. That is hardly enough to make you a millionaire is it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;YES&lt;/span&gt;-If you are experienced in SEO or use an experienced SEO company like these. With clever SEO techniques they were able to get all the pages of web sites indexed by Google in 4 hours, sometimes you have to wait for weeks to get your web pages indexed by Google, so to have all pages of your web site indexed within 4 hours-That is the real Google SEO magic, but only if you give your web site a complete work out at the seogym.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With this system of indexing your web pages you do not have to type the exact title of your web page to find it, but a collection of key words used by the web site. This type of indexing gives you a permanent presence in search results&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;NO&lt;/span&gt;-If you do not have any relevant links to your web site and if you do not submit your URL or web site address for Google to know about your site and index the pages so that when you type in your web address Google can return results for that web site –otherwise you will only get a message saying: check your spelling.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1668388978777350632-3880011208155456828?l=blog.webspaceindia.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.webspaceindia.net/feeds/3880011208155456828/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1668388978777350632&amp;postID=3880011208155456828' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1668388978777350632/posts/default/3880011208155456828'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1668388978777350632/posts/default/3880011208155456828'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.webspaceindia.net/2009/04/can-anyone-really-get-website-listed-in.html' title='Can anyone really get website listed in Google in 24 Hours?'/><author><name>Neeraj Kumar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02300344944881369241</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668388978777350632.post-2350853675425959236</id><published>2009-04-24T03:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-24T03:06:03.323-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Search Engine Optimization'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Internet Marketing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SEO'/><title type='text'>Increase your Online Sales with SEO</title><content type='html'>Increasing Online Sales with SEO is a fundamental marketing strategy, but what is SEO ? SEO is the acronym of Search Engine Optimization and is about optimizing a website to achieve higher positions in the search engine ranking pages. The traffic that comes from search engines is steady and doesn't vanish in a day, if you have a website then you should use SEO on it. Are you a novice ? There are two ways in front of you, the first is hiring a SEO consultant while the other is to study SEO by yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are into a business and you don't have time to learn SEO then you are more probable to choose for a SEO consultant, you have anyway to understand the basics of SEO to avoid to be fooled by dishonest people. Probably you have been offered a SEO service for a certain price so the first thing to see if there is some written guarantee about what you have been offered. Remember that a SEO service is about placing your website in the first page search results from Google and not appearing in the sponsored link that appear in the same page. I have talked of Google because is the most used search engine at today so ranking high in it is what you need.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another important thing is the keyword or keyphrase you are offered to be optimized for as it is nearly useless to be ranked for the name of your enterprise. Usually is offered to be ranked for a certain phrase related to what you do so ask how much traffic will you get for it, you can do this by yourself also using Google Adwords: just create an account in Google, activate Adword and with the keyword tool you can get all the data you need and with the same tool you can also start a paid ad campaign that will allow to place your ads in websites that are related to your business. Comparing the estimated traffic with the price for SEO will give you the ratio between quality and price on which you can choose if it is worthy or not, also don't limit yourself to one proposal but evaluate more offers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to do SEO by yourself then you will have to study it, just search Google by SEO guide and you will have plenty of material to study. SEO is a way to bring you good targeted traffic that will increase your online sales but it's just a part of a bigger process. As people usually don't buy at the first visit then you must get their contact details and to do this you should offer a subscription to your newsletter or autoresponder incentiving it by giving bonuses like a freely downloadable ebook that you have written or found in the web. Another important factor to have a successful online sales performance is to have a good conversion ratio: the conversion ratio is a number, written as percentage, that says you how many of your visitors have bought your products or services. You can increase your conversion rate by many ways that are not explained in this article as this was not its goal.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1668388978777350632-2350853675425959236?l=blog.webspaceindia.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.webspaceindia.net/feeds/2350853675425959236/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1668388978777350632&amp;postID=2350853675425959236' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1668388978777350632/posts/default/2350853675425959236'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1668388978777350632/posts/default/2350853675425959236'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.webspaceindia.net/2009/04/increase-your-online-sales-with-seo.html' title='Increase your Online Sales with SEO'/><author><name>Neeraj Kumar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02300344944881369241</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668388978777350632.post-5713756178193153204</id><published>2009-01-14T21:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-14T21:47:33.656-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Google PR Update</title><content type='html'>HI SEO's&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is really shocking news for the peoplw who are thinking about that this time their websit pr will increase but google has changed their logo&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1668388978777350632-5713756178193153204?l=blog.webspaceindia.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.webspaceindia.net/feeds/5713756178193153204/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1668388978777350632&amp;postID=5713756178193153204' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1668388978777350632/posts/default/5713756178193153204'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1668388978777350632/posts/default/5713756178193153204'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.webspaceindia.net/2009/01/google-pr-update.html' title='Google PR Update'/><author><name>Neeraj Kumar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02300344944881369241</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668388978777350632.post-1890223898237441790</id><published>2008-11-19T23:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-19T23:35:01.208-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Redirecting index.html to root directory</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;For getting optimum page rank we use canonical optimization in which we redirects our websites to www or non www.

Have you notice that?  Sometimes it also arises the case of content duplicacy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Solution;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Just use the following Script for redirecting all index.html to it's respective root directory (/)  in .htaccess file;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Options +FollowSymlinks&lt;br /&gt;RewriteEngine on&lt;br /&gt;RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/index.html&lt;br /&gt;RewriteRule ^(.*)index.html$ http://www.webspaceindia.net/$1 [R=301,L] &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;* Just replace webspaceindia.net with your domain name&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you want to make www redirection as well with it then use;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Options +FollowSymlinks&lt;br /&gt;RewriteEngine on&lt;br /&gt;RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/index.html&lt;br /&gt;RewriteRule ^(.*)index.html$ http://www.webspaceindia.net/$1 [R=301,L]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rewritecond %{http_host} ^webspaceindia.net [nc]&lt;br /&gt;Rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.webspaceindia.net/$1 [r=301,nc]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These scripts will help your websites in getting optimum  Google Page Rank.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1668388978777350632-1890223898237441790?l=blog.webspaceindia.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.webspaceindia.net/feeds/1890223898237441790/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1668388978777350632&amp;postID=1890223898237441790' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1668388978777350632/posts/default/1890223898237441790'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1668388978777350632/posts/default/1890223898237441790'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.webspaceindia.net/2008/11/redirecting-indexhtml-to-root-directory.html' title='Redirecting index.html to root directory'/><author><name>Neeraj Kumar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02300344944881369241</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668388978777350632.post-8057696646778563866</id><published>2008-07-28T03:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-28T03:52:14.407-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Google Latest backlinks and Page Rank Update  july 26, 2008</title><content type='html'>Hey Guys!!!&lt;br /&gt;Did you notice the Google backlinks and Toolbar PR of your website?&lt;br /&gt;If no do a check now as Google updated both on Saturday, july 26, 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You would notice that backlinks of your site are down with a huge extent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wait till my next post for the reason of above........&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1668388978777350632-8057696646778563866?l=blog.webspaceindia.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.webspaceindia.net/feeds/8057696646778563866/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1668388978777350632&amp;postID=8057696646778563866' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1668388978777350632/posts/default/8057696646778563866'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1668388978777350632/posts/default/8057696646778563866'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.webspaceindia.net/2008/07/google-latest-backlinks-and-page-rank.html' title='Google Latest backlinks and Page Rank Update  july 26, 2008'/><author><name>Neeraj Kumar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02300344944881369241</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668388978777350632.post-2657358871803074913</id><published>2008-06-26T02:08:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-26T02:08:41.875-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Want to Know about Google New Favicon ?</title><content type='html'>Hey Guys, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you checked Google.com?????&lt;br /&gt;if you are still not able to find the changes in google.com..then you have to make your mind sharp in internet world.&lt;br /&gt;Becuase google has recenlty added a favicon  &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://blog.webspaceindia.net/uploaded_images/favicon-799703.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer;
