But I love to watch site like this one which has a very modest approach in presenting content. It relates to Pony Breeding. You can see some great photos in this site.

Hi! I find this nice topic and take the opportunity to share it with you all. It relates to a prolonged debate on Sub-domain vs. Sub-directory and how GoogleBot sees them. Just a nutshell of the long post:

GoogleBot prefers subdirectories,  i.e., www.domain-name.com/dir more than sub-domain www.sub-domain-name.domain-name.com, as it the bot was designed to crawl sub-directories. However, the biggest advantage of having a sub-domain was that the Bot would treat each sub-domain as independent website. Therefore, possibility was there to see more than one search result for a specific query from the same website containing a number of sub-domain. SEOs used to take advantage of this by going on increasing number of sub-domains.
Recent changes in algorithm seems to have fixed that. I’m not going to tell anything more but to suggest you to follow this link.

Hi! Back to my blog after a long days of interval. I did really miss you all a lot, but I was absolutely occupied with my new project! I’ll tell a lot about that later on but for the time being let me tell you some fabulous new feature of Google Toolbar! It appears that this is going to be the saviour for all of us - the webmasters! when your site returns “404  - Not Found” errors.

You must appreciate it is difficult to get traffic among the forest of websites, so you need to dig hard to get some real visitors. Now if  your visitors see “404 - MESSAGE BOARD” not only that is a frustrating experience for them, it must be a great disappointment for you as well.

As said in their Offical blog: “The latest release of Google Toolbar, however, helps users by detecting site issues and providing alternatives”. Interested? - Read full details here!

Also I’ll let you know about my latest project shortly. I would like to hear your feedback thereon.

Relax! Bye!

Hi! The search engine giant seems to be facing difficulties in keeping up to its promise - sites supported with paid links are still finding decent position in search results. I read about this news, sorry, can’t share the links - but it was in the comments section, where some traces of concrete evidence.

Fact is that it may be hard for the bot to detect paid links - irrespective of how much clever can it be. Or, the bot will penalize sites telling - ‘Your link here for $1′! It may be for advertisement purpose as well, and a claim like that does not guarantee that the owner has managed to earn a single paid link for that site. Getting paid link is not that easy!

So, it will be more like feedback or man-monitored algorithm? I need some serious in sight into this issue.

On the other hand partnership deeds are just going great for Google - with its new tie-up with Swiss Sunrise , the second largest telecommunications company in Switzerland is offering its customers a new e-mail service based on Google Mail.

It looks like Google is also being used as a password cracker read this story.

So the internet is full of Google activity!  More  Google stuff will follow. Stay tuned.

In my constant effort to keep yourself updated with popular keyword search, I would again like to mention below a link to this years top searches for Toys and video!

HitSearchLimited!

It must not be new to you that both toys and videos sell like hot cake, and most of the buyers prefer to follow Google search to rich the best website. The list will help you to get an insight into the top selling toys world as well as top selling videos.

Mike Grehan, of The ClickZ Network has made a thought provoking entry in his post http://www.clickz.com/3627629. We get unsolicited Emails but not all of them are rubbish. You find some occassional one that is interesting as well. Do you agree? And about the guidelines framed by SEs and his opinion - “one man’s spam can often be another’s cutting-edge SEO (define) tactic.”

That is how the world of SEO goes. Black hat strategies are invented and used too often to give a site booster! Who cares? Even when the SEs pick up the trick, the owner has already digested the traffic juice!

Tough luck for rather ethical guys, though they will be rewarded in the loooooooong run! Lol!

Hi! This is a fantastic winter Sunday and I’m about to attend a party! So I’m in a real hurry, and about to leave my working table. Anyway, I will give you a great input that will help you to think over the rest of the day with follow up - ‘Do it now’ doctrine! How can you neglect this asset list of keywords - top fifty for UK searches in the month of November?

Oh! Just getting trapped in word puzzle, so here is the link the lists them all.

And one word of caution for those who prefer Google more to get hits to your website.

PayPerPost is most likely to be in the Google ban list, so it is undoubtedly a black hat SEO. For those bloggers who were earning some decent living with PPP, now is the time to decide, whether to sacrifice Google juice, or to think of another avenues of online earning! Confusing and sad -as being a blogger I know better than nobody else how much difficult it is to earn some money from blogging!
