  • List of Search Engines
    A blog network is a group of blogs that are connected to each other in a network. A blog network can either be a group of loosely connected blogs, or a group of blogs that are owned by the same company. The purpose of such a network is usually to promote the other blogs in the same network and therefore increase the advertising revenue generated from online advertising on the blogs.[1] List of search engines From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For knowing popular web search engines see, see Most popular Internet search engines.

  • Classification of Automated Web Traffic
    Classi¯cation of Automated Web Tra±c Greg Buehrer, Jack W. Stokes, Kumar Chellapilla and John C. Platt As web search providers seek to improve both relevance and response times, they are challenged by the ever-increasing tax of automated search query traf- ¯c. Third party systems interact with search engines for a variety of reasons, such as monitoring a web site's rank, augmenting online games, or possibly to maliciously alter click-through rates. In this paper, we investigate automated tra±c (sometimes referred to as bot tra±c) in the query stream of a large search engine provider. We de¯ne automated tra±c as any search query not generated by a human in real time. We ¯rst provide examples of di®erent categories of query logs generated by automated means. We then develop many di®erent features that distinguish between queries generated by peo- ple searching for information, and those generated by automated processes. We categorize these features into two classes, either an interpretation of the physical model of human interactions, or as behavioral patterns of automated interactions. Using the these detection features, we next classify the query stream using multiple binary classi¯ers. In addition, a multiclass classi¯er is then developed to identify subclasses of both normal and automated tra±c. An active learning algorithm is used to suggest which user sessions to label to improve the accuracy of the multiclass classi¯er, while also seeking to discover new classes of automated tra±c. Performance analysis are then provided. Fi- nally, the multiclass classi¯er is used to predict the subclass distribution for the search query stream.

    Search Engine Optimization Rob Ruchte & Jon Williams April 22, 2009 Why should we trust your information about SEO? -Jonathan Champ We’re not SEO salesmen - we’re developers What makes you an expert? We’ve been building sites since BG (Before Google), have witnessed the evolution of SE technology We work for ad agencies who promise their clients big SE results - we have to deliver. For which keywords do you rank well? How does Google’s PageRank work? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank Strategic Outline (Text) Content Tactics (Graphic) Design Tactics Technology Tactics Social Tactics Content: King is, was, and will always be. Secret sauce = snake oil Spend 80% of your efforts developing great content. Keyword refinement & SEM comes last. (20%) Content: Be Remark-able! Be Remarkable. http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/ seth_godin_on_sliced_bread.html Content: Be Remark-able! Content Safe = Boring = Death As fresh as possible, as often as possible. Content: Semantics Sprinkle keywords (lightly!) across hierarchy of semantic tags. <TITLE> <H1>, <H2>, <H3>, etc <strong>, <emphasis> <img alt=”Image Description” /> <meta> (deprecated?) Yahoo still considers keywords Content: Keywords Work your target keywords and keyword phrases into header, link, and paragraph content. Use synonyms: http://thesaurus.com Content: K.I.S.S. Quality over Quantity Web users favor scanning over reading. Keep it short and specific. Google favors pages with high (relevant) keyword density. Break longer pages into parts. Content: Generic vs Specific Both! Create a content hierarchy From more generic to more specific. Allow users to read (and link to) the appropriate level of detail. For example: http://www.instructables.com/ Content: ISO Perfection In Search Of Perfection http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/ malcolm_gladwell_on_spaghetti_sauce.html Content: ISO Perfection Content There is no perfect page.

  • Web Search Engine
    Web search engine A web search engine is designed to search for information on the World Wide Web and FTP servers. The search results are generally presented in a list of results and are often called hits. The information may consist of web pages, images, information and other types of files. Some search engines also mine data available in databases or open directories. Unlike Web directories, which are maintained by human editors, search engines operate algorithmically or are a mixture of algorithmic and human input. How web search engines work:- A search engine operates, in the following order 1. Web crawling 2. Indexing 3. Searching Web search engines work by storing information about many web pages, which they retrieve from the html itself. These pages are retrieved by a Web crawler (sometimes also known as a spider) — an automated Web browser which follows every link on the site. Exclusions can be made by the use ofrobots.txt. The contents of each page are then analyzed to determine how it should be indexed (for example, words are extracted from the titles, headings, or special fields called meta tags). Data about web pages are stored in an index database for use in later queries. A query can be a single word. The purpose of an index is to allow information to be found as quickly as possible. Some search engines, such as Google, store all or part of the source page (referred to as a cache) as well as information about the web pages, whereas others, such as AltaVista, store every word of every page they find.
