A couple weeks ago a new internet search engine named Cuil.com burst onto the internet scene fueled by media hype and the celebrated resume of it’s co-founders, husband and wife team Tom Costello and Anna Patterson, the latter of whom was formerly one of Google’s top engineers, as well as a couple of other ex Google top-level employees Russell Power and Louis Monier.

Although Cuil launched July 28th, I wanted to wait a couple weeks to give them a chance to iron out any bugs before forming an opinion as it’s debut was marred by it’s server crashing due to overload as well as the search engine returning photos from competing sites and attributing them to the wrong site. Naturally this lead to people in the SEO world jumping on the bandwagon to predict it’s early demise, however I wanted to take some time to let Cuil get it’s act together before really evaluating it’s potential… after all, Rome was not built in a day and lest people forget, neither was Google. I know because I was a very early adopter of Google and began using it within months of it’s launch on September 21, 1999 and while better than anything else around at the time, I can assure you Google was not nearly as refined an engine as the Google of 2008.

Ok, so now that I have given this startup time to get it’s act together and refine it’s results, how exactly does it rate in terms of actual performance?

Well, it seems that the photo attribution glitch has been corrected and there have been no more reports of server crashes. As for the returned results, that is a mixed story.

In several tests I have performed on various search terms, Cuil, who claims to have indexed more web pages than any other search engine (over 120 Billion) returns relatively few results for keywords that should have substantially more results. Also, in terms of the relevancy of the SERP’s (Search Engine Results Pages), Cuil seems to be hit or miss, with them returning irrelevant results seemingly as many times as they return relevant ones. This is a difficult thing to quantify as one could enter 1 Million search phrases and still be scratching the surface in terms of the amount of actual searches done monthly on the myriad of search engines around, not to mention for a true quantitative analysis you would need to actually compare the results across all the engines and in the end except in obvious cases, who is to say definitively what results are more relevant?

This much is safe to say though- while sometimes Cuil is reasonably accurate, there is definite room for improvement.

The founders of Cuil claim that rather than just primarilly looking at the number and quality of links to a webpage as Google’s technology does to determine ranking results, Cuil claims to understand more about the information on a page and the terms that people use to search.

Because of this fundamental shift in algorithm priorities, Cuil promises to re-emphasize the actual content of websites vs. in Googles case placing much too much emphasis on inbound, and especially non-reciprocal links to judge relevancy.

This is very ironic because it was precisely because of Search Engine Optimization professionals gaming the system by over-aggressive SEO (some would say) in the first place that led to Google adjusting thier algorithm to place more weight on inbound links to establish a so-called relevant site. In actuality however, while some SEO consultants definitely are mischievious and up to no good, the bulk of SEO companies are merely determining what best facilitates the search engine spiders ability to read and judge the content in a viable and effective way and then presenting it to them as such. That Google was incapable of weeding out over-optimized sites and not truly relevant sites is not necessarilly the fault of any SEO company, but rather falls on the shoulders of the “Big G” themselves for not having a more robust algorithm to detect this foul play, so it will be very interesting to see if Cuil’s algorithm over time can perform and retrieve the most relevant results based of the content on a given webpage rather than simply judging it to be the best largely because of the number of inbound links the site in question has.

Anyone that uses a search engine is painstakingly familiar with Wikipedia dominating the SERP’s with often times completely irrelevant pages merely because they have the most inbound links. After all, which is more preferrable as a result for your search engine query; a single page on a subject, or an entire website devoted to that same subject as the case may be? Sure, Wikipedia pages are sometimes very helpful and relevant but just as often the results return an outdated, or innacurate page, sometimes with information taken from the “authority site” that it actually outranking. Hardly the most relevant result many times, but due to the overwhelming number of inbound and unreciprocated links Wikipedia has (due to thier use of the no-follow attribute), Google judges it to be the best result based seemingly almost solely on that single factor.

Another key difference between Cuil and the other search engines is that Cuil does not log your I.P. information as does Google which is sure to be viewed as a positive by privacy activists.

As for cosmetic issues, one thing that seems to be universally condemned by just about everyone is Cuil’s odd choice of a 3 column design for it’s results as it makes it somewhat confusing as to which site actually ranks where although one does have the option to change to a 2 column results page which in this writers opinion is not much better.

Also, for a company that raised 33 Million in venture capital, one would think they could come up with a better domain name than “cuil” (pronounced as “cool”) which supposedly means “knowledge” in Gaelic.

So in summary, what is the final verdict on Cuil? Well honestly, after only 2 weeks it is still much too soon to tell. As mentioned earlier many of the results are irrelevant, with some being dead-on. Given the state of search today and with many people becoming more and more uncomfortable with the behemoth that is Google and competitors like Yahoo turning over thier users search data to the Chinese government, many people are hungry for a young upstart to challenge Goliath and the narrative of it being done by ex-Google employees defecting to start thier own operation has a nice ring to it, but only time will tell if they are up to the challenge.

Realistically though, Google is not going anywhere anytime soon if at all, however from what I have been able to see, Cuil’s results are already better than most “second tier” search engines (the ones below Google, Yahoo and MSN) so maybe given some time it’s not unreasonable to think Cuil can nibble away at some of Yahoo’s and MSN’s share of the pie… or they could simply agree to be bought out to avoid the competition. At this point it’s a crapshoot to know how things will shake out, but either way it will be interesting to watch.

Blogger, Most used Free & Self hosting blogging platform, has been update now with a new look in Add Page Element Area. Yes, Add Page Element Area has been update and now we couldn’t take a watch on “Add Page Element” coz this word in blogspot been replaced with Add a Gadget.

Now we can use many more inbuilt Google gadgets in blogspot. We don’t need to search it from Google, Take a code and than install in new page element. Also all look and theme of Add Page Element area been changed with new image icons and large fonts.

Just check out this look by login to your Blogger account at http://www.blogger.com/ and Enjoy Blogging.

Here are 7 tips I’ve found can reduce bounce rate. They really do work, unless you’re an overworked blogger who’s running an agency, writing a book and has 2 kids under the age of 10:

1. Answer questions. When someone comes to your site, they’re probably not thinking “Gee, I wonder what their office looks like.” Instead, they’re asking, “Do you have the mountain bike I really want”? Which question do you answer? Answer the latter and you’ll keep more visitors. (Inspired by Specialized.com)
2. Simplify. Believe it or not, every person in your company does not get to contribute one link to your home page. The average person is most comfortable processing 5-7 choices at a time. Don’t overwhelm them. Simplify by removing options or at least grouping and prioritizing them. How many links does Google have on their home page? How about Apple? Look at your traffic reports, find out what visitors really want, and then link to that and only that. If anyone in your office whines, blame me.
3. Remove autoplay videos. My first reflex if a video starts playing and music that sounds like a bad 70’s porn flick comes streaming out of my speakers is to hit the back button. I’m willing to bet most people feel the same way. Remove the video altogether, or at least have it paused.
4. Improve pageload time. If your home page takes more than 8 seconds to look intelligible, you’re probably shedding visitors. Note I said ‘look intelligible’, not ‘load completely’. If there’s a huge image or a video that takes longer, that’s OK, as long as it doesn’t prevent the rest of the page from loading. Trim 2-3 seconds off your pageload time and watch the bounce rate drop. Proof? When I first relaunched my blog, a bug in the code led to 10-15 second load times. Once we fixed it, the bounce rate dropped by 30%.
5. Write a better headline. A punchy, take-action headline will keep visitors. Instead of “Enterprise Security Solutions for A Web 2.0 Workplace”, try “Protect Your Network” (I made this example up).
6. Move the important stuff up. If you have a store, show products near the top of the page. If you’re promoting a candidate, put that message at the top. Always put your call to action up high, front-and-center. If you’re uncomfortable doing that, you may have the wrong call to action.
7. Dump the popup. I shouldn’t even have to say this any more, but if you have a popup or other annoyance on your home page, get rid of it. You’re losing a lot more than you’re gaining, plus you’re making me hate you.

We all know the work of web designer. The beautiful design of a website can attracts the internet user but if it not properly not optimized then no one will reach to the website to see the design. A seo optimize a website that will help a website to rank high in search engines. But some of the seo knowledge will help the designers to make the website search engine as well as human friendly.

Here are some useful tips that will help designer to make search engine friendly website :

1. Try to focus on plain websites. It loads quickly and easily crawl by search engines.

2. Choose page name relevant to the page content and should be human-friendly. If a page provides seo tips for webdesigners then it should be webdesigners-seo-tips.html not 16.html or webdesigners55.html. Also avoid underscore, use hyphen between the words.

3. The page should be content rich and keep the content inside the P tag.

4. Avoid use of table. If possible replace the table using div.

5. Optimize the images used on the website. It will help to increase the loading speed of images.

6. Add alt tags to the images and it should be relevant to the images.

7. Avoid use of javascript. The javascript creates problem in crawling the pages by search engines. Use external javascript file.

8. For better navigation, use bread crumbs. For example Home >> Tips >> Web Designer Tips.

9. Create sitemap for a website. It help robots to go to any page from this page.

10. Donot add CSS in the web pages. It will make a web page heavy. Use external CSS file.

11. Remove useless text from the page like comments text.

12. Avoid use of frame.

13. Use text navigation instead of image navigation. Text navigation will help users and search engines to navigate easily and it will help to increase ranking of the page in the search engines by a particular keyword used as anchor text.

14. Keep the page size not more than 30-50 kb.

15. Use heading tags for the target keyword of the page and also for the heading of the page.

In today’s context social networking is about connecting with people at a low cost with existing devices and technology. Until a few years ago it used to be that you had six degrees of separation to connect with anybody in the world. With the advent of networking tools and search it has become easier to span those six degrees of separation and the ability to connect is now just a couple of mouse clicks away.

In India social networking might evolve differently when compared to the USA or other countries. But, before delving deeper into how social networking will evolve in India let us look at what is social networking.

What is Social Networking? Social network is defined as “a social structure made of nodes (which are generally individuals or organizations) that are tied by one or more specific types of relations, such as values, visions, idea, financial exchange, friends, kinship, dislike, conflict, trade, web links, sexual relations, disease transmission (epidemiology), or airline routes.” (Wikipedia)

This social networking concept spread to the computer world in the 1970s when researchers envisioned people connecting and interacting via computers. So in the pre-Mosaic and pre-Netscape days of the197s to mid-1990s you had Usenet groups for various interests. For instance, soc.culture.indian was a Usenet group where many Indian students in the USA got their questions answered about travel, graduate programs or connecting with their classmates. Out of soc.culture.indian grew various Usenet groups for different Indian states and languages.

During the dotcom boom you had social networking groups like sixdegrees.com, classmates.com , epinion, and others. What was different about these groups was an instant ability to browse and search through archives in an easy way. Then in early 2002 a new avatar of social networking took off in a big way with the launch of Friendster, Orkut, MySpace, Facebook and Linkedin among others. What these sites have in common is a rich (including multimedia) feature set that allows for sharing information easily and some sites allow for integration of third-party widgets and applications. So, social networking in its different avatars has been around in the USA for over 30 years (if you factor in the Usenet groups.)

Viral Marketing India:
In India social networking is a relatively new concept due to obvious reasons: low penetration of PCs and laptops and patchy broadband connections. What that means is that while people were aware of these social networking groups and applications they had limited means to access them. However in the last four years the social networking landscape has changed quite a bit in India. In a relatively short period of time certain social networking sites like Orkut and Fropper appear to have taken off, and new ones like Linkedin and Facebook are beginning to find traction among Indian users. What is driving this traction is still unclear. Is it the novelty of being able to network with people? Or, is there a genuine interest driving this adoption?
