Page Ranks

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

When I write this article, Google PR Update (updated PageRank) is in progress and is expected to be accomplished within a couple of days, but what does this entail for you? To put it simply, Google Page Rank is supported the total value of links to your web site a higher PageRank, and can improve their results in search engines, especially Google.

Several people don’t realize that even if the green bar, which displays a numerical value as a PR is only updated every 3 months or more, the benefits of a link could be about immediate. There are two important directs to take from him. First of all, the link popularity bar is always up to date. Second, the jump in the ranking on the update will not cause the stroke to the list at once.

PageRank increase is all of the time adept news for the site. While it can not increase your data, it is a effective indication that your link building pay for itself or that the site is a step in the correct direction. PageRank is estimated using the exponential scale. The result is that areas with more high-pitched Pageranks ask a higher value on the links to jump to a broader PageRank. If your site is the same after the PR update, it doesn’t needfully mean that the relationship score hasn’t better.

The old adage says that “proof of pudding in the eating”, and that could be implemented here. In spite of a higher PR is all of the time suitable, that there are a lot of factors that affect the link score. The better formula to measurement the usefulness of a link is to monitor changes in SE lists and traffic.

Any key words that are formed either for the title or heading in the site should be inserted in these HTML tags i.e. <h></h>.Titles play a major role in gaining attention, so make sure the title given is innovative & catching the attention of the visitors.

Search Engines - Is More Needed

Saturday, February 7th, 2009

Search engines are often used by someone looking to find the answer to a question. Mostly the search engine they use will deliver an acceptable result. However, occasionally there comes a time when there simply isn’t the required level of information on a subject to satisfy the user.

Google has attempted to remedy this by adding the “Universal Search”. This is their measure to deliver relevant information about a specific search.

In recent times the top search result was always a web page. This is no longer the case, in a universal search the top result can be a youtube video, a podcast and sometimes even an image.

Is this providing enough?


Not so long ago I was searching the web for Canadian directories. I began the search on google.ca (Canadian Google). Some good results were returned on the first five pages but after the searches were unrelated sites that happened to feature the words “Canadian” and “directories”.

Next I ran the exact same phrase on the Yahoo and MSN search engines. I noticed that it returned the same results.

This got me wondering. Are these 40 or so directories the only ones in Canada? I seriously doubt it.

The point I’m getting at is that although these search engines do a phenomenal job, they really ought to do better. Another thing that concerns me is Googles recent trend to refer to their business as an advertising platform as opposed to a search engine.


I fully understand what they’re saying though, they’re a business and all businesses need to evolve to stay current with the times. However, when you start to neglect your roots and the core reason for you standing so high on the pedestal I think it signals the beginning of the end.

It’ll take a long time and massive effort to remove Google from its Search Engine throne. The same was said of Microsoft in the 90’s. They were once regarded an unmovable force in the IT industry. Is that the case today?
