Google Sitemap ! – get your website crawled and Indexed.

Oct 28

Gepostet von admin in Google | Keine Kommentare

Google’s Googlebot and other search engine spiders crawl websites frequently and add webpages to search index. You need to submit only the homepage of a website and the spider will index all pages by following the links provided in homepage.

Frequency of crawling a website depends on search engine and their infrastructure. Webmasters do not have an option to ping the search engines to tell that a webpage is changed and need to be re-indexed. Well, that was the past, at least for Google.

Google now provides a protocol for the webmasters to submit links of frequently changing webpages. This is called Google Sitemap. If you have dynamic content in your site, you can update the sitemap with new links and google will index them at the earliest.I use Google sitemap.xml to let Google know of new pages added in news section or message boards in Ananthapuri.com website. Sometimes it is good idea to have our own program to update the XML when database contents changes. For example, I might schedule a 2-hourly job to check for newly added discussion forum threads or updated forums and ping Google to let know of changes in sitemap.xml.

10 Google Chrome Tricks that you did not notice !

  1. You can easily resize the text area by dragging it on the lower right corner. So if you need to write a BIG comment in a Blog you can easily extend the text area.
  2. You can reopen the recently closed tab by pressing “Ctrl+Shift+T”. Alternatively you can check the “Recently closed tabs” section when you are opening a new tab.
  3. You can easily search for keywords by pressing either Ctrl+K or Ctrl+E. You can also do this even simpler by typing “?keyword”.
  4. You can also use other search engine if you are not interested in Google. You can do this by right clicking on the Omnibar(Address bar) and choose “Edit search engine“. But I personally prefer Google.
  5. There are many about pages in Google Chrome. You can type about:memory in the address bar and you will get a report showing browsers running in your machine. It will also display the Details of memory usage by different Google Chrome’s processes. There are many other about pages like about:stats, about:version, about:network, about:dns, about:crash, about:histograms, about:cache, about:plugins, about:hang etc.
  6. You can easily drag a window anywhere you like. You can create a new window from your browser tab and you can also add it back to the original window.
  7. If you are looking to browse in private mode then you can try the “Incognito Mode”. You can enter the Incognito Mode by keying Ctrl+Shift+N. You can also right click a link and say “Open link in incognito window.”
  8. You can directly drag and drop a downloaded file directly from Google Chrome on to the desktop or a particular folder.
  9. You can Monitor the resources used by a web page just by right click inside the page and selecting “Inspect element”. You can also switch to “Resources” tab to view the objects load time.
  10. There is an easter Egg in Google Chrome. If you type about:internets it will show a series of tubes taken from the tubes screensaver. It works with Windows XP.

Android Phone Virtual keyboard will be here by 2009 !

Oct 24

Gepostet von admin in Google | 1 Kommentar

T-mobile G1 has really got excellent features. But there was no virtual keyboard. To force the users to use the QWERTY keyboard they haven’t had a virtual keyboard. As many users are complaining about it, the latest version of Android coming in Q1 09 will have a Virtual Keyboard. It is really annoying to type on the QWERT keypad and you will definitely love to use the virtual keyboard.

However the silk soft touchpad isn’t that bad as well.Given the fact that the operating system is very smooth and the experience is enriching the keyboard now adds on to our wishlist.

The Android roadmap for Q1 of 2009 has got some good things for us to make our lives easy. They are working on Input method framework and Input method engines.

Input method framework (IMF)

IMF will enable us to use other input methods like soft keyboards. I would be easier to use a virtual keyboard rather than using a physical keyboard. IMF will also help application developers to provide IME applications.

Input method engines (IME)

IME will support soft keyboards, a dictionary of suggestions, and a suggestion algorithm. This will help us to type the messages very quickly and easily.

I very well liked all the features of the latest Gmail for mobile version 2.0 . Intrestingly it is available in 35 languages.
