nicola — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 13:45:35 +0000

The new Google’s Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide covers around a dozen common areas that webmasters might consider optimizing. These areas (like improving title and description meta tags, URL structure, site navigation, content creation, anchor text, and more) would apply to webmasters of all experience levels and sites of all sizes and types.

Google plans on updating the guide at regular intervals with new optimization suggestions and to keep the technical advice current.

Data-profiling… and our privacy?

nikkey — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 10:10:46 +0000

I like the web. It is a place of freedom, community and knowledge.

However, you must follow some rules and know what goes on when you are sitting in front of your pc.

I am scared by the quantity of information about myself I end up sharing with others – and I don’t know who they are.

They track us down for business. Business is not devil, as Google teaches us, but spying on us every second might be.

If you care about your privacy, have a look at the software below:

TrackMeNot is a lightweight browser extension that helps protect web searchers from surveillance and data-profiling by search engines. It does so not by means of concealment or encryption (i.e. covering one’s tracks), but instead, paradoxically, by the opposite strategy: noise and obfuscation. With TrackMeNot, actual web searches, lost in a cloud of false leads, are essentially hidden in plain view. User-installed TrackMeNot works with the Firefox Browser and popular search engines (AOL, Yahoo!, Google, and MSN) and requires no 3rd-party servers or services.
SCookies – Share your Cookies!
SCookies simply shares your cookies with other users that enabled it too. It sends your cookies to a centralized server and gets another user’s cookie in return. By doing so, your profile will then be built on many other user’ search queries, thus the profiles are not realiable.
It is a Firefox extension.
Scroogle is a web service that disguises the Internet address of users who want to run Google searches anonymously. Scroogle also gives users the option of having all communication between their computer and the search page be SSL encrypted.
Besides anonymous searches, the tool allows users to perform Google searches without receiving Google advertisements. There is support for 28 languages, and the tool is available as a browser plug-in. A secure connection to the Scroogle website is also possible.
Privoxy is a non-caching web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for enhancing privacy, modifying web page data, managing HTTP cookies, controlling access, and removing ads, banners, pop-ups and other obnoxious Internet junk. Privoxy has a flexible configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs and tastes. Privoxy has application for both stand-alone systems and multi-user networks.

Website promotion: Fast Blog Finder

You need to get your website indexed by search engines. But to get your web page indexed, you must let the search engines’ robots know where your web page is located. In other words, you need links, links and more links! And not just any links.

What you need is links from themed websites!

Themed links are links coming from a site that is related to what your site is all about. A related link is worth more weight than links coming from a non-related site.

A way for getting backlinks is commenting on blogs and including the URL for your site.

Blog commenting is one of the easiest FREE ways to get themed links to your site. All you need to do is to leave a comment on related blogs and include some anchored text linking back to your site. The other advantage is that some of the pages that you comment on have high PageRank!

Maybe you wont’ believe but there are tens of thousands, if not millions of blogs out there that actually want your comments on them… But searching manually for blogs that have page rank and discuss the right topic can be time consuming. It can take hours! Not any more.

With the Blog Finder software you can find hundreds of themed blogs in minutes! The Free edition of Blog Finder allows you find up to 50 blogs for each keyword phrase… no too bad

Motori di ricerca

Una grandissima parte dei navigatori si affida ai motori di ricerca (più di un neofita ritiene che google o virgilio siano internet!)

ricercando qualche termine, il nostro sito:

appare	quindi il posizionamento del nostro sito è
nella prima pagina	ottimo
nella seconda pagina	buono
nella terza pagina	sufficiente
nelle pagine seguenti	insufficiente

pochi utenti sanno utilizzare la ‘ricerca avanzata’ e si affidano quindi alla ricerca semplice di uno o due termini
