Keeping Ad Tracking and Dead URLs out of Yahoo! Search 1970-01-01 00:59:59 We’re often asked how Yahoo
! Search
determines which pages get indexed and which pages are left un-crawled. First and foremost, we honor the industry-standard robots.txt file format, which gives Webmasters several layers of control over which sites, pages and specific URLs should be indexed. Lately we’ve heard from a number of Webmasters asking how best to prevent ad tracking URLs and dead URLs from getting indexed, so we thought we’d respond via this post.Ad tracking URLsAd tracking URLs are used by Webmasters to help determine what traffic is coming in from advertisements (e.g., Yahoo! Sponsored Search and Yahoo! Publisher Network) but aren’t necessary to include in the Yahoo! Search index. Sometimes you might notice that these URLs still appear in the index. That’s because they’ve appeared on pages that are “crawlable” or may have been copied over to crawlable pages by users. If you don’t want Yahoo! Slurp, our Web crawler to index these URLs you can use wildcards Read more:Tracking
Google Earth 4 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Six months after it was first introduced as a beta product, GoogleEarth
4 is now out. Along with a new interface, we've added tons of multimedia content that's been created by online communities plus content from such established sources as Discovery Networks and National Geographic. Be it photo-sharing through Panaramio, hiking trails from Tracks4Africa, Wikipedia articles, or restaurant reviews from Yelp, you can explore all this information in Google Earth
's 3D view. And it now also includes the highest-quality textured 3D models of buildings from the 3D Warehouse as a layer ("Best of 3D Warehouse"). For example, check out Canary Wharf in London, landmarks in Manhattan, or the entire Denver downtown. http://earth.google.com/http://bollywoodjunction.blogspot.com/atom.xml
Inspect-our-Gadget – Yahoo! Search Gadget for Vista 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Hi, I’m Jonathan from the Yahoo
! Desktop Products team. The Yahoo! Search
team invited me to write about our latest collaboration, the Yahoo! Search gadget for the Windows Vista
Sidebar. My team’s mission is to enable users to access Yahoo! services from anywhere on their personal computer desktop. And while we have quite a few Yahoo! products already available for Windows Vista, today I wanted to focus on our first Vista-only product, the Yahoo! Search gadget.The Windows Vista Sidebar is a new feature in Vista that, similar to our own Yahoo! Widgets or Apple’s Dashboard, allows you to run mini applications (called gadgets) on your desktop that are connected to the Internet without having to open a browser. Since Yahoo! Search is one of our most popular services, it was a logical choice for our first ever Windows Vista Sidebar gadget. We designed the Yahoo! Search gadget to feel at home in Vista’s new visually rich environment with animations and four shiny colors to choose fro Read more:Inspect

Google Sharpens Malware Alerts for Webmasters 2007-03-01 10:12:00 Google Inc. has enhanced the way it notifies webmasters that their sites contain malware, improving on a service the Mountain View, California, company launched in November of last year in a partnership with The Stop Badware Coalition.Google has begun providing more detailed alerts and to send these notifications via e-mail to webmasters, according to a posting Monday on an official Google blog.Previously, Google only informed webmasters that their sites had been identified as having malware and made generic suggestions for fixing the problem. Now, the company also points webmasters to specific offending pages from their sites that Google has determined contain malicious components."This can be helpful when the malicious content is hard to find," the posting reads. "By providing example URLs, webmasters are one step closer to diagnosing the problem and ultimately re-securing their sites."Before, Google notified webmasters by placing a note in the site's summary page in Google's Webma Read more:Google

Google Adds Security to Hosted Applications 2007-03-01 10:11:00 Google's enterprise collaboration suite unveiled last week includes security options that let companies tie it into their existing corporate directories and extend single sign-on to the online provider's hosted applications .The result is that corporations can manage users of hosted applications just like they manage users behind the firewall .Google is teaming with Sxip to provide Sxip Access, an identity-management platform for managing authentication, authorization, single sign-on and provisioning/deprovisioning.Sxip Access, which is priced on a subscription basis, can be run itself as a hosted service or deployed within the corporate network and linked to corporate directories. The hosted version is US$5 per user, per year. The appliance is $5,000, which includes a pair of appliances, plus $5 per user, per year.Google Apps Premier is a suite that includes e-mail, document editor, spreadsheet and other collaboration tools.

Yahoo to Google: It's usability, stupid! 2007-02-28 17:54:00 Google may have an overwhelming market share in the online search market, the company has been famously incapable of making as much as a dent in areas such as web mail, or instant messaging.Yahoo
usability Yahoo's Jeff Bonforte today offered some free advice on what caused this failure: a complete lack of usability.Google is ruled by engineers, but they make for a lousy target audience because they will try any new application that has a blinking light and makes rattling sounds. The challenge is to get to the masses.In the video below Bonforte explains the challenges that Yahoo is facing, as well as Google's faillure in web usability.http://bollywoodjunction.blogspot.com/atom.xml Read more:Google
Yahoo Slams Google’s Usability 2007-02-28 17:51:00 I guess Yahoo
felt they needed to be in the news this week - no matter what the reason. It’s the only explanation I can think of for Yahoo’s Jeff Bonforte, senior director of real time communications, attacking Google
’s usability efforts. “[Google] definitely is lacking in usability,” Bonforte said in a meeting with reporters at Yahoo’s corporate headquarters. “They don’t have this intimate connection in usability with consumers that Yahoo has had for 10 years. When it comes to consumer applications, no-one is more successful than Yahoo hands down. And it happens over and over and over again. In every application, we are number one or two.”I can’t resist pointing out something interesting about Bonforte. Bonforte joined Yahoo 18 months ago and heads up the company’s messenger product…Online application providers should focus on limiting the number of features that they deliver, he argued. Where adding features will alienate users, the company found that Read more:Usability

Web-based RSS ReaderMarket
Recent discussions on changes in RSS subscriber reporting at FeedBurner as a result of Google’s starting to report Google Reader and Google Personalized Homepage subscribers have prompted Rick Klau at FeedBurner to post an analysis of how people are reading feeds and interacting with them.The FeedBurner analysis is based on 604,533 feeds managed by FeedBurner on behalf of 347,000 bloggers, podcasters and commercial publishers. FeedBurner notes that the service sees more than 3,000 feed reading clients on a regular basis. There is adequate data in a sample of this size to gauge the impact of the various aggregators whose subscriber data FeedBurner publishes.Because FeedBurner provides stats on item views and clicks, the service can provide a sense of audience engagement level based on the client used. Are users of one client reading the posts more than users with a different client? Are these users clicking back to the o Read more:Yahoo
Yahoo To Preview Messenger For Windows Vista 2007-03-02 16:08:00 Yahoo will give users a preview of what it will be like to use a new and improved version of Yahoo Messenger
on Microsoft's WindowsVista
at the 2007 International Consumer Electronics Show this year.Yahoo will show off an early version of Yahoo Messenger optimized for Vista, with new features that take advantage of some of the user interface enhancements Microsoft has added to the OS."It feels very much at home as though it's living and breathing in Windows Vista," said Joshua Jacobson, a Yahoo senior product manager, of the version of Messenger built for Vista. The company plans to release a beta of the application in the second quarter of 2007, and a final version should be available four to six weeks after that, pending feedback, he said.New FeaturesWindows Vista is already available for business users, and is expected to be available to consumers on Jan. 30.Yahoo used the new GUI (graphical user interface) development framework in Vista called Windows Presentation Foundation (WP Read more:Yahoo

is to publish them online, and the new Picasa Web Albums (from Google) and Yahoo Photos make that easier than ever. I liked aspects of both beta services, but I give Yahoo's service the early edge for its solid search features.In what Google describes as "pre-beta" form, Picasa Web Albums feels as polished as some of its longer-running rivals. Google ties the site to beta version 2.5 of its Picasa software. You edit and organize your photos in Picasa, and then click the Web Album button to post them online. Picasa's defaults make albums public--so anyone with an invitation can browse them--but switching albums to private viewing is easy. You can upload photos at their original resolution or let the service downsize them to save storage space. Google offers 250MB of space free; you can pay $25 per year for 6GB.Google's site layout is attractive and functional. You can switch freely among your entire collection, your public albums, and other people's b Read more:share photos

is known around the world. Less well-known is our Google Earth Enterprise which companies, organizations and government agencies use to view their global data and imagery.

So we had a little fun with a collaborative video depicting just that (well, not the submarines).Now it's time to let everyone in on the action.
