Are you being copied? 2007-03-14 07:56:00 After several complaints from my visitors, I decided to write an article to resolve this problem. First of all, go to http://copyscpe.com/ , and then enter your URL. If you found a web-page having absolutely same article like of yours, note the website’s URL .Please not note the feed address of your URL only! Now we have come to know that the webmaster of that site is a cheat. Now visit the website, look for the about us/contact us section. Get the e-mail address of the webmaster, and send him a mail regarding your problem. You can ask him to remove your article or place a link to the original article of your website. If the webmaster refuses or doesn’t reply then you will have to work harder. If you can find the web portal at which the website is being hosted then its great! Next step should be to draft a mail to the webmaster of the web-portal regarding your complaint. You can use the date of your article as an evidence .If still nothing happens ,then draft a mail to Google &

Role of Language tools in your website 2007-02-28 14:42:00 Language translation tools can also contribute to the popularity of your website

Search Engine Optimization 2007-02-24 10:42:00 good looking and user friendly website is an extremely important asset to your success on the Internet. However without traffic, even a well designed site will not produce results for you. The best websites are those that are both attractive and easy to use by your human users, and at the same time, convenient for the search engine robots that are trying to find and collect data from your site.Oftentimes a site that may look good to your eye has some design flaws that impair its search engine friendliness. Here are a few things to look for when designing new sites or optimizing an existing site.1. Where does your first line of text begin? You may think, “that’s easy, the first line of text is right at the top?” If you view your web page using Notepad or the html view of popular editors you may be surprised to find that the first line of your actual searchable text may be pushed down, 100 lines or more, by long strings of java script and by the html code that defines your tables.T Read more:Search

These tips may also be useful for a newbie in the world of bloggingHow to choose site’s url and title ?Well you need to be careful while doing this. Some complaints have also come that Google Adsense is suspending the websites/blogs that have the term “google” in their URL.

Lets take an example that you need a blog on technology news, here is how to choose it. We will cut short technology into tech. Now we have the first part. Another key thing about search engines is that they take “-“(hyphen) as a space between words. So I tried to test it. I started two blogs ashwinikhare.blogpsot.com and ashwini-khare.blogpsot.com.
