Google engineers provide a great deal of insight into the way Google ranks pages and how a site may use this information for Search Engine Optimization

(PRWEB) May 19, 2005 -- Google originally filed for a patent for their search engine strategies in December of 2003. It was made public last month and provides important insights into how a company might look at search engine optimization work on their site to better their rankings.

The patent in short looks at the mostly relevant factors in their algorithm are:
The age of the page and the age of the domain in relationhip to how quickly links come and go on to the site. Links will also be weighed by how quickly they are added or subtracted on a site. So called "link farming" will certainly earn a page or a site a lower ranking.

Your Google ranking in the past will have some impact on you ranking in the present. Though, the rank you see in your google toolbar is not the internal rank held by the Google spiders.

It also appear that links from important or trusted advertisers will score a site higher. This may give rise to charges of nepotism on the part of Google. One question raied for discussion by all of this is whether or not participation in the Google Adwords program will
score higher than an ad on a high traffic site.

There is still some degree of mystery as to how you can achieve a higher rank but, it is certainly made a lot clearer after reading the Google patent application.

BOCA RATON, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 05/18/2005 -- The law firm of Vianale & Vianale LLP commenced a securities fraud class action lawsuit on May 17, 2005, in Ft. Myers, Florida federal court on behalf of purchasers of the securities of FindWhat.com (NASDAQ: FWHT) between January 5, 2004 and May 4, 2005, inclusive. View the complaint on Vianale & Vianale's website: http://www.vianalelaw.com, or call toll-free 888-657-9960.

The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, FindWhat.com and certain of its officers and directors violated federal securities laws. Specifically, with the completion of the first in a series of acquisitions by FindWhat.com, the Company began to accrue intangible assets exceeding their actual value. FindWhat.com disagreed with its auditor, Ernst & Young LLP, about the need to recognize an impairment of its goodwill in connection with FindWhat.com's 2004 financial statements. As a result of the dispute, on May 2, 2005, Ernst & Young LLP resigned and informed FindWhat.com of the following material weaknesses in its system of internal controls over financial reporting: (i) purchase accounting, (ii) goodwill impairment, (iii) revenue recognition for private label agreements and other revenue agreements, excluding those related to FindWhat.com Network revenue, (iv) personnel resources and technical accounting expertise, (v) quarterly and year-end financial statement close and review process, and (vi) segregation of duties. On May 4, 2005, FindWhat.com announced the resignation of its CFO, Defendant Brenda Agius. While FindWhat.com's stock was artificially inflated, insiders sold 680,959 shares for proceeds of $11,320,179. On May 3, FindWhat.com stock plummeted $2.04 per share, or 26%, and an additional $2.33, or 38% on May 5, 2005.

If you bought FindWhat.com securities between January 5, 2004 and May 4, 2005, you may, no later than July 5, 2005 move the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff, a representative party who acts on behalf of the other class members in directing the litigation. The Court will determine whether the proposed lead plaintiff's claim is typical, and whether the class member will adequately represent the class. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by whether or not you serve as a lead plaintiff. You may retain Vianale & Vianale LLP, or other counsel of your choice.

Vianale & Vianale LLP is active in major class action litigations pending in federal and state courts. Visit our web site (http://www.vianalelaw.com) for more information about the firm.

New York, NY (PRWEB) May 19, 2005 -- Instead of giving your potential customers a choice between yes and no, have your website give a choice between yes and yes - and your sales will soar.

Bryan and Jeffrey Eisenberg's new book, "Call to Action," which is romping up the bestsellers lists, says that websites have a unique ability to frame a yes, yes choice, and that doing so can have surprising results.

"By trial and error," says Bryan Eisenberg, "we found that our clients’ sales dramatically improved when we disposed of a "no" option on a page. Replacing that choice with another "yes" option almost always improves conversion rates."

What's even more exciting, according to the Eisenberg's, is the fact that given the choice between two yes options, customers in many situations choose the higher priced option.

The fact is," says Jeffrey Eisenberg. "your customers very often knows exactly what they're looking for. They’re looking for value for themselves, and that is very often in a higher-priced, yes option."

But according to the Eisenberg's, too much choice can be a bad thing, and too many "yes" options can run your customers screaming from your site.

"A yes-yes-yes option is probably one yes too many," says Bryan Eisenberg. "Remember, a choice connotes two things, and more options than that can be confusing and counterproductive."

Bryan Eisenberg and Jeffrey Eisenberg are co-founders of Future Now, Inc., a marketing boutique focused on helping clients convert their website's traffic into leads, customers and sales by applying Persuasion Architecture, copywriting, usability and web analytics to design, redesign and optimize websites and other online marketing efforts. Future Now, Inc. has helped clients such as Dell, GE Volvo, Overstock & Disney.

Encinitas, CA (PRWEB) May 19, 2005 -- A new extension for Macromedia Dreamweaver from WebAssist, [http://lagoon/Products/ProductDetails.asp?PID=72&RID=377&PRID=DB_Search WA Database Search, makes it possible for designers to incorporate sophisticated database searches in their websites. WA Database Search is an evolutionary product built on a previous product released by WebAssist, WA QueryBuilder. WA Database Search adds a sophisticated wizard for implementing multiple search types, an easier-to-use advanced server behavior mode, and enhanced documentation.

WA Database Search is intended to solve one of the primary challenges of managing a database-driven site: how do you help visitors find what they’re looking for? Simple text field searches are inadequate when Web browsers want to look for products in a specific price range or released in a certain time frame. The SQL database code needed to combine multiple search criteria is extremely advanced and often beyond the abilities of working Web designers. WA Database Search provides the most commonly required search types, such as date range, price range and advanced text search, in an easy-to-use wizard interface. The Database Search wizard creates both the complex SQL code required for the search as well as inserting the necessary form elements on a separate page.

“Online store developers are going to flip for WA Database Search,” said Michael Lekse, Director of Worldwide Sales for WebAssist. “For the first time, any designer who can point and click a mouse can combine any number of different search types in a single interface – and not touch a line of code.” Lekse went on to explain that WA Database Search has special use for both designers and developers within the Dreamweaver community. “Not only does it extend the capabilities of people who do not traditionally consider themselves developers, it also gives coders the ability to efficiently add search capabilities using a re-entrant advanced module to reduce deployment time and increase consistency.”

WA Database Search is available directly from WebAssist for $149.99. Owners of WA QueryBuilder, WA eCommerce Suite or WA Dynamic Site 101 can upgrade to WA Database Search for $49.99. For volume sales or more information call WebAssist +1 (760) 633-4013, extension 2.

A new system has been discovered that increases Search Engine Rankings for struggling (and successful) websites.

(PRWEB) May 20, 2005 -- A new system has been discovered that increases Search Engine Rankings for struggling (and successful) websites.

The system seems to be having quite some success with users claiming to have top rankings in major search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN after only 3 days.

Other search engine rankings have also seen major increases in Ranking for previously unknown websites.

As well as the major players, Alta Vista, Excite and Dogpile are ranking websites that are using this system very highly indeed.

“Our business’s website went from being totally unknown in my specialized area, to being number one in Alta Vista for just about all my keywords…it was amazing” says one user.

http://www.getyoursiteongoogle.info

Users have said that they are very impressed with the personal service offered by Costa Dedes, - the owner and developer of the programme.

The site is an excellent source of Google information. Costa Dedes is a well known internet marketer and is willing to offer anyone looking for help free support. He can help you get your site ranked.

“His personal touch in being available for support questions, and extended advice are outstanding, and I didn’t have to pay any extra for this service…it was all included. He has repeatedly responded to my chat requests over Yahoo! Messenger…and I hear he also has AOL messenger…so if you need help with implementing the system he is there – and that is a major reassurance for his members” says another customer.

Although search engines are a mystery at times, the overall result has been very exciting and a major breakthrough in the Website ranking war!

And what is the most fascinating, is that in an internet world of scams and hype, this actually seems to be working.
