How to get Google Sitelinks for your website !

This is probably the question which haunted many of the webmasters of how to get those site links. :-

WDC site links

What exactly are they ? Do they serve any purpose ?

These collection of links actually are of some of the prominent pages of your website which do selected by google itself through its algorithm. Google mostly use them for brand names. Its basically collected from the website’s home page and shown below the website name in google’s search real estate.

The basic criteria for attaining sitelinks for your site is not achievable manually..still there is a certain criteria which one must follow to get qualified for them.

I did discussed it with many of the top minds in forums and most of them have the opinion that the website must have a stable ranking for certain top keywords and it must be over an year old. The number of searches for the said keywords and the surfers visit to your site through them too seems to have an influence.

Considering the democratic nature of the google achieving Site links doesn’t seems a that daunting task but the one keyword webmaster have to mind in SEO is ” patience”.

Stumble – give your site traffic a huge boost

Stumble upon is a social bookmarking site where users discover new sites , add review and share among them. Its a powerful medium to give your site traffic a big acceleration !

Stumble Upon

Just add 50 some friends and getting 50 -55 votes will enhance your traffic to some thousand plus visitors.

You just have to make an account and start stumbling your site , its internal pages and the outside pages related to it. Vote for your site and some of your pages and you will see immediately traffic coming in, thats the way stuble works for newcomers.

Adding few friends and make them stumble your site will increase your traffic to 100 unique per day that’s only for this sign up as i did.  Even if you have good content and  then it might go up to even over 1000 uniques a day.

Many of my friends sites as web design company etc  receiving over 2000 per day from it but i can use more as people were voting for their site and stubmle found out that it was good. Now im
Imagine what we can achieve if we vote for one anothers site!! It is indeed a powerful tool that, when used correctly, can get you over 3 digit visitors with  ease…

Will Microsoft buy Yahoo !!

So the news on the floor is Microsoft wants to buy Yahoo…if they do it will you keep coming to yahoo or move on to somewhere else !

See when I first discovered Yahoo it was no more than a list of interesting websites on a computer in the dorm room of some student at Stanford. In a way it was better then than now. The whole Internet was smaller and more friendly, and Yahoo didn’t have any ads on it.

Microsoft's Yahoo !

It seems that microsoft has a lot of money, their position in Internet is not strong, they have to do something in this growing field  Yahoo is worth around  $ 45 billion and Microsoft has a value of around $ 280 billion. So, if Microsoft really wanted they could buy Yahoo but they wouldnt as they have MSN which does the same thing as Yahoo.

Anycase whatever be the outcome but I think I will stick with Yahoo so long as it serves my needs.  But if Microsoft bought it to disassemble it, then I’ll move on. I know I’ll close my accounts and go to google.

New Google Analytics Tracker..Update it

So Google released a new version of its Google Analytics tracking code at the end of last year. The new Google Analytics tracker is a complete rewrite of JavaScript inherited from the Urchin acquisition in 2005 and the first time the two products have been officially decoupled. Well  the existing ( or better say previous ) version of Google Analytics tracker, urchin.js, has been deprecated but should continue to function until the end of 2008. Google will only roll out new features on the new ga.js tracker. The new tracking code makes advanced features a lot more accessible.

I know many of you who track website statistics using Google Analytics already updated it but the others should upgrade your templates to take its full advantage as the old tracker will be deprecated completedly within a year, and new features are only available to users running the new code.
