SEO is the process to optimize a website so that it ranks well on Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs). Dynamic websites are commonly used for e-commerce because they are easier to update and expand; however they are subjected to indexing related problems. Objectives: This research aims to examine and address dynamic websites indexing related issues. To achieve aims and objectives of this research I intend to explore dynamic websites indexing considerations, investigate SEO tools to carry SEO campaign in three major search engines (Google, Yahoo and Bing), experiment SEO techniques, and determine to what extent dynamic websites can be made search engine friendly on these major search engines.

  • How Does Google Work?
    With Genealogy Links: http://www.ci.oswego.or.us/library/genealogy-presentation How does Google work? Google’s Computers: Google utilizes many computers known as “servers” to administer (serve) Google services. Google likely has around one million servers for different functions including analyzing search queries and delivering search results. One of their largest “server farms” is located in the Dalles, Oregon. Google is very secretive about how many servers it actually has. When you run a search with Google, you’ll notice that Google brags that brings back your results in a fraction of a second —For example: About 11,700,000 results (0.27 seconds), this is the result of many of Google’s servers working together on your search together. Indexing the Web: Google browses the visible web and creates and re-creates an index of the websites it browses. When you run a Google search you aren’t searching the Web itself, but instead Google’s index of sites with links to live pages that it created when it last indexed the web. Google has the largest index of web pages of any search engine, indexing over 55 billion web pages! When Google indexes the web it makes a copy of the site for its “cache”. When you search with Google and come across a website which is currently down, you can mouseover a site in the search results, then the double arrows and then click on “cached” to see what the site recently looked like when it was last indexed or before it went down. Useful for find- ing information that “was just there yesterday!”.

  • Extending Full Text Search Engine for Mathematical Content
    Extending Full Text Search Engine for Mathematical Content Jozef Mišutka and Leo Galamboš Charles University in Prague, Ke Karlovu 3, 121 16 Prague, Czech Republic E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The WWW became the main resource of mathematical knowl- edge. Currently available full text search engines can be used on these documents but they are deficient in almost all cases. By applying ax- ioms, equal transformations, and by using different notation each formula can be expressed in numerous ways. Most of these documents do not contain semantic information; therefore, precise mathematical interpre- tation is impossible. On the other hand, semantic information can help to give more precise information. In this work we address these issues and present a new technique how to search for mathematical formulae in real-world mathematical documents, but still offering an extensible level of mathematical awareness. It exploits the advantages of full text search engine and stores each formula not only once but in several gener- alised representations. Because it is designed as an extension, any full text search engine can adopt it. Based on the proposed theory we developed EgoMath — new mathematical search engine. Experiments with EgoMath over two document sets, containing semantic information, showed that this technique can be used to build a fully-fledged mathematical search engine. Key words: mathematical discourse, language processing, mathematical searching, full text search engine, indexing 1 Introduction There are several ways how to create and publish semantically annotated mathematical content. However, these documents are still a minority of the mathematical content on the WWW. Among the commonly used document formats to exchange mathematics (LATEX, MathML, PDF, PS, Word) only MathML contains support for semantics.

Experimenten utgår från två olika ordlistor och utförs på ett textanalysverktyg - Overview, och på ett IT-forensiskt verktyg - EnCase. Då de två verktygen använder sig av olika metoder vid sökningar och är utformade för olika syften så går studien även igenom olika metoder av data mining och forensiska metoder. Dataset i form av chattkonversationer har samlats in inför studiens experiment, och har därefter kategoriserats efter harmfull och harmlös data.

  • PART II Finding Needles in the World's Biggest Haystack
    PART II Finding Needles in the World's Biggest Haystack - or - The Page Match & Page Rank Problems We will look at how a search engine carries out an impossible task: • Read your search word or phrase; • search all 40 billion pages on the Internet; • list all the pages that contain some or all of your phrase; • rank these matches so the best matches are first; • and do this in less than two seconds. Topics for Part II 1. The PageMatch Problem investigates how your browser takes your inter- net search string, passes it to a search engine which returns an answer incredibly fast. We will see that this process involves a number of hidden tricks and indexes. 2. The PageRank Problem considers how it is possible, once many matching web pages have been found, to select the very few that correspond most closely to your search string. Goals for this lecture 1. To realize that a search engine doesn't wait for your search string and then start checking one page after another on the web; 2. To realize that it's possible to create an index of the web, just like the index of a book; 3. To understand how Web crawling is done to create an index; 4. To recognize how information searches were done before the Internet. 5. To watch a video from a Google engineer explaining in general terms how Web searches work at Google. Reading Assignment Read Chapter 2, pages 10{23, \9 Algorithms that Changed the Future". What's the Internet? Once, computers were simply stand-alone devices.
