Bing - Microsoft New Decision Engine



Microsoft is going to release a new search engine which is called Bing. Microsoft team is saying that "people would find a new search experience through Bing, so they are calling it as a decision engine. People would get world class search experience through it which has most latest features and for sure give fine results. In future people would take decisions through Bing only."



Microsoft Bing Profiles on the web :



Few people are saying that Microsoft is giving old wine in new bottle. Bing would be same as Live search. However few people are eagerly waiting for the new search experience with Bing, why because people are got bored with google. Google is Everywhere, Everyone looking for a change. Wait and see what's going to happen.



Wolfram Alpha is completely different from Google


Recently on web, there are so many conversations are going regarding Wolfram Alpha. WolframAlpha is a new search engine which is going to be released on May 18th 2009. It's developed by Stephen Wolfram (creator of Mathematica).

Stephen wolfram planned to release it on May 15, 2009.  As planned they have released on the same date, however due to over load they have shifted the public launch date to May 18, 2009.

Do you know the caption of Wolfram Alpha, it was “computational search engine”. It's completely a different concept of search. It's not at all a competitor for Google or any other search engine. Till now I was in assumption that it will occupy the position of google in future. Just now I have watched a scree cast from Wolfram Alpha  blog


Wolfram Alpha

In this video they have clearly explained that how it displays results for different queries. It was really interesting. If you would like to watch that video just click below. Wait for few mints it will take time to load.


Here I would like to place few screen shots of different searches of  Wolfram Alpha, so that you guys can have a better idea about this computational search engine.

Search for "2+2" in WolframAlpha, to see the result click on the below image to have a larger view :

Tips to request reconsideration in Google


Most of the webmasters face the problem that their sites penalized by the Google. Before submitting, request for reconsideration, just have a look on the following video which is not more than 4 mints. 

In this video Rachel Searles and Brian White who are working in Google Search Quality Team explained clearly about the process.






Discussion as follows in the video :

Brian Says : 

Hi, I am Brian White and this is my colleague Rachel and we are in the Search Quality team in Google in the Web spam group. We are here today with some tips on the reconsideration process. 

Rachel Says: 

All right, let's start with the case where you know your site has violated the Google guidelines, it is important to admit any mistakes you've made and let us know what you've done to try to fix them. Some times we get requests from people who say: "My site adheres to the guidelines now," and that is not really enough information for us. So, please be as detailed as possible. 

Realize that there are people actually reading these requests, including the people in this room. If you do not know what your site might have done to get a penalty, go back to the Google guidelines and reread them carefully before requesting reconsideration. Look at the things to avoid and ask questions of people that work on your site, if you do not work on it yourself. If you'd like that advice of a third party, you can also seek help in our google webmaster forum. 

Brian Says: 

Sometimes we get reconsideration request or where the requester associates technical website issues with a penalty. An example could be that the server timed out for a while, or that bad content was delivered for a time, and google is pretty adaptive to these kinds of transient issues with websites. So people sometimes misread the situation as "I have a penalty" and then seek reconsideration. And it is probably good idea to wait a bit and see if things revert to their previous state. Some people attribute duplicate content with leading to a penalty and usually the problem lies elsewhere. And say you are in a partnership with someone else, say another website, and they put this combined effort together in a way that goes against our quality guidelines and involve both your website and theirs and then the end effort reflects badly on both. 

You have control over your site, but sometimes it's hard to get stuff cleaned up on sites you do not control. We are sympathetic to these situations. Just make your best effort to document that in a complete reconsideration request. In the case of say bad links that were gathered, point us to a URL that shows your exhaustive effort to clean that up. Also, we have pretty good tools internally, so do not try to fool us as there are actual people, as Rachel said, looking at your reports. If you intentionally pass along bad or misleading information, we will disregard that request for reconsideration. 

Rachel : And please do not spam the reconsideration form, it does not help to submit in multiple requests all at the same time, just one detailed concise report and just get it right the first time. Your request will be reviewed by a member of our team and we do review them promptly, that said if you have some new information to add about your site, go ahead and file a new reconsideration request. And finally, if reconsideration does happen, please be aware that it can take some time to notice when a penalty has been lifted. 

Brian Says : 

Yes, the bottom line is we care very deeply for our search engine users, and we want them to be happy and not have to complain. So make sure that 

A) The issues are fixed with your site before filing reconsideration
B) Make sure that we don't have to worry about your site violating the quality guidelines in the future.

So, from the people who are part of the reconsideration process, from our end, thank you.

Rachel Says: Thank you

Reasons Behind Bad Seo Services


Recently Seo Scams are getting increased day by day. Reading so many stories in the forums by stating that I have cheated by this seo service. Few clients are personally shared with me their experiences that how they have cheated by the services.

I have did a little research why all this was happening. At last i came to a conclusion now why this is repeating. People who don't have a long vision would do these kind of mistakes. They thought that their knowledge is enough to establish and run a company. They never look and thought of long term results. Feel that they could do it. 

Professionals with little experience who are working with a good seo companies will come out side and establish an organization. Now they will look for clients. Getting clients and satisfying them is not an ordinary matter, so they will promise everything what the client asks while taking the project. At the moment when they are taking the project they won't bother about results. They are in a dilemma that they will try for it, however they will promise to client that they will give it. At last they will often fail and receives a bad reputation in the market.

Few people will promise to the clients that they will get sales and leads through SEO. SEO helps you in getting the leads and conversions, however it won't give directly leads and conversions. That's a wrong statement. SEO guys can promise about search engine friendly optimization, page rank and SERP's.  Search Engine Marketing professionals should promise about leads and conversions. 

For a successful online business an organization should have :

  • SEO Professional
  • SEM Professional
  • SMO Professional
  • Web Designer
  • Programmer 
  • Quality Professional
  • Leader
  • Investor

To run a successful business at least we should have the above professionals.  All those guys should have well expertise in those respective fields then only organization will move towards success. I request to the guys who are establishing new companies, Never start a company with half knowledge. It's not good for you and also your clients.

Google Plans for faster search using Ajax


Google is planning to display search results using Ajax, Currently results are coming through normal Html. In Feb 2009 read few posts stating that Google is testing new interface with the help of Ajax

Use of Ajax in displaying results is good, it makes search smoother and faster, However experts says that it creates major problems for analytics tracking. Especially in referral string tracking. 

Present normal process is for example some one is searching for seo updates in Google, we will get the following url in current process :


If Google have used Ajax in displaying search results then the url would be look like this :


Have you observed the difference between the first and second url. In the second url we have got # in the place of search? . It means browser won't send the code which is after #. So Analytics not able to get the referrer string to track which is after #. In result for all google visits what we get, analytics will show only the home page of google.com instead of the complete referrer string url. You never found that using which keyword the visitor came to your site. This is the major problem in Ajax. It was clearly stated in the clicky blog.

Google is stating that to come out with this problem, they will use gateway urls for better tracking and faster search results. It seems Google team is working on this from the past few months, hope they sorted out this problem. Of course they weren't revealed it yet. Yesterday (Apr 14, 2008) in Google analytics blog they have posted that there is a change in Google search referrals however it won't effect analytics tracking. Hope this is something related to Ajax feature, any ways we can't come to a conclusion until google announce it officially. 

According to that blog post old Google.com search referrals seems following :

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=seo updates&btnG=Google+Search 

According to the change we will see something like this now :

http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=7&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com%2Fmypage.htm&ei=0SjdSa-1N5O8M_qW8dQN&rct=j&q=flowers&usg=AFQjCNHJXSUh7Vw7oubPaO3tZOzz-F-u_w&sig2=X8uCFh6IoPtnwmvGMULQfw

Few months back Mattcutts declared  that they are testing new Ajax interface using javascript to enhance search results. Google team is testing it on less search results (Even less than 1%). They too don't know whether it's breaking analytics or not. It's still in testing stage. Few users are getting the test results, according to these test results they will experiment every thing and will come to a conclusion that in what areas they need to work out to fix everything.

Have a look on the following video that what Mattcutt says about 'Search using Ajax' :




Looking forward for Google faster and smoother search results using Ajax ..... :)
