Google personalized Search Results makes life easy for Searchers

Recently Google introduced new feature for search engine users. Google now providing personalized search results for everyone who uses Google search engine, without considering they have opted for it or not in the previously available personalized feature. Searchers now have now the options to select or completely opt-out to get personalized search results. Google designed various protections to safeguard searchers privacy. It will raise some concerns when users opt-in instead of opt-out this feature. Below is the deeper look on the new feature.

How it works?

Google keeps the track of what you are watching from search results and favor that particular sites in future search results. For example, if someone often searches and click on the links of specific website from Google’s results, over time, Google thinks that you really like that specific site. From this Google give that specific site a ranking boost, means you will get more listings from that website, perhaps for the searches where it wasn’t shown before.

Each individual have their own custom tailor-made results. It means by each individual like different website as per their individual preference, Google thinks that the person likes that particular website and start showing more of the website listings.

In most of the cases searchers clicks on variety of websites from search results in such case Google will not show favorite website but it will show everything. Google still considers other ranking factors. Personalization feature does not help you the best way in cases like if you are searching for certain keyword and its not there in your favorite site. But in some other case personalization may help to put the website on the first page of results. Also, personalization may position various websites into top results for various search queries.

Privacy Issues

Google have to record what you are searching to give personalize results – that raises the concern of individual’s privacy. Users are more concerned about can people able to see what you have looked for? How long the information kept? Can user turn it off?

The answers for above questions are yes you can turn it off. The history is kept for 6 months (180 days). History can’t be viewed whether you have deleted history or not at anytime.

There are two type of personalized search or “Web History” – official Google name – available. Its Signed-In and Signed-Out Web History.

In Signed-Out Web History, Google learns if someone used a particular browser and seen it in past. Behind the curtains, Google tracks all the searches done by that browser and also records all the information that have been clicked on Google search results, when used that browser. You can able to see the customized search results but not able to see that information at anywhere. Google not record your name it only remembers the information for 180 days, older than this all information is forgotten. You may not able to see past history if you use different browser as the history is not recorded by Google for this particular browser.

In Signed-In Web History, Google learns that Google is used by particular Google user. Behind the curtains, Google keep the record of what you click on in search results and pages you visit, if Google Toolbar tracking feature is specifically enabled. Google records all the activity of the user has done during Signed-In without knowing what computer or browser they have used. User can able to see the records of all pages they viewed more frequently at any point of time and selectively delete the record. If user wants, they can able to delete everything. Google keeps forever, or until user deletes it.

Can anyone see the History?

Google understand the importance aspect of privacy for searchers and that’s why if someone uses signed-out version of web-history, no one can see what has been searched or clicked on in the past.

Google gives the searchers more controls in depth compare to last year. Google now notifies searchers if changes done in search terms, clicking on the notification it shows previous query. It may worsen if you leave you computer and someone sit on your PC is able to see it. To stop it happening, Google made the information available for last 30 minutes. Actually, Google stores the information much more than the last half hour of previous history though it is not being shown.

Things to keep in mind

If you don’t want to your searches get recorded even not logged in, you have to keep few things in mind:

· Google use the recorded data to refine your search results unlike to use it to show ads which other major search engines do.

· The search records are stored in browser itself. Most of the time people fails to clear browser histories.

· You are not bound to use it.

You have the choice to opt-out as per your personalization purposes. If you change your mind anytime you can change the settings.

Google values diversity and gives the search results accordingly. Google considers variety of sources and options for search results. Google like to provide personalized feature to help its user to give user friendly experience but it doesn’t mean rest of the web is unavailable for them.

Worst mistakes committed by Microsoft

We are learned from childhood stories that nothing will stay perfect for longer period of time whether it is person or a company, everything or everyone is bound to commit small mistakes. That doesn’t mean mistakes are committed with absence of mind but we get to know it after committing it and also from this experience plan for future to not repeat the mistakes for the same. We have seen the human nature is bound to do mistakes and learn from there. We think machines or software’s are made not to make mistakes and are perfect that’s true in one sense and wrong in other sense, as software’s and machines are made by human themselves so they try to make the software which perfectly fits in human needs but sometimes they are not able to find small mistakes. Recently we have seen that even cooperates and governments have committed some mistakes and bring the world at chaos.

We here like to discuss the mistakes committed by Microsoft, biggest software maker in the world. Today, Almost 89% desktop users use Microsoft Windows for their computer operating system. It too has some complications.

Sherweb website recently found worst mistakes committed by Microsoft and we have listed the same here:

1. Internet Explorer 6

Sherweb considered IE (Internet Explorer) in the Microsoft’s mistakes. IE6 is the worst in user experience and worst ever browser in browser history. PC World, popular PC magazine, rated IE6 worst tech products of all time and put it on 8th position in May 2006 edition. IE 6 is vulnerable to malwares, viruses and other malicious attacks. It is unstable and someone can easily breach the security.

Web developers find IE 6 most difficult browser for its compatibility issues as it is not supporting CSS version 2.

Most analysts have stopped using IE 6. It’s hard to believe that IE 6 is still leading used browser by internet users. According to recent reports IE 6 is taking 27% of market-share ahead of IE7 and Firefox.


2. Windows Vista

Microsoft released Windows Vista in January 2007 with bandwagon with thinking they have made one of the best OS they have made so far. Vista is made with objective of highest security level and has to be tough to hack compare to its predecessors. Most of the analysts didn’t agree with it and they found that the security features are not better than older versions of Windows.

It has been also founded that Vista running slower on PCs compare to XP. Vista is slower in basic file operations like deleting or unzipping a file, also many other applications founded running slower.

As a result Vista failed to get popularity in the market. One of the recent research showing more than 85% corporate PC’s prefer Windows XP.


3. MS-DOS 4.0

MS-DOS 4.0 (Microsoft Disk Operating System) is another mistake committed by Microsoft. MS-DOS 4.0 was launched in late 80’s and improved some of the features from DOS 3.3. It had been reported with serious bugs such as data loss, corruption and serious flaw in RAM disk.

4. Windows 2000

Windows 2000 was released in 2000 and disappointed many on level of security. It was the last NT-based Windows release and include many of the new features of Windows 98 and Windows 98 SE into the NT, but criticised for its security level issues.

There had been various worms and virus attacks reported in year 2003 and. It infected major number of Microsoft Windows PCs and to clean-up it, the company bared huge cost. In 2005, most of PCs of Homeland Security and American News channels security breach reported.

5. Failed to understand Linux strength

Microsoft is considered as giant desktop software maker in the world with more than 85% market-share. But on another hand Linux is leader in making of super computers.

Linux manufactured more than 85% of the world's most powerful supercomputers, compared to Windows’ 1% according to recent reports. Also, Linux is considered most powerful and reliable internet hosting company over Windows’.

Linux gives user different freedoms such as to run it conveniently, make changes and redistribute it. Linux platform is considered more secure.


Sherweb also consider Windows Millennium Edition or Windows ME, Microsoft’s Zune(rival of Apple iPhone), Bob(virtual interface), MSN Messenger ‘s Nerd smiley feature as Microsoft’s worst mistakes.

Here, we have listed worst mistakes of software giant but also not to forget that it had provided the world on the path of revolution as well with new technology.

Other use are can be used as a Wiki, replace emails and IM within an organization. Whatever it is, it seems to be pretty familiar due to the typical google type design parallel with it many also seem like something from another world for many non technical users, as it packs in so many services but still stays simple to use for most of the internet users. The Googler’s seems to be very excited about the launch.
Who will be invited?

• Google will send out around 100,000 invites.
• Current users on the sandbox server, Users who signed up for accounts at wave.google.com over the last few months (first-come, first-served), and a few select enterprise users on Google Apps accounts are likely to receive them.

Check the density of keywords on the page. There are many free online tools to check keyword density. The density of a keyword on your page must be between 5% and 15%. If the density is higher than that you are taking risk and can be penalized by the search engine.

Title tag is the text that will appear in the title bar of a web browser when someone visits your page. When the search engine spiders crawl you page the first thing read by them is your page title, so this is key factor of SEO. Your title should consist of keywords, a tag line and your company name.

Is rel=”nofollow” dead?

Search Engines have become intelligent over the past decade, and now they have started getting smarter. Over the past some day’s webmasters all over the world have become alert with the latest algorithm changes done by Google in its Page Rank algorithm.

Yeah, google has finally placed a challenge for webmaster with this change, it has changed the way Page Rank is distributed among the pages with altering the use of NoFollow tag. Firstly when the webmasters use nofollow the link juice was not passed to that particular page and was distributed equally among the other pages. But this is not the case anymore, now when you use the nofollow tag on a link you think is not important the juice will not be distributed among other links instead it will just evaporate. Due to this the link juice will be wasted and you will no longer get its benefit on other links. It’s a bit confusing for some people so below are some examples to help you understand better.




In the above example we can see that a page which has the sharing capacity of X units is passing the juice to 3 inner pages. No if you apply the nofollow attribute to any of the 3 inner pages then according to the old algorithm it used to be shared among the rest of the pages.



According to the given example we can see when we applied nofollow to a page its link juice was passed among the rest of the pages which was good as the link juice was not wasted but now the current scenario is not so pleasant.



Now here you can clearly see the dilemma the webmasters are facing. When the nofollow attribute is applied the link juice is still divided among 3 pages, the thing which is making everyone sad is that the link juice passed to the page with nofollow attribute is not passed to other pages instead it is evaporated. All the smart SEO’s around the globe have started finding solutions for this challenge. We have also come up with a couple of solutions with our research about it.

Solutions:-

• Use java script as its executes on click time and thus search engines will not be able to read the nofollow tag and thus will distribute the link juice to the rest of the pages.

• Use I-frame

These are solutions found up till now but don’t worry we’ll surely keep you updated. You can read more about other SEO topics here Web Design India.
