Google Apps Team Edition : For Free
Autor Internet Marketing & SEO | 08.02.2008 | Category Google
Google is releasing a new edition of its hosted applications suite that end-users can bring into the workplace without the involvement of their IT department.
It means that IT managers who fret about employees using unauthorized software at work will have another tool to worry about, especially in industries where information management is heavily regulated, like health care and finance.
The new release, called Google Apps Team Edition, is due to be available Thursday for free. It is aimed at employees who are interested in using Google Apps but whose employers haven’t signed up for it, said Rajen Sheth, Google Apps senior product manager.
Team Edition contains the core communication and collaboration services and applications from other editions, like the word processor, spreadsheet, Start page, Talk instant messaging and calendar, but not Gmail, which requires IT participation to re-route the company’s e-mail flow.
So far, more than 500,000 mostly small organizations have signed up for Google Apps, but the other versions Standard, Education, Partner and Premier require IT to implement the suite because its services are linked to an organization’s Internet domain.
China to Overcome USA in Internet usage

Chinese Internet Users Up to 210 Million
NEW YORK (AP) — The Chinese government said Friday its Internet population has soared to 210 million people, putting it on track to surpass the U.S. online community this year to become the world’s largest.
The official China Internet Network Information Center, also known as CNNIC, said the online population grew 53 percent, from 137 million reported at the same time last year. According to the government’s Xinhua News Agency, China is only 5 million behind the United States online, a figure consistent with some American estimates.
China still lags the United States in many respects, however.
Xinhua placed China’s online penetration rate at 16 percent — the point Americans were at in the mid-1990s. According to the Pew Internet and American Life Project, 75 percent of American adults are now online; penetration is even higher when teens are included. (China’s stats cover Chinese 6 and older.)
“We’re two countries at very different points along the adoption curve,” said John Horrigan, Pew’s associate director. “China is approximately 15 years behind.”
Several other differences between the two markets mean Internet penetration has different meaning in China and the United States.
First, cybercafes serve as the main entry to the Internet for many Chinese unable to afford a computer at home. One-third of Chinese Internet users surf through cybercafes, according to Xinhua, while Pew found that 93 percent of U.S. Internet users have access at home.
Also, China is notorious for censorship. Although the government promotes Internet use for education and business, it tries to block the public from seeing material it deems pornographic or critical of communist rule, including new rules promulgated this month covering online videos.
And China’s government imprisons people who mail, post online, or access politically sensitive content from within China. Reporters Without Borders says 50 Chinese “cyberdissidents” are currently in prison.
Nonetheless, China’s online growth is significant.
“Users do a lot to shape the Internet and not only by directly posting content but (by) their behavior,” Horrigan said. “It tells other people what the demand is. As you get more Chinese, that increases demand for Internet content in Mandarin and other Chinese languages.”
Horrigan also said many Chinese users are accessing the Internet through mobile devices, offering China “a distinct opportunity to shape the Internet” with usage everywhere.

Some Facts
China has about a 90% literacy rate.
Standard Chinese or Mandarin is the most prevalent but there are plenty of dialects.
SEO in China is at a fairly low standard. Competition is sparse so its a good time to get into the market.

AdSense referrals will be retired
Autor Internet Marketing & SEO | 08.01.2008 | Category Google Adsense & Adwords
Are you currently displaying a referral unit for AdSense on your website? Then read on, because there are some upcoming changes to the referral program that you should be aware of. But first let me clarify that only referral units promoting AdSense will be affected by this change; referrals to other products and services remain unaffected at this time. This change to referrals promoting AdSense will differ depending on your location, regardless of where your users are located.
- If you’re in North America, Latin America, or Japan, the pricing structure for AdSense referrals is changing.
About a year ago, as an experiment, we changed the pricing structure for AdSense referrals so that when a user you referred to the program earned $5 within 180 days of sign-up, you would also earn $5. When that publisher earned $100 within 180 days and removed all payment holds, you’d receive $250. We have decided to conclude this experiment and return to the original pricing structure. As a result, we’ll soon no longer be offering the $5 bonus or $2000 bonus, and the payout for referring a user who generates $100 with AdSense in the first 180 days will return to $100.
Facebook proves problematic for police

The two teenaged suspects cannot be named, but they have been identified online on the networking site
CASSANDRA DRUDI AND OMAR EL AKKAD
On the first day of this year, a 15-year-old Toronto girl was busy cleaning up her bedroom in preparation for her coming sweet 16 party, her lawyer says.
At the same time, police say, a 17-year-old male - who turns 18 today - was stabbing another teenage girl to death at the 15-year-old’s command. However, allegations that the girl is a manipulative killer are fiercely challenged by her lawyer, who says his client is anything but.
Stefanie Rengel, 14, is the city’s first homicide victim of 2008. According to a Crown synopsis, she died at the hands of the 17-year-old, who was driven to do it by the 15-year-old girl, who was fuelled by jealousy. Both teens now face first-degree murder charges in Stefanie’s death.
Friends and neighbours of both the victim and the two suspects said she and the 17-year-old had been in a relationship that ended, and that the two suspects later began dating. The girl’s lawyer says his client was not at the scene of the crime and should never have been charged with first-degree murder.
Wikipedia Founder Brings Search Project
Autor Internet Marketing & SEO | 06.01.2008 | Category Wikipedia
The founder of Wikipedia says taking the online encyclopedia’s collaborative approach into the field of search won’t dethrone Google Inc. or another major search engine — at least not soon.
After months of talk and a few weeks of invitation-only testing, Wikia Search is to open to the general public next week.
Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales says his goal is to let volunteers improve search technology collectively, the way Wikipedia lets anyone add or change entries, regardless of expertise.
“That reduces the sort of bottleneck of two or three firms really controlling the flow of search traffic,” said Wales, chairman of Wikia Inc., the for-profit venture behind the search project.
Engineers at Google and other search companies continually tweak their complex software algorithms to improve results and fight spammers — those who try to artificially boost the rankings of their own sites. Search companies have not disclosed many details to avoid tipping off competitors and spammers.
Wales’ approach would open that process. Initially, participants will help make such decisions as whether a site on “Paris Hilton” refers to the celebrity or a French hotel.
Danny Sullivan, editor in chief of the industry Web site Search Engine Land, has his doubts. Finding all the Web sites to index and staying ahead of spammers are huge undertakings, Sullivan said.
“I think he doesn’t really understand the scale of what Google has to handle in terms of the queries from around the world and the amount of traffic that flows to it and the attempts that are made to try to manipulate it,” Sullivan said.
Wales said the project would launch with about 50 million to 100 million Web pages indexed, a fraction of the billions available with major search engines.
Even as Wales tries to challenge search, Google has announced a project that could challenge Wikipedia. Google’s version, called knol, will differ from Wikipedia by identifying who wrote each article and giving authors a chance to share in Google’s advertising revenue.
On the Net:
Gates To Kick Off CES, And Big Push By Microsoft
Autor Internet Marketing & SEO | 05.01.2008 | Category Microsoft & MSN
Linux, Yahoo, AOL, and other companies and technologies will compete for attention at the annual display of consumer electronics.
When Bill Gates takes the stage this weekend at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, it will be one of his last big appearances as chairman ofMicrosoft (NSDQ: MSFT). His presence as the opening keynote speaker makes clear that the consumer electronics industry, once focused on the latest gadgets and gizmos, increasingly relies on software.
Gates’ keynotes is likely to set the tone for the entire show, and judging by the volume of expected announcements next week, it’s likely that mobility will be a major topic of conversation. Microsoft’s Windows Mobile, Smart Personal Objects Technology, and automotive business units also will be at the show. Windows Mobile 6.1 is expected to be released sometime early this year.
Meanwhile, some companies are using Microsoft software to power their own software and hardware, like Ricavision, which is coupling Bluetooth with Windows Vista's SideShow capability to display e-mail notifications and other information on a remote control.
As usual, Microsoft will have a strong presence at CES. The company unveiled Windows Home Server at last year's CES, and that team is back again this year after the product's release last summer. Microsoft's also bringing along teams representing Xbox, Windows Live, its Surface multi-touch computing group, Windows Vista, the Silverlight browser plug-in, automotive technology like Ford's new Sync software, and a Smart Personal Objects Technology group that includes things like Microsoft-powered watch software.
Microsoft will have competition from Linux at this year's CES as well. OpenMoko is showing its Linux-based smart phone, while a start-up that's already gotten its software packaged into cheap PCs at Wal-Mart will be releasing the latest version of its operating system at CES. Good OS' Ubuntu-based Rocket makes heavy use of built-in links to Web apps to bolster its functionality.
The Web won't be left out either. Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) will be at CES in full force, including a keynote by CEO Jerry Yang and "several announcements centering on the company's mobile strategy."Google (NSDQ: GOOG) is nowhere to be seen, but several companies have built Google software and services into their systems, including Thompson's new GE-branded DECT 6.0 phones, which have a built-in "auto-dial GOOG-411 button" for free directory assistance. AOL will be there as well, continuing its reinvention into a portal player.
A British start-up named Invu will be exhibiting an interesting take on Web search at CES with .NET-based downloadable search software called Ergo. The software does desktop or Web searches and then clusters results. For example, a search on "baseball" might bring back clusters labeled "baseball players" and "baseball cards," among others. Ergo aggregates results from several different search engines and has a social aspect to it: users can annotate and share search results with one another.
RealNetworks will also be announcing new technology at the show. The multimedia software maker is participating in CES Unveiled, the pre-CES press preview, on Saturday. Last year, the company announced a series of partnerships with companies like Tivo. Other multimedia software companies in attendance include Cyberlink Corp., ArcSoft, Nero, and Corel, all of which are showcasing their latest wares.
Gaming software will also have a showing, though CES isn't known as a mecca for gamers. LucasArts will unveil new games, and Microsoft and Sony may have something up their own sleeves. Sony has already announced on its CES Web site that the voice-over IP service Skype will soon be available on Sony's PlayStation Portable gaming system.
The real software story this year, at least in preview, should be Microsoft. The company's massive presence plus a valedictory address from its chairman shows an intention to put on a full court press with its consumer-facing applications at the show.

Webmaster Tools Adds Content Analysis
Autor Internet Marketing & SEO | 17.12.2007 | Category Google, Search Industry
Detailed info on Title and Meta Description issues, Cool new feature in Webmaster Tools - you can go into Diagnostics and Content Analysis, and it will now tell you if you have issues with duplicate titles or meta descriptions, or non-indexable content.
The Content analysis summary page within the Diagnostics section of Webmaster Tools features three main categories. Click on a particular issue type for more details:
* Title tag issues
* Meta description issues
* Non-indexable content issuesSelecting “Duplicate title tags” displays a list of repeated page titles along with a count of how many pages contain that title. We currently present up to thirty duplicated page titles on the details page. If the duplicate title issues shown are corrected, we’ll update the list to reflect any other pages that share duplicate titles the next time your website is crawled.
Also, in the Title tag issues category, we show “Long title tags” and “Short title tags.” For these issue types we will identify title tags that are way too short (for example “IT” isn’t generally a good title tag) or way too long (title tag was never intended to mean
). A similar algorithm identifies potentially problematic meta description tags. While these pointers won’t directly help you rank better (i.e. pages with length x aren’t moved to the top of the search results), they may help your site display better titles and snippets in search results, and this can increase visitor traffic.</p> <p>In the “Non-indexable content issues,” we give you a heads-up of areas that aren’t as friendly to our more text-based crawler. And be sure to check out our posts on Flash and images to learn how to make these items more search-engine friendly. </p></blockquote> <p><a href="http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2007/12/new-content-analysis-and-sitemap.html">Google Webmaster Central</a></p> </div> <div> <div class="alignleft"><a href="http://imseo.org/page/3/">« next</a></div> <div class="alignright"><a href="http://imseo.org/">previous »</a></div> </div> </div> <div id="right"> <div class="boxtop"></div> <div class="box"> <h2>Categories</h2> <ul class="contentright"> <li class="cat-item cat-item-28"><a href="http://imseo.org/category/apple/" title="View all posts filed under Apple">Apple</a> (1) </li> <li class="cat-item cat-item-21"><a href="http://imseo.org/category/blogging/" title="View all posts filed under Blogging">Blogging</a> (7) </li> <li class="cat-item cat-item-9"><a href="http://imseo.org/category/contextual-advertising/" title="View all posts filed under Contextual Advertising">Contextual Advertising</a> (37) <ul class='children'> <li class="cat-item cat-item-10"><a href="http://imseo.org/category/contextual-advertising/google-adsense-adwords/" title="View all posts filed under Google Adsense & Adwords">Google Adsense & Adwords</a> (26) </li> <li class="cat-item cat-item-12"><a href="http://imseo.org/category/contextual-advertising/msn-adcenter/" title="View all posts filed under MSN adCenter">MSN adCenter</a> (8) </li> <li class="cat-item cat-item-11"><a href="http://imseo.org/category/contextual-advertising/yahoo-publisher-network/" title="View all posts filed under Yahoo!
