 Top Ranking Techniques on Google

1) Always have a unique Page Title and Meta Description for EVERY web page of the Web site.

2) Try to limit the number of dynamic parameters in your URL strings to three or less. Additionally, the longer the URL, the less likely Google will always get it right.

3) Make sure you only have ONE distinct URL path to any web page of content and your web site and that you are consistent in the way you link to that page (file name versus folder name).

4) Don’t use capital letters in your URL string. Often Webmasters will link to you with only lowercase letters because of their coding standards and you will have both the URL with the capital letters and the one without indexed in the engines. They are seen as separate pages by the search engines which can cause duplicate content issues and at best case will split your Page Rank.

5) Make sure you have your web pages crossed linked in such a way that all relevant pages link to each other. Not only does this increase the usability of your site, but it increases the opportunity for deep level pages to get Page Rank. A web page that is 6 levels deep in your web site with only one inbound link is not likely to be seen as being very important.

6) Make sure the content on all your web pages is unique. Web Pages with similar or the same content, whether they appear on your own site or a different Web site are actively filtered by Google.

Google Supplemental Results - The End

Webmaster can stop worrying about Google’s supplemental results – they’re now dead. Google has lifted the veil between indices. (i.e. the main index and the supplemental index)

Google introduced its supplemental results in 2003. In what the company then called ” a new Google experiment,” a pair of indexes were created, one for the search engine’s main results, and a second for more obscure queries.

Many Google Gurus suggested that pages in the Google supplemental index often had certain things in common: few or no quality backlinks, orphaned pages, URLs with too many parameters, low PageRank, duplicate content, etc.

Google’s Yonatan Zunger announced that “the elimination of the artificial difference between indices” was complete.

Zunger writes, “rather than searching some part of our index in more depth for obscure queries, we’re now searching the whole index for every query.

“From a user perspective, this means that you’ll be seeing more relevant documents and a much deeper slice of the web, especially for non-English queries. For webmasters, this means that good-quality pages that were less visible in our index are more likely to come up for queries.”

This is really a good news from Google. Though many webmaster may think how Google will now rank the web pages in the main index.

Windows Vista Service Pack 1 - Download

The Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) is almost ready for download as the Microsoft team has given ideas that the packs would be available soon.

The new vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) would come out in 32-bit and 64-bit versions and in English, French, Spanish, German and Japanese languages. You can directly upgrade your vista using the Windows Update option in your windows operating system or else use the download option and install it.

Here are some of the features the Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) would add to your PC :
• Improves the performance of browsing network file shares, by consuming less bandwidth.
• Improves the speed of adding and extracting files to and from a compressed (zipped) folder.
• Significantly improves the speed of moving a directory with many files underneath.
• Improves performance while copying files using BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service).
• Improves performance over Windows Vista’s current performance across the following scenarios:
- 25% faster when copying files locally on the same disk on the same machine;
- 45% faster when copying files from a remote non-Windows Vista system to a SP1 system;
- 50% faster when copying files from a remote SP1 system to a local SP1 system;
- Improves responsiveness when doing many kinds of file or media manipulations. For example, with Windows Vista today, copying files after deleting a different set of files can make the copy operation take longer than needed. In SP1, the file copy time is the same as if no files were initially deleted.
• Improves the copy progress estimation when copying files within Windows Explorer to about two seconds.
• Improves the time to read large images by approximately 50%.
• Improves overall media performance, by reducing many glitches.
• The Windows Vista SP1 install process clears the user-specific data that is used by Windows to optimize performance, which may make the system feel less responsive immediately after install. As the customer uses the SP1 PC, the system will be retrained over the course of a few hours or days, and will return to the previous level of responsiveness.
• SP1 addresses a number of customer performance concerns with new print driver technologies, including XPS-based printing.

With a guarantee that the new service pack you will for sure get a better performance on your PC though it comes with a warning added by Microsoft saying ‘Performance improvements vary from PC to PC based on hardware, environment, scenarios, and usage, so different customers will experience varying levels of benefits. About 20-25% of these improvements will be released separately via Windows update, prior to Windows Vista SP1.
