2009-11-11T14:26:00.002+05:30

Google Caffeine Going Live
Google Caffeine when announced first back in August created the strong buzz among Online community, SEO folks, website owner's and many people started comparing their rankings with Caffeine and Universal Search. Too some Google Caffeine results were exciting and too many they didn't experienced much changes, but all were on same page regarding Caffeine quick, faster and accurate results, also the crawling were increased to much larger extent with relevant results.

Google made the Caffeine available to Power Searches and all other people till today at http://www2.sandbox.google.com/

Today I found Google Caffeine says:-
"We appreciate all the feedback from people who searched on our Caffeine sandbox.

Based on the success we've seen, we believe Caffeine is ready for a larger audience. Soon we will activate Caffeine more widely, beginning with one data center. This sandbox is no longer necessary and has been retired, but we appreciate the testing and positive input that webmasters and publishers have given."

It’s official, Google Caffeine is going live.

If you notice changes in your website rankings don't get surprised it's Caffeine, Google Caffeine ranking results will dance around a while until it is fully available.

Happy ranking's at Google Caffeine :-)

Lovingtech.net - Webmaster & Tech Forum Review

2009-10-26T19:35:00.004+05:30

A couple of weeks ago, I got an email from one of my Blog reader asking about any good webmaster forums in my knowledge which I would recommend him to join.

On drilling down his email further I figured out he got frustrated of being member to many of known webmaster and technology forum's. He just want to concentrate and get active on limited but informative forum's. It's all about quality information online not quantity.

I think we all look for same, being a Online Marketer I do want to utilize my limited time getting involved on useful webmaster forum's. Certainly maximum percentage of online user's are wasting there time on worthless site or forum's, that's what make them frustrated or divert their interest's to look for another new source online.

There are so many forum's available online where you will notice instead of logical or materialistic discussion, they are involved in promoting their own products or services or you'll find many forum member's are promoting themselves, serving outdated information or discussing on how to make money online or even involved in personal attack's violating forum rule's.

Honest members who joined the forum's looking for real information or want to share/discuss their problems are not getting answered. All such scenario makes them looking for another forum...and so on 90% of forum member's leave them straight away and hop to another forum. Again same situation which make them to jump over another forum.

I believe it's better to pick out best online site's, forum's, blog resources based on our interest and get active out there. Investment of time on best informative forum's is like a investment of your precious time and money, so pick them wisely.

Back to my Blog reader email, he has been asking me for webmaster forum's which I would recommend him to Join where he could find good information on Online marketing subject along with a mix of other interesting Tech related topics.

Without hesitation I suggest Lovingtech.net forum to everyone. LovingTech is the best place where as a member you can discuss on everything from Webmaster and Tech, including; Internet Marketing, Computers, Gaming, Search Engine Optimization and Web Design.

Apart I am much impressed with LovingTech Forum's (www.lovingtech.net) simplicity, user-friendly design, motto of being single quality forum source on all tech & webmaster related discussions.

LovingTech Forum is so rich with all useful content of being the active participation and moderation from Forum Administrator, Ryan Grant - founder and owner of Lovingtech forum.

If you are Technology Geek and love to have discussion on latest technologies or like Gaming, love to share and discuss on Apple, MicroSoft products LovingTech.net Forum is for you.

If you are Online Marketer or Webmaster and wish to discuss with fellow like minded people more on Web Design & Graphics, Coding & Web Development, Internet Security, Online Marketing & Search Engine Optimization, you will find only interested and informative people out there at LovingTech Forum.

Google Sitelink - What are Google Sitelinks & How to control which Links to show at SERP's

2009-10-14T20:04:00.012+05:30

Have you ever noticed some additional links shown at Google Organic Search Results while you searched for something on Google. You will find Google will show sub-pages/URL's along with main domain for top ranking website.

Sitelinks are these additional links which Google show's at search engine result page's for #1 ranking website, while many times Google also shows Sitelinks for top-10 ranking websites.

Above screenshot show's how Google show's website sitelinks, I believe all those who were not aware now knows what are Sitelinks and how it shows at Google. It is important for you to try get your website internal page's get picked by Google and displayed as Sitelinks by making your website navigation user and crawler friendly.

I randomly did a search for "Shoes" where Google is displaying Shoes.com at #1 position along with subpage's as Sitelinks

SiteLinks:-
Womens Shoes - Men - Kid's Shoes - Sandals

Google show's Sitelinks only when their algorithm finds internal webpage URL's qualifies to get displayed as Sitelinks based on navigation which has to be easy for user's, provide easy access to crawler etc.

The purpose of showing Sitelinks is purely to help online user or searcher to easily jump on relevant webpage at one click.

As said your internal website page's will qualify to be shown as Sitelinks only when they qualify Google standard's of which important one is your own website navigational structure which often many webmaster's ignore.

In order to help Google find the page's you want to be included as Sitelinks, you need to link all such page's on your websites top navigation, left navigation and as Footer links. All this links has to have occurrence of atleast twice or thrice from every website page.

To my observation I found Google pick Sitelinks URL's mainly from Top Navigation & Left Navigation Link structure. Also to make a note Google display's maximum Eigth (8) internal webpages as Sitelinks, sometimes 3, 4, 5 and so on but not more than 8 for a domain.

If you haven't thought of Sitelinks potential, give a second thought and think how you can improve your website navigation and qualify your internal website page's to get listed at SERP's.

I strongly feel your website Google Sitelinks can help to improve quality traffic and conversion also your website will have the advantage of showing extra webpage's for a single #1 ranking.

Sitelinks - Sitelinks are links to a site's interior pages. Not all sites have sitelinks. Google generates these links automatically, but you can remove sitelinks you don't want.

www.example.com/ - 10k - Cached - Similar pages

Google Sitelinks are completely automated, and Google show them only if they think they'll be useful to the user. If your site's structure doesn't allow Google algorithms to find good sitelinks, or Google don't think that the sitelinks are relevant to the user's query, Google won't show them.

Now let's assume Google is already displaying sitelinks for your website, but you want to block some of them or say you want to take control on which internal page's to display or not.

So good news is you can manage all of your website sitelinks from Google Webmaster Tools dashboard, all you need to do is sign in to your webmaster account, look into the “links” section, you will see “Sitelinks” option out there.

On webmaster tool Sitelinks manager dashboard screen you can control & block unwanted Sitelinks from showing under your Google organic listing.

Barcode Google Logo - Google Doodle BARCODE Logo on 07th October, 2009

2009-10-07T13:26:00.007+05:30

Google Celebrates the patent Barcode invention by displaying "Barcode Logo" at Google Search Home Page, Barcode Logo to remark Barcodes 57th Anniversary at Google (www.google.com) as on 07th Oct, 2009.

On decoding "Barcode Logo" image it say's GOOGLE.

Barcode Information Source Wikipedia

A barcode is an optical machine-readable representation of data. Originally, bar codes represented data in the widths (lines) and the spacings of parallel lines, and may be referred to as linear or 1D (1 dimensional) barcodes or symbologies.

They also come in patterns of squares, dots, hexagons and other geometric patterns within images termed 2D (2 dimensional) matrix codes or symbologies. Although 2D systems use symbols other than bars, they are generally referred to as barcodes as well.

A UPC-A barcode symbol.

The first use of barcodes was to label railroad cars, but they were not commercially successful until they were used to automate supermarket checkout systems, a task in which they have become almost universal. Their use has spread to many other roles as well, tasks that are generically referred to as Auto ID Data Capture (AIDC). Other systems are attempting to make inroads in the AIDC market, but the simplicity, universality and low cost of barcodes has limited the role of these other systems. It costs about half a United States cent (US$0.005) to implement a barcode compared to passive RFID which still costs about $0.07 to $0.30 per tag.^[1] Barcodes can be read by optical scanners called barcode readers, or scanned from an image by special software. Scanning software for 2D codes is built-in to or available for many mobile phones, and is especially popular in Japan, India & Europe.

Mahatma Gandhiji's Logo at Google, India (www.google.co.in) Search Home Page as on 02nd Oct, 2009. Google doodle appeared into Gandhi Logo to honour the Father of the Nation on his birthday, 2 October (Gandhi Jayanti)

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (M.K.Gandhi) Information Source Wikipedia

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Gujarati: મોહનદાસ કરમચંદ ગાંધી, pronounced [moːɦənˈdaːs kəɾəmˈtʂənd ˈɡaːndʱiː] ( listen); 2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948) was the pre-eminent political and spiritual leader of India during the Indian independence movement. He was the pioneer of satyagraha—resistance to tyranny through mass civil disobedience, firmly founded upon ahimsa or total non-violence—which led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. Gandhi is commonly known around the world as Mahatma Gandhi (Sanskrit: महात्मा mahātmā or "Great Soul", an honorific first applied to him by Rabindranath Tagore),^[1] and in India also as Bapu (Gujarati: Gujarati: બાપુ, bāpu or "Father"). He is officially honoured in India as the Father of the Nation; his birthday, 2 October, is commemorated there as Gandhi Jayanti, a national holiday, and worldwide as the International Day of Non-Violence.

Gandhi first employed non-violent civil disobedience while an expatriate lawyer in South Africa, during the resident Indian community's struggle for civil rights. After his return to India in 1915, he organized protests by peasants, farmers, and urban labourers concerning excessive land-tax and discrimination. After assuming leadership of the Indian National Congress in 1921, Gandhi led nationwide campaigns to ease poverty, expand women's rights, build religious and ethnic amity, end untouchability, and increase economic self-reliance. Above all, he aimed to achieve Swaraj or the independence of India from foreign domination. Gandhi famously led his followers in the Non-cooperation movement that protested the British-imposed salt tax with the 400 km (240 mi) Dandi Salt March in 1930. Later he campaigned against the British to Quit India. Gandhi spent a number of years in jail in both South Africa and India.

As a practitioner of ahimsa, he swore to speak the truth and advocated that others do the same. Gandhi lived modestly in a self-sufficient residential community and wore the traditional Indian dhoti and shawl, woven with yarn he had hand spun on a charkha. He ate simple vegetarian food, and also undertook long fasts as a means of both self-purification and social protest.

Google Introduces New Search Feature to SERP's - Displaying Forum Posts & Discussions Related to Search

2009-10-01T23:15:00.004+05:30

Google's Johanna Wright, Director of Product Management today announced a new feature which Google will show at their regular Search Engine Results Page's (SERP's). This new search feature will include and show the forum postings and discussion related to what user is searching for along with the usual organic results to serve user with helpful information.

This new addition to Google search results applies to sites that tend to have a large number of posts on a specific topic. When several different discussions on a site are relevant to search query, Google indent them under the primary result and include the date of each post.

Let's say if we search for "google head office" you will see various details from that forums or discussion board topics including Title of that topics, latest post date, number of posts, and a list of relevant discussions.

According to Google, we hope this feature gives you a deeper view into the relevant content available on sites throughout the web — even when that content spans multiple pages or discussions. At the same time, the main search results are diverse as always — so if you can't pinpoint a useful comment there's a list of relevant sites there to help.

Google seem's now a days interested to add more links on the search engine result pages from various sources, Google's forum and discussion links is latest addition. More information on Google New Search Feature out here Official Google Blog: Surfacing forum posts in search results

Perseid Meteor Shower - Google Displays Perseid Meteor Logo on 12th August, 2009

2009-08-12T18:08:00.006+05:30

Google Displays Perseid Meteor Logo at it's Search Home Page 0n 12th August, 2009

Perseids Meteor Information Source Wikipedia
The Perseids (pronounced /ˈpɜrsiː.ɨdz/ us dict: pûr′·sē·ĭdz) are a prolific meteor shower associated with the comet Swift-Tuttle. The Perseids got its name because of its point of origin, which is called the radiant that lies in the constellation Perseus. Meteor showers occur when Earth moves through a meteor stream.
The stream in this case is called the Perseid cloud and it stretches along the orbit of the Comet Swift-Tuttle.
The Perseid meteor shower has been observed for about 2000 years, with the first known information on this meteor shower coming from the Far East. In early medieval Europe, the Perseids came to be known as the "tears of St. Lawrence."
The shower is visible from mid-July each year, with the greatest activity between August 8 and 14, peaking about August 12. During the peak, the rate of meteors reaches 60 or more per hour. They can be seen all across the sky, but because of the path of Swift-Tuttle's orbit, Perseids are primarily visible in the northern hemisphere. This year (2009) the Peak hourly zenith rate will be about 120, but fainter meteors will be washed out by a waning gibbous moon.

Year	Perseids active between	Peak of shower
2009	14 July - ...^[1]	Expected: 11 August - 12 August ^[2]
2008	25 July - 24 August ^[3]	13 August (ZHR_max 116) ^[3]

Netbook Cases, Netbook & Laptop Accessories by Gearzap.com

2009-06-25T03:15:00.010+05:30

I remember when I bought my first Netbook in 2006, since after I changed few and keep purchasing latest Netbooks and Laptops every year from different manufacturer's. I still retain all of my old Netbooks available with me which after going thru some wears and tears are in okay working conditions I can say.

One thing I always believe in is, if I have the right accessories for my Netbooks it's life will prolong and I can use them for long run without much harm to it's external beauty (scratches etc).

It's important to use and choose the most durable Netbook or Laptop accessories in order to keep them safe. The accessories which I got along with my new Netbooks after some months were in bad shape and the Netbook Case was really suffering due to my usage habit and extensive traveling. I thought to buy new case online and other accessories from some reliable store.

In search of quality products at affordable price I visited around 20-30 sites, just to find my desired Netbook Cases and other Laptop accessories. I tried products from some vendor's out of which one were Gearzap.com

The best thing which I liked about Gearzap.com is that they carry Netbooks & Laptops from all major popular brands available in market today. Also the collection of Netbook Cases and Netbook Accessories provided by Gearzap.com is Aussum. I don't even need to look at other store for any of my Netbook & Laptop related accessories.

I would like to share my experience with you all about Gearzap products. Netbook Cases, Zeroshock Cases and Cool Bananas Cases are few products which I had used from Gearzap.com

Netbook Cases

For my HP Mini 2140 Netbook I was looking for a laptop backpack, but one of my friend advices me to buy Netbook Cases rather, so I did.

I bought the Netbook Cases from Gearzap.com and it's really cool, it fits on my Netbook completely. Also it has compartments which kept my Netbook completely secure and scratch free.

ZeroShock Cases

The other product which I tried was ZeroShock Cases, they are very valuable for me in many ways, the foremost thing because of it looks and it's affordable price.

I rely completely on ZeroShock Cases, as it offer great flexibility along with assurance of no damages or scratch to my Netbook. ZeroShock Cases is a piece of kit on which I can trust!

Cool Bananas Cases
The other unique product which I liked it by Gearzap.com is Cool Bananas Cases, which is really very cute looking and can easily grab the attention while on walk.

The quality of Cool Bananas Cases is they are shockproof and scratch proof hard case which looks cool and also helps in protecting Netbook from bumps and knocks.

Gearzap.com provides high quality service along with one of largest Netbook & Laptop inventory. For more information about Netbook Cases, please visit online at www.Gearzap.com
