A favicon, acronym of favorites icon, also known as a website icon, page icon or url icon. This small icon is associated with a particular website or web page and represent it.

The standard size of favicon is 16 x 16. To display a favicon you need to add a rel attribute in the head section of website and it usually place in the root directory. In Internet Explorer 7+, Mozilla Firefox, Opera and Safari favicons are displayed in all available tabs

Ok Enough.

Its not long ago that Google change its main Favicon. The old Favicon is a Capital G in a box, but the new one is small purple g.

So I decide to collect all the FAVICONS of the services or websites that are owned by Google. I am not sure that I got all of them but these are the maximum I can find. And Yup I do found some interesting stuff too. :)

Google Suggestion Gone Wild!

Here are some coolest suggestion given by Google to there user. Enjoy!

http://seoz87.googlepages.com/googlesuggestion.png

Google Page Rank

1 comments

Google Page Rank..the green bar on Google tool bar ranking the web page by giving it points from 10. Ever wonder what is its purpose? Why it is so important(IT IS IMPORTANT)? Why one want 10 out of 10 (OK its a real tough task nearly impossible) or want an increase in it? These and many more questions about Page Rank are constantly raised by many peoples and SEO’s too. Here is a “summary”(not the same article) of most comprehensive study originally done by smashing magazines about Google Page Rank. The most kool thing about this article are the tools that provided with the article about Page Rank. Read it and see that what you know about Page Rank till now is rite or…?

What is PageRank?
It is one of the factors that Google Use for measuring importance of a page. Moreover it has nothing to do with page quality or topic relevancy. Its only measure the importance of a page by counting how many links that page got.


“Google uses many factors in ranking. Of these, the PageRank algorithm might be the best known. PageRank evaluates two things: how many links there are to a web page from other pages, and the quality of the linking sites. With PageRank, five or six high-quality links from websites such as www.cnn.com and www.nytimes.com would be valued much more highly than twice as many links from less reputable or established sites.”
By Google Librarian Central

How Does PageRank work?
Ok this thing is still under study (obviously by SEO’s) How that things work. An equation is derived to calculate how it works or how it ranks a page. Here it is

PR(A) = (1-d) + d(PR(t1)/C(t1) + … + PR(tn)/C(tn)).

That’s the equation that calculates a page’s PageRank. In the equation ‘t1 - tn’ are pages linking to page A, ‘C’ is the number of outbound links that a page has and ‘d’ is a damping factor, usually set to 0.85.

One thing is also said that If a page got PR 10 and it got only one link on it than this link will get the wholw link juice and get a fair amount of PR too. So having a link on a page with greater Pr is important but number of links on that page is also important.

Since Google Page Rank is logarithmic in its calculation so each Page Rank level is progressively harder to reach. If it takes 10 steps to reach for PR1 than it will take 25 steps to reach for PR 2. Page rank update after every 3 or 4 months. Here is another interesting thing about Page rank is..

“PageRank is based on incoming links, but not just on the number of them. Instead PageRank is based on the value of your incoming links. To find the value of an incoming link look at the PR of the source page, and divide it by the number of links on that page. It’s very possible to get a PR of 6 or 7 from only a handful of incoming links if your links are “weighty” enough”

FACTORS EFFECTING AND NOT-EFFECTING PAGE RANK

  • Inbound Link
  • Adding Pages Decrease Page Rank
  • Decrease in Page Rank of Pages that have link of your website
  • Links from and to high quality related sites
  • Content updates don’t improve PR
  • Content is not taken into account when PageRank is calculated
  • Page Rank doesn’t consider site age, backlink relevancy and backlink duration.
  • Wikipedia Links don’t improve Page Rank after they implemented NO FOLLOW TAG .
  • Listing in DMOZ and Yahoo! doesn’t give your site a special PR Bonus
  • .edu and .gov-sites still contraversal
  • Links marked with nofollow-attribute don’t contribute to Google PageRank.
  • Links from one page to itself don’t improve Page Rank
  • Bad incoming links don’t have impact on Page Rank
  • Dangling links(links that point to any page with no outgoing links) don’t have impact on Page Rank.
  • Efficient internal linking
  • Anchor text
  • Links from top ranked pages in Google

The Myth Of NoFollow Tag

0 comments

Nofollow tag is an automated tag on every blog now and almost on all sites too that accepts user suggestion as comments or via guest book. So what is this tag and what's its purpose?

According To Wikipedia (Yeah wikipedia knows SEO too)

"nofollow is a non-standard HTML attribute value used to instruct search engines that a hyperlink should not influence the link target's ranking in the search engine's index."

According To Google

"When Google sees the attribute (rel="nofollow") on hyperlinks, those links won't get any credit when we rank websites in our search results."

nofollow tag look like this

rel=nofollow

Many webmaster and SEO's believe the wikipedia and Google definition for nofollow tag that is nofollow tag effects a site ranking in Google Search Results. In many seo and webmaster forums we have seen a lot of debate on this issue, which always result in two conclusion. One is of course according to google point of view, that nofollow effect ranking position. But there is also some SEO who believe in somethin else. According to them NOFOLLOW only effects pagerank of a webpage and not ranking.

According to those SEO's

"The new nofollow link tag is supposed to provide webmasters with the opportunity to add a link to their website without leaking PageRank to the page they are linking to."

According to PageRank Theory

All links on a page which have some page rank got equally divided part of that pagerank to them too. This phenomena also known as Page Rank Dilution.

Here is a complete info about Page Rank: Google Page Rank

For example If a page has 4 page rank. And it contains 10 links on it of other websites than these 10 links get equally divide Page Rank Love from that page. This will increase the page rank points of those 10 pages, have their links on that page.

So what is the reality? Which theory is true and which one is false?

And yes! you may not believe it but 2nd theory is true.

It has been experimented by ME (OK I am not giving you any single detail of those experiments for the obvious reason, but sharing with you the proven result. So still I am good) and many other SEO'z too that link with nofollow tag doesn't affect a web page ranking. In fact it may count as a normal link and play its role in enhancing your ranking as number of links increases.

And since nobody caring a damn about Page Rank now days except Google itself, so these nofollow tags are pretty USELESS. For prove, you can analyze backlinks of some sites on 1st page of google and amazed to find that many of them have their links from blogs using nofollow tag. May be you can't see them for highly targeted keywords but remember Google is sorting out result manually for those keywords. Giving you a little common sense hint that if a page has 5 page rank with 100 links pointing to it from other blogs and you have a nofollow link of your website on that page, what do you think your link worth? Or lets have a fun experiment...Find an .edu blog and comment on some post of it. In NAME section put your keyword or simply put your web page url in comment. Since all blogs have nofollow tags installed automatically, so your this link is a nofollow link. After some days you can see this link as your edu backlink and an increase in your website authority.

So I am not advising you to do spam blogs via comments, but to acknowledge you that nofollow tag is only a myth and it doesn't negatively effect your ranking or its only a myth that a link with nofollow tag have no benefit.

So! Happy commenting.

SEO Myths And Wrong Concepts - Revised

0 comments

Its a routine for us, seoz, that someone presents a theory that opposes the prior concepts of Search Engine Optimization and then a long debate start about that theory. And to be honest we do find some very useful info from these debates. But since every thing has a negative aspect too, many wrong concepts too become popular and get promoted by these speeches.

Its a fact that not each strategy is gonna work for everybody. So there may be arguments over it, but in general I found that these concepts are nothing but wrong. Working since 2005 in Internet marketing field, I have worked in different niches and when come to these points I can safely say that they are not as they are told.

1. NoFollow Doesn't Help You In Ranking
It Does dudes, Believe me it does...I have experimented it long time ago and now many Seoz are saying the same thing. For your convenience, here is a food for thought.

A nofollow link from 5 pagerank page which have .edu tld :)
what you say? isn't it gonna help you in ranking?

2. Internal Linking Is Your Navigational Structure
No not at all.

Your navigational structure or menu isn't enough for Strong Internal Linking. Making internal linking strong is something else. Its a link from within the content of one page of your website to the other page of your website.

3. You have to wait for at least 6 months for Good RANKING
Yes I mean ranking. Its really not necessary that you have to wait for 6 months to get good ranking in search engines. And even if your domain is new :)
I have done it and I am doing it.

4. Pagerank Is Not A Major Factor When You Go Out For Link Hunting
It is. Yes I know that many seoz including me not recommended it all the time but in general it do play an important role in your website ranking. Do the experiments and you will see how right this statement is :)

5. A Relevant Link Is ALWAYS From A Relevant Site
Not Always. A strong relevant link is within the relevant content pointing to a relevant site. Its not necessary that the topic of the site on which content is and the topic of the site to which link is pointing should be same.

6. Google Is Human
Its not. It don't give a shit bout your website value when ranking it unless you want to rank your website on 1st slot within a week on really competitive keywords or niche. Don,t believe me?
Check the results for the term mesothelioma in Google ;)

7. Old SEO TRICKS Don't Work Anymore
They do! In real they do. I have read an article some time ago that traditional ways of Search Engine Optimization (Off Page) like directory, forum, article submissions etc don't work anymore now. For your information sir, they do..

8. Social Media Sites Will Replace Search Engines
Its not possible for a tleast 5 years. Why?
How you gonna find social community of your interest ;)

9. SEO Is DEAD..SEO'z Future is not Bright

TALK TO HAND DUDE
:P

10. Content is King..
the most controversial, the most debatable

But Yes, it can be wrong.
You are thinking I am crack. Don't ya?

Well I know no one gonna believe it. And anyone can safely say that its content that make or break a site but If you want only ranking(you plan to sell the site afterwards or place links) than focus on links cause Links still play more major role in ranking than content of the site. I know that its your content that attracts links but if you have a database of some thousand pages indexed in Google and you have a little evil mind you can get on top ranking with content from nonsense generator ;). Google algo is based on Links and it remains same unless they introduce a voting system and in other words make the Google.. Social. :)

And
11. Google is not collecting your personnel info :P

It is. so cheer up

and yes the word Black Hat still makes me excited.

Note : Its my opinions and I am not saying that they are the last words. DO EXPERIMENTS and I am really grateful to you if you care to share those with us here.

Google Backlink Query.. With Space Without Space ?

1 comments

So we are (Ok ME) still having problems with info that Google is showing us about our sites.

At Google Cheat Sheet or Google Advance Operators page, Google tells us a way to check links, a website have or more commonly known as back links. According to it you can check your website / web blog back links (ok a chunk of your website back links) by typing in the following query in Google.

link:www.domain.com

but if you search
link: www.domain.com
(Note: there is a space between : and url)

You will get an entirely different number of links.

Here is the images. You can see the visible different number of links.

WITH SPACE: | WITHOUT SPACE:
Click Here For Image | Click Here For Image


Those two queries shows a different number of same thing i.e. back links. Moreover if you are sign in with your Google account its shows you different number of links compare to when you search without signing in with your account.

So what is the reason behind it? Anyone knows?

Google Video Ads Are Up!

SEOAt last Google starts testing its video ads service in search results. Reported by SearchEngineLand and on different sources including New York times, Google has started testing his video ad service in its search results from this Thursday.

The service has been testing on very limited basis, thats why very few people evidence it. However Searchengineland captured an image shot of video ad some while ago; so here you can see how that video ad looks



As per NewYork Times,

"At first, users will barely notice the change because the videos will not be immediately obvious. Ads with accompanying videos will have a small button with a plus sign. Google has increasingly used the plus icon to indicate that certain information — like a map — can pop up on a search results page. Users that click the plus button on an ad will see a small video player that shows a commercial, movie trailer or other clip."

Here are some links that has some info regarding Google Video Ads.
