have you noticed this fact in Google china domain ?

Why does Google use a red color highlight to show the keyword of the search term ? And the bad thing is that this makes it look like a spam site [ just kidding ] .But it does seem odd .

My blog post gets included in google SERP in 2nd page within 7 minutes

I really dont know what is going on in google.There are so many oscillations in SERP ; webmasters talking about algorithm changes – we can never believe in all these guesses unless one of the google employess reveals the truth and iam sure this is not going to happen .

But here is something i noticed recently.Google indexing and then including my blog post in their SERP within 7 minutes .

This is a snapshot of the google SERP.the search query was “google algorithm +change 400” .I made a post ;submitted them to two of the social sites [ humsurfer.com and indianbytes.com ] and when i checked the SERP this what i saw [ see the 3rd result in the snapshot – that shows my blog and that the post was included 7 minutes ago ]:

 

 

But yeah the post later lost the SERP – i dont know when it lost the ranking .But what i want to point out is the abnormal way in which the google bots have acted by including a fresh post in the 2nd page of google SERP within 7 minutes .

Firefox NoDoFollow add-on to detect nofollow backlinks and dofollow backlinks

Usually whenever i wanted to check whether a particular social site gives a dofollow link or nofollow link to its postings , i would see the page source and then see whether there is a “nofollow” attribute value for “rel” or not.

But here is a cool ad-on to our rescue.The add-on is called “NoDoFollow” and when selected , it highlights the links that are noDofollow and the links are dofollow .

To see the results of the add=on just visit any webpage , and right click any link you see in the webpage and select “nofollow” – you may then see the highlights in the webpage – a red and a light blue highlights .To discard those highlights again right click on any link and select “noDofollow” .

ADD-ON HIGHLIGHTS :

RED – NoFollow link

BLUE -  Dofollow link

here is a snapshot showing the highlights indicated by the add-on after right clicking a link in my digg home page :

 

The snapshot has blue-highlights everywhere in the webpage indicating that they are all dofollow links .

google ads about terrorism – bots have probably gone crazy

I am an active reader of mashable and i just came through a post that really made me think if the google ad  systems still need a bit of tweaking by google staff.I have always thought google was perfect in every department they are in.But this post suggests that nobody is perfect and constant improvement is needed to adapt to different situations.Hope google notices the story here or in other sites regarding these ads and starts tweaking their algorithms .

So here is the link to a mashable article which shows you two ads by google stating “Pursue a certificate in terrorism 100% online , Enroll today” .All thanks to the author Pete who wrote the article in mashable .
