Do you think, when you type in your favorite key words like “download Bryan Adams music” or “download free movies” in a search engine like Google or yahoo, you get the best results?
Think again.
Almost all of us by now have heard about the SEO things, but very few of us are completely aware of the inducing effect that they are capable of injecting to influence your search results.
So, listen to your brain not your eyes.
And for some strange and unknown reasons search engine majors are dealing to solve this matter with very noticeable reluctance. Isn’t it fishy?
Well, lets avoid such shady stuffs for the time being, and move away the search light on some other aspects of it.
This revamped and reinforced craze for search engine optimization has been all good for one league, while completely playing with and fooling the others. So in spite of belonging to this industry, I think there should be some sort of a balance between these. At least until search engine majors come up with some really authentic and genuine algorithms to get the best search results, SEO people must be given the chance to show their parts and grab attention. What I mean to say is, until a good site, filled with good stuffs doesn’t get its due from the search engines, we can not blame the SEO guys by any means for manipulating the results. How many times we see that a old site leading the search results in spite of not being the best among the lot, while a younger one in spite of boasting better stuffs not getting the chance to come up at the top. This is really pathetic. This not only deprives the site owner to get its due, but also prevents the prospective viewers from tasting it. They must do some thing, but till now it has fallen into deaf ears, or the sheer bulk of the web world has made them feel like mitigates. Whatever might be the reason, eventually its the users who are suffering the most. And people like me(shame on me buddy!) are taking advantage out of it. Please do not misjudge this as a confession statement, I was never sorry, and I’ll never be sorry for what I’m doing. I think if you make a deal which is not illegal(not legal though!), you can some time over look the moral aspect of it(or is it?), specially when you are doing good for at least one community, and helping them to see the day light(or search light!).
Any ways, Microsoft recently has taken a noble initiative through it’s latest counter commercial to Google, “Bing”. They are claiming to provide the best search results through their smart and efficient algorithms. From a recent press release from Seattle, Washington, I have come to know that their researchers are trying to better the user interaction with search engines, and helping them to get what they exactly want and deserve, as sometimes they are incognizant about what’s actually best for them. No doubt, Google will definitely take a note and come up with something new to counter them.
May be we are entering a new era. And I personally feel jubilant to think that the planet gets tougher for the SEO guys, and when the things get tougher, only the toughs get going(don’t get me wrong!).
Convert AAC to MP3, it seems that this can only convert unprotected formats (like WAV or WMA) to MP3 format. So what can we do? Fortunately, there are two ways to avoid this issue restriction.Burn annoying to a CD, convert CD to iTunes and Selection to MP3 will do exactly what you want to open for use. Remember, you have two copies of the songs on iTunes AAC and the original MP3 format. You can use the aac converter to mp3
When Mr. Ruperd Murdoch is busy complaining and drawing legal strategies against Google, a data generated from comscore comparison has popped up that is definitely going to give Mr. Murdoch a fresh new point to look at the ‘News’ issue (if he is not painstakingly prejudiced). According to a recent survey it is revealed that, more people trust Google News over any other dedicated news brands, when it comes to getting news online. The closest competitor being New York Times, who has been outnumbered by an astonishing margin of 34million unique visitors. According to the survey Google had attracted almost 100 million unique visitors November,2009, with compare to 66millions by NYT. And if you are thinking where the hell is Mr. Murdoch, he is right at the bottom layer fetching just about 6 million unique visitors last month. Someone please go and tell the gentleman that it is just not the way to go about things! You simply can not afford to be a hard nut, when it comes to compete with a brand as innovative and as trustworthy as Google! This striking data has not only given WSJ a lot of stuff to think, but also raised a serious question over the acceptability of the News Brands. At this point you must be thinking that Google is doing just a great job! You are right Google indeed is doing a great job, but there is another player who’s doing greater job in this field. Guess who? It’s Yahoo!!! The survey has revealed that almost 138 million (WOW!!) unique visitors had knocked Yahoo News, when it came to getting the news. Now that was some finding! You just cannot write Yahoo off. Following is the Comscore’s unique visitor’s graph(as posted in tech crunch);
Due to several personal as well as professional reasons I couldn’t make a single post about Google Buzz, which is creating a lot of hullabaloo. Many have been expressing their concerns about the privacy parameters, while at the same time may have stated their optimism regarding this new concept.
At last the speculations are over. Google has decided to take on directly Microsoft in their home ground itself. And despite of keeping Google’s reputation of making it to the end in mind one can say that it was arguably the boldest move that they had taken. It just depicts Google’s growing arrogance and grandiosity according to some, but whatever might be the reason behind such a move, I think we will be the ultimate gainer in this “WORLD WEB WAR” between the two biggest web giants. After the moderate success of Google Chrome browser, they have decided to go for the full circle. According to Google’s survey, it is the third most popular browser, with already over 30 million users. And its typical simple yet fast nature is expected to produce a perfect feat with the Google Chrome OS. And this is exactly what got reflected, when they termed this project as a “natural extension of Google Chrome“. It is expected that the Google Chrome OS will quite obviously be built on the Chrome architecture. Google has announced to target this OS initially at net books. Google described Chrome OS as, “Google Chrome running within a new windowing system on top of a Linux kernel.” The most important thing is that it will be a open-source operating system, which will be light weight in nature. This will definitely lighten Google’s development load. And at the same time it will help to make it popular among the web community too. This will most definitely compel a lot of developers to get busy in building their applications that will run on the Chrome OS. It is expected to be available with several net books, sometime in 2010, and its source code will be made available later this year.
The challenge has become tougher for Google in the Book Settlement issue, as America’s largest online retailer and web biggie Amazon joins the hand with Microsoft-Yahoo against them. And to add salt to their wound, strong supports have been enunciated from many quarters. With a steadily growing support, this coalition is now looking to pose a serious threat to dismiss the deal that Google had struck with Authors Guild last year.
According to this deal Google gets the right to make the published books available on the Internet and in return they give back a certain percentage of revenue generated from the ads that run along these books. This deal was struck after almost a three and half year old tussle between Google and Authors Guild over the dispute regarding publishing of the books online by Google through their book search segment. But just when it was looking everything has been sorted out, it suddenly went wrong from Google’s point of view. It seems that their steady growth and envious success has amplifying their enemy list rapidly.
The reason behind this new dispute is stemmed out of the concern that this deal will provide Google with an unfair advantage over other players in the digital book market.
As several groups of authors, libraries and publishers are uniting against the deal, and libraries like Special Libraries Association and the New York Library Association, supported by American society of Journalists and Authors are joining the coalition, it seems that Google is going to have a tough time ahead.
