I just read a blog entry where the blogger attempts to make the case that Big Business (he refers to corporate world) does not engage in web 2.0 for a variety of reasons. I find the whole blog to be slightly suspect and I will explain why. First, he compares …

One aspect of search engines that worry me is the privacy aspect. Search engines use this information for their behavioral targeting. Look at the grid on the cnet page.

Yay for Bing! They're sending me 3X the amount of traffic that MSN used to. It's LITERALLY MS flipping a little switch and sending me 3X the amount of traffic one day to the next. Did anyone else notice a huge increase/decrease when Microsoft flipped the switch?

The title of this DaniWeb article is misleading and the author needs to be careful of how "quoting" someone needs to be kept in context. Just because Steve Ballmer [B][I]"says"[/I][/B] Microsoft [B][I]"ceded"[/I][/B] Search to Google does not automatically or explicitly imply that Microsoft had a choice in whether they lost …

Reading from another forum on this community, many bloggers disclosed their PageRank to be within the 0-2 range. Even for a blog I have that has not been updated often, the PageRank is 2. What is your blog's PageRank? Is it a business or personal blog?

Anchor text is what we call text links. You should always try and have all text links as descriptive keywords. When a spider follows the link to your page it should have an understanding of the content. Anchor text is a great way of improving your rankings on competitive keywords.
