  Quick Tips for SEO professionals in Web Hosting business to Cope with Google algorithm in 2009

  SEO Tutorials, Web Hosting No Comments

  The SEO (Search Engine Optimization) has been rapidly becoming a dynamic game. SEO professionals need to become more analytical than ever.

  Here are few quick tips for the SEO professionals in the Web Hosting business:

  1. Document Commencement :- In 2009’s Google algorithm, the date of document commencement of a particular website or a single web-page may be used in various areas of Google. The data might be the registration information, the date Google’s robots first botted the links to the site or the page. The SE (Search Engine) might use this data for the purpose of ranking documents to set up credibility and relevance.

  2. Content may impact on Google Ranking:- The freshness and uniqueness of content of the websites and its web-pages might be a crucial factor in the new Google’s algorithm. So would be the effect of outgoing links as well as the Inbound links (though not that crucial but definitely useful). Google is bound to differentiate between the measurement of real, large, changes in the content with superfluous changes and rank based on this data.

  NOTE: Unique content (No matter Fresh or Stale) should always play an important role in the Google algorithm.

  3. Spam :- Spam has been an ever disturbing problem to the web users and also for the Web Hosting service providers. Google is expected to deploy systems for its detection and prevention from the data collected from :

  - Sites whose ranking increases too increases quickly

  - Growth of non-relevant links

  - The percentage of similar anchor text

  - Google is expected to check the registration information, details of hosts, IP addresses, name servers etc and tally them with the Black List.

  - The rate of gaining links.

  4. Google might Measure :-

  a) Online User Behavior

  - Amount of time spent on a given web-site or web page

  - Click-Through Rate (CTR) of the visitors results in the Search Engines Result Pages (SERP’s)

  b) Information of the Domain

  - Date of Registration

  - Addresses and Names of Administrators and the Technical Contacts

  - Name Server Addresses

  - Data Stability

  - Length of Renewal

  - DNS Records

  - Hosting location and Company

  General, News & current Release No Comments

  Google has added one more aircraft to its fleet of airplanes. Its not just an airplane but it’s a Fighter jet.

  In October 2007 the executives used H211 L.L.C. The company also has Boeing 757 and Gulfstream V’s in its fleet. Google soes not have its own runway, so it has all the rights to land its aircrafts on the Moffett Field, which is operated by NASA airfield. The NASA airfield is a neighbor to Google’s campus.

  But the officials are reluctant to declare that all the aircrafts are owned by their company. Rather they are throwing the ball in NASA’s court. So, there is a dilemma as who actually owns the Aircraft’s.

  Microsoft : Not just a software company but also running a Video Game Business.

  General No Comments

  Microsoft once was involved in manufacturing software only, but now by the changing trend it has also started providing other services such as running a video game industry. Apart from focusing on software it has also started trying hands on the other Industries.

  No matter in which Industry Microsoft hops into, but it should learn the skill of focusing onto a particular target. After all, targeting something is a crucial quality. Creating a unique identity is most important.

  Its good that Microsoft is trying to make stand in different sectors too, but it should not keep its major identifier apart (Software). With the help of software production, Microsoft has attained a major level, so keeping this level intact if its trying some other sector is always acceptable. It has till now leaded the market of Operating Systems(OS), Office(MS-Office) for enterprises and students common equipments, as we all know.

  

  I would say that this is a sensible move of Microsoft, as today the world is of web.

  But if we analyze, as Microsoft shifted its focus from OS, Apple grabbed the opportunity and made its stand in the market. So now Microsoft cannot claim itself to be a leader in a particular sector. As Apple declares itself to be a hardware firm, Google as an online service provider and a mobile provider, Microsoft too should declare its identity.

  According to me just being successful is not enough, an identity is essential.
