CUIL.com: Test the browser CUIL

July 29, 2008

The final challenge is called Search Engine CUIL, somewhat like the pronunciation of the word “cool” in Spanish. At it, and we do not like recent .

Although they would have already heard his name CUIL. For anyone who knows a little world of search engines you know that when companies like Microsoft, with its technical and economic capacity to live.com behind, unable to maintain their market share, competing with God is that Google is not easy.

As every time you reach yet another new candidate search to fill our home page or our search bar, I decided to try it. After 10 0 12 searches, I think oil is more than a bank of herring in the waters of the Faroe Islands .

There are 2 sections :

  1. Interfaces, or search form and manner of presentation of results .
  2. relevance of the results .

The interface does not seem practical results, only the suggestion of related searches that appears at the top is something practical. It is clear that we are very accustomed to the format of classical results, since the 3 logical and thousands of other leading search engines and directories use it, but I think there is something more than usual.
Cuilo text shows something of the web pages taught in its results, but not better than the texts that extracts Google can take 2 separate paragraphs …

In terms of relevance, you do not need much time or evidence to refer to the preceding paragraph, the “most crude herring …”. If we look for the word TRAVEL, we get the first 10 results from 3 personal pages. I have no doubt that these gentlemen will enjoy on their travels and his stories are interesting and entertaining, but what if doubt is that for a generic search CUIL which claims to have over 3 billion pages indexed, these personal pages are relevant 3 to anyone (except your family and friends ).

As always, competition is welcome to this world every day at the feet of God Google (both users “flat” as a professional), but we would like a more competent jurisdiction … I’m still waiting ….

Evolution of Electronic Commerce in Spain

July 29, 2008

The CMT has recently published the figures on e-commerce in Spain of the 3rd quarter of 2007 .

The figures are good, as the Electronic Commerce in Spain increased between July and September 2007 52%, both in amount and number of transactions. Everything is interesting, but I see only a couple of issues that I think are noteworthy :
  1. Gone growth of 100% year on year in 2003 and 2004, and we move away from 80% in 2005. Logical ¿? possible, and a vaccine against more “bubbles “.
  2. sectors that carry the bulk of the business is small, stable and travel, tourism, gaming, betting, advertising and ticket purchase are 60% of the business .

Use RSS to increase traffic to your blog

July 20, 2008

Today we find ourselves increasingly with blogs where the number of readers via RSS is increasing considerably, although sometimes jump when the feed reader to the blog. So give our readers the option to subscribe to our feed or via mail is very important to have a community of faithful followers.

When we visited many blogs on a daily basis, the most convenient and easiest is to use a feed reader, either online as Google Reader or installed in our computer as can be Newzie, Feedreader or anything else, so when we find an interesting blog we would just have to continue to subscribe to its RSS feed and visit our feed reader to see if it was updated.

If you do not do this, we should add it to “favourites” and be entering the browser’s menu whenever we would visit a different blog, holding the problems of slow loading of some sites, advertising, etc.… or what is even harder to remember the address of your blog (which becomes impossible when you visit every day between 50 and 100) and enter one by one.

In addition, when the blog is professional, as is our case, and in it we have before us is producing advertising revenue, any form of loyalty to visitors is good and even more so when there are servers as Feed Burned already offer us the opportunity to add Adsense ads in the reviews of our articles they reach subscribers blog.

For all this, my recommendation is that once you have prepared the blog, before you start to get readers Publicité you register on a server feed tray and served them in your power back visitors.

Like all classic blog, it is known that organizes up through categories and labels (tags), usually most of the themes are in the sidebar list of categories of the blog, according to generate this list of categories is wp_list_categories. The any argument which takes us back to include within the category list or default if we do not include any arguments.

If your blog have any category, which want, or think it has many followers, you can put your rss icon for your readers who may have information of this category of a quick and easy.

Even if your blog is new and these retouching the theme you can be very useful to place links to the RSS in each category so that when you win a new visitor might have the chance to win a new reader.

With the following example, generate a list in alphabetical order of the category, which shows a link to the RSS feed for each category.

<ul>
<? PHP wp_list_categories ( ‘orderby = name & show_count = 1 & feed = RSS’);>
</ ul>
If you want to change the link by an icon of rss, you can change the lines above, the following:

<ul>
<? php wp_list_categories ( ‘orderby name & show_count = = = 1 & feed_image / img / rss.gif’);>
</ ul>
Where img / rss.gif is the direction or path where the image of feed this category, with this argument really can create different things for our blog, it is only a matter of our imagination.

Compare Haki and Google searches

July 15, 2008

Has long been talk of semantic search and perhaps one of its greatest exponents, the search Haki. There is a simple tool that allows us to compare and Haki Google – Google and Haki, immediately .
What you offer is nothing new, but useful: a page that allows you to compare and the same search on Google and Haki .

http://club.hakia.com/challenge/default2.aspx ?

sincerely searches for business (companies, products, services), as they mostly do, there is little comparison. It is not that Haki is a bit slower than Google to return results, it is the results obtained, details such as the setting for the relevant geographical location (country) from which the search is made (the fact that Google we have come) are missing .

I hate Twitter and you ?

July 5, 2008

I do not like anything Twitter and I must admit that when I see people like Enrique Dans in twitter I wonder what’s wrong with a life that is totally dumped there. Have time to class? how to bathe her son with one hand on the keyboard?

But well into the Black Hat SEO I found a fairly critical post with Twitter with which I laughed. Here it widely.

If you see me on Twitter:

* Twitter is the biggest waste of time since the MMorpgs and has the same return on investment, 40 cents an hour.
* If you see me on Twitter I will be thinking as spam. Whenever I pick up the rss of a person, rename, add 4 or 5 more people and thus dynamically mount multiple blogs.
* Also I dump my blog entries via twitter a lot of clones…
* You might see me because I am in a Starbucks in Miami (unlikely thing for Miami and a Starbucks), because you have earned much money in one way or absurd because it has lost equal.
* You may also have been having dinner at a restaurant with King and would like to make it public (it’s less likely to starbucks and that is fucked (detesto such cafes)
* Basically, I will be doing any jet that probably do not interest the least. If that Twitter Geek is the solution to those who have not finished integrating into the Reality Shows and want to continue Celebrities online in an attempt to integrate / entertainment.

Top phrases you must know for better SEO position

July 5, 2008

You do not have to be an expert to know that the content and links are the most important ways to get good positions in search engines.

Here are some points you should check on your site:

Keywords in content: if your content does not have the words you want to position your site then you can not compete, this is not repeated several times the keyword (that is spam), is as natural as possible and uses phrases where considerable opportunities without saturating the reader.

There is no exact number to use for the keyword density, but have content semantically related to large scales can help greatly in positioning.

Page 404 of error: error page is an excellent source of information, the right thing is to have a custom error page that a good image when you can not find the right page, some of the best cases can be found here.

Some pages as Google does not have a good error page, and others like Youtube Is nisiquiera have any explanation?

Problems with the bots: it is imperative to monitor the bots to know when they have indexed, updated or accessed the page, and especially to know what kind of mistakes can have when trying to access our site. The frequency with which they are visiting the site is a factor that the expert recommends Hamlet Batista to assess time to analyze the importance of incoming links.

Hamlet Batista is the creator of Ranksense, software that aims to help the Seosan and individuals with the automation of specific tasks and processes.

Robots.txt: with the robots.txt can deny access to the robots so that they can not access certain folders, if they have sufficient knowledge can be used to avoid duplicate content.

Sitemap.xml: sitemap.xml (both of Google as Yahoo) to serve the search engine can reach all the URLs on your site, you can assign the file data as the refresh rate, update and relevance of the page.

HTML Navigation:
navigation menus must be in HTML or text form, not with images, this is one of the most common mistakes of Maquet / designers.

The eyes of the browser:
it is extremely important to know how the finder can view your page, you can see a text version of the Google cache or using tools like this or this.

Alternative text over the images: this is very important both for users and for search engines, search engines can not understand the images so the only reference that we can give is to attribute atl = “”.

Web design Flash: please use the flash must be moderated, pages made entirely in flash are extremely difficult (almost impossible) to position, especially in highly competitive markets.

Titles and Goals: titles are unique are IMPRESINDIBLES (see how you can create a good title), the title is the most important attribute of your site, that combined with a meta description designed to generate clicks (attracting visitors) can be a point Key to the success of your site.

Frames: you can define your Web site as one not meant to position themselves, if a company at this stage gives you a design framed simply di NO.

Code: validation of the w3c is not essential, but a good design and coding that allows the search engines can access your Web without major difficulties.

Google provides tools that can enable most of these checks as is the Google Webmaster Central and Google Analytics, you can also make use of the browser to check the titles, goals and pages that can be seen as duplicate content.

I recommend you read the basic guide for positioning elaborate a little more on the subject. Does that make any comment?
