			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are times when you cannot help but be frustrated when searching for a particular item on the Internet. Not all search engines are as efficient, comprehensive and relevant. There are times when even Google and Yahoo cannot provide the specific site you are looking for. Google changed the way we search information. They created an innovative way of narrowing down relevant information. Now, with a few choice keywords we are easily directed to relevant sites. Google is once again taking the search engine race to the next level. They are set to release Google Caffeine, a new search engine.</p>
<p>How do you improve a search engine? The following areas should be satisfied: speed, accuracy, relevance and index size. Google Caffeine, the new search engine should be able to search the web in a matter of few seconds, narrow down the results by accuracy and relevance and come up with indexed results. The changes established may not be noticeable by most Internet users. However, SEO professionals would have to work double time in order to maximize the new search engine. Google Caffeine relies more on keyword strings to provide better results. Hence SEO professionals should be able to use keyword strings which will most likely be included in the new search engine’s indexed results.</p>
<p>Several tests done on Google Caffeine have favorable results. The speed is twice as fast and the results are more relevant and significantly indexed. Google has revolutionized the Internet once again.</p>

<p>Getting a favorable index for your website on Bing entails understanding what the search engine looks for in performance. If you can understand exactly what Bing wants from your website for a certain keyword, you&#8217;re sure to rank higher which will drive more traffic to your site. Here&#8217;s how you can use Bing to your advantage to get massive traffic.</p>
<p>Bing tends to look at the age of the domain as an important factor in indexing. While this isn&#8217;t great news for new domainers, if you&#8217;ve recently re-registered a previously used domain, you could see a jump in traffic from Bing for the age. Aside from the age of your website, there are many things you can do in the HTML of your site to improve its SEO ranking with Bing.</p>
<p>The first of these is anchor text. Bing places a high importance on anchor text, so be sure all of your key words are hyper-linked properly for the website you&#8217;re promoting and the keyword you wish to reach. Another method of ensuring you have a high ranking in Bing is through the use of backlinks. However, just getting backlinks isn&#8217;t enough, as Bing takes into account both the age and the number of backlinks your referring site has. Consider this the rival to Google&#8217;s PageRank.</p>
<p>Content is king with Google, but that&#8217;s not so with Bing. Websites which are updated regularly tend to see more success with Google, but that&#8217;s not the case with Bing, which places age over the importance of fresh content.</p>
<p>If you want to drive traffic from Bing to your new website, you need to make sure you use at least one of your targeted keywords in your domain. While keyword stuffing is not a good practice in general, there has been significant evidence which shows that many websites which employ the practice regularly show up in the top 10 in Bing search results.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-42 aligncenter" title="google" src="http://digitaltechman.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/google-300x211.jpg" alt="google" width="329" height="172" /></p>
<p>Getting your site on the first page of Google results is often considered to be the holy grail of business marketing, and rightly so. Currently, Google holds around 70% market share of all searches done around the world, which is a massive amount when compared to other engines like Bing, which only have a 10% market share. However, understanding how Google PageRank works is an important part of understanding exactly how you can get your site ranked on the first page for your selected keywords.</p>
<p>The first thing you should understand about Google is that content is king. Google wants to deliver searches which are relevant to the browser&#8217;s interests, so if you have fresh content which matches what the user is looking for, you&#8217;re more than likely to get indexed that much quicker on the first page. Regularly updating your site with content which revolves around targeted keywords will see your site skyrocket over a period of weeks.</p>
<p>Meta data is also an important aspect of getting listed in Google, as the easier time the Google spider has in finding data related to links and images on your website, the more likely you are to rank higher. Always make sure you include meta data for everything on your website, no matter how tedious and time consuming a process it may be.</p>
<p>Aside from content, the next best way to be indexed by Google is through backlinks. Getting backlinks from higher PageRank sites can be a godsend, especially if they are organic backlinks. While many people engage in the practice of purchasing backlinks, you should know this is a very black hat tactic in Google&#8217;s eyes and if its caught, your site could be banned from the search engine. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important to focus on content, and meta data in order to get your site listed in the search giant, rather than farming backlinks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-50 aligncenter" title="google-vs-bing" src="http://digitaltechman.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/google-vs-bing-300x241.jpg" alt="google-vs-bing" width="344" height="222" /></p>
<p>When Microsoft first introduced their new search engine technology earlier this year, many people thought it would be a Google killer. While it&#8217;s true that Bing is steadily gaining market share over the search engine giant, there are a few things to consider when wondering whether or not Bing will be able to displace the king of search.  Bing advertises itself as a decision engine instead of a search engine, and this is an accurate description. The Bing algorithm differs from that of Google in that it searches for terms which are similar to yours, rather than searching for exactly what you typed. Over the years, search engines have gotten smarter, but Bing takes this technology one step further by trying to rationalize exactly what you&#8217;re looking for.   A good example of this is a search for panda bears, in which Bing would display the results. The top three results are a Wikipedia article on panda bears, a site which gives locations of all the zoos in the world which house panda bears, and another website which has an artists art dedicated to the panda bear. Each of these search results is distinctive in that it has given a different result based on what it thinks you&#8217;re looking for.  Search results on Google return the Wikipedia article, but then it degrades from there until finally, the sponsored links are linking to a chinese restaurant known as Panda Express. The Google algorithm is aging, but with so many people clinging tightly to it, it&#8217;s not likely that Bing will replace it any time soon. Google has taken note of the market share which Bing has gained over the past few months, as they have begun cleaning up their search engine algorithm and website and fine tuning how results are displayed.  Google now has the ability to display real time results from social network sites like Twitter, something Bing has yet to do.</p>
