Yahoo puede estar batallando con Wall Street para convencerle sobre su futuro, pero por primera vez los usuarios le dieron una mejor puntuación a sus servicios que a los de Google, según un estudio presentado esta semana.Los datos del Índice de Satisfacción de los Usuarios Americanos de la Universidad de Michigan (ACSI, por sus siglas en inglés) mostraron que Yahoo ha visto crecer la satisfacción de sus usuarios un 3,9 por ciento en el último año, alcanzando los 79 puntos sobre 100, mientras que la puntuación de Google cayó un 3,7 por ciento hasta los 78 puntos.Mientras Google continúa dominando los buscadores en Internet, la presencia en la Red de Yahoo se está ganando la aprobación de los usuarios de sus páginas web, correo electrónico, redes sociales y otras herramientas, según una encuesta.La percepción positiva de Yahoo proviene del relanzamiento de su página principal y de sus servicios que ya se están arraigando, dijo Larry Freed, consejero delegado de ForeSee

O Google Health, protótipo do Google que tem o objetivo de ajudar os médicos a diagnosticar doenças em pacientes, foi apresentado. Segundo o próprio Adam Bosworth, Vice presidente da Google, é necessário reunir, organizar e disponibilizar informações médicas, já que mais de 20% dos pacientes americanos possuem informações computadorizadas, porém o restante fica com suas informações no papel, sofrendo na hora de mudar de cidade ou estado, não tendo acesso às suas informações médicas, como alergia, tipo sanguíneo e histórico hospitalar. Veja algumas imagens abaixo: Não há uma previsão para o lançamento oficial do serviço, nem afirmações se a interface apresentada sofrerá mudanças. Os domínios google.com/health and google.com/healthcare já estão criados, porém somente funcionando como redirecionamento. Via Undergoogle

El gigante de las búsquedas ha bloqueado uno de sus propios blogs oficiales.Google ha clasificado uno de sus propios blogs como spam, eliminándolo luego de su servicio Blogger. Posteriormente, un verdadero spammer se hizo cargo de la dirección del blog.La curiosa situación comenzó con un artículo en el servicio Google Blogoscoped. En un artículo, se indicaba que el blog oficial Google Custom Search Blog contenía algunos curiosos comentarios, con muchos errores ortográficos y lenguaje descuidado. Esto ocasionó especulaciones de que el blog en cuestión había sido hackeado.La explicación real es incluso más extraña. Un portavoz de Google explica que Google Cusom Search Blog fue clasificado como spam por un programa automático del servicio Blogger. Se desconoce la causa precisa, pero podría deberse a que el blog en algún momento tenía demasiada publicidad de adwords.Al detectarse situaciones de este tipo, el sistema envía un correo electrónico automático al propietari

La Federación de Consumidores en Acción ha denunciado hoy a los buscadores de Internet Google y Yahoo ante el Instituto Nacional de Consumo por publicidad engañosa y vulneración de la Ley de Marcas.Según FACUA, los anuncios que aparecen junto a los resultados de la búsqueda no están claramente diferenciados de los resultados de ésta. Además, acusa a los buscadores de no supervisar el contenido de los anuncios, de modo que algunas empresas se aprovechan de la popularidad de una marca rival para que sus anuncios aparezcan en el momento en que el usuario teclee el nombre de una marca rival.Una práctica creciente en EspañaLa organización de consumidores apunta que esta práctica, que resulta cada vez más frecuente en España y que ya ha sido objeto de varias denuncias en el extranjero, es contraria a la Ley de Marcas. FACUA ha publicado un estudio en el que nombra algunas de las empresas más importantes que llevan a cabo este tipo de prácticas según sector. Entre ellas, des

Very important change to Google Adwords and one thing to keep in mind is that Google has for a couple of years started to employ natural algorhithms to determine adwords advertiser relevancy, etc. so my prediction is that they will in a few years blend search results more and morealthough one can argue that its not in their DNA.

I came across a blog written by MobileJones, and he has a very special experience with Google Adsense. This experience is pretty bad and no one want to try. One day, he got the cheque from Google after he has earned more than $100 threshold for the previous month. He took that bank cheque to the local bank as usual, and want to deposit it. However, the most incredible thing happened to him - the check was bounced back! Google wrote a bad check to its publisher! Gosh! I don't know the story afterwards, and whether Google will send him another valid cheque.Apart from that, MobileJones, like most of us, has a lot of complaints on the customer service of Adsense program. When will Google agree to put more effort and resources into this program?

Después de 19 meses de prueba, Google ha decidido cerrar su servicio web de venta y alquiler de películas.La decisión, confirmada el viernes, acaba con las expectativas de la compañía de concentrar su poder financiero en el desarrollo de un formato de publicidad centrado en la inmensa popularidad del vídeo en línea.Así que YouTube será el punto central de la expansión de la compañía en este sector. No en vano pagaron 1.760 millones de dólares por ella. Ahora tendrán que consolidar un sistema de publicidad efectivo en la popular página de videoclips antes de que termine el año.Gran parte del negocio de Google se basa en la publicidad, aunque hasta ahora su modelo ha sido sobre todo el de los anuncios estáticos, mensajes de texto colocados en sus resultados de búsqueda y otros contenidos escritos en la Web.La sección de vídeo de Google seguirá abierta, pero dejará de mostrar programación de pago a partir del 15 de agosto.Por Diana DelgadoInformación extraída de:

Now check this out… Amazing things can happen due to glitches.. Yay to Google!

Google, the one and only search engine that we all love and abide to, has let us down for the first time. Their services like mail, the news, your calendar events and all the other things the Google world provides us with is not encrypted at all, meaning anyone can get their hands on what you’re doing and use it to their liking. “Google, like any other legitimate service provider, encrypts login traffic, but not your content. So the moment you’re signed in they switch to plain-text communications and send everything to you in the open.” This is very worrying indeed, seeing as we don’t expect the IT guy in the room upstairs to be able to see what we’r doing. However, there are ways to protect yourself and we urge you to follow them as strictly as you can. 1. Use bookmarks for your Google services. 2. Don’t click on links within Google to get to other services. Google, we hope that you get this situation fixed, pronto. Source Written by Ryan for Pro

The world wide webs most popular search engine, Google, shall be adding a new, simple feature to their well-used news section. The new apect will allow people involved in news stories to add their comments to the Web page, expressing their views and opinions. Alex Chitu sees a less positive view on the comment enabling addition, noting his thoughts on a blog. “Google has all the tools necessary for citizen journalism (mobile video upload in YouTube, mobile photo upload for Blogger [and] personalized Google Maps), but it doesn’t use them,” Chitu said. A google representative said “Our long-term vision is that any participant will be able to send in their comments, and we’ll show them next to the articles about the story,” he said. “Comments will be published in full, without any edits, but marked as ‘comments’ so readers know it’s the individual’s perspective, rather than part of a journalist’s report.” What&

External linking is the largest factor in determining PageRank, and is the place where you have the least control. There is no way to force another web master to link to your site, especially when they already have a high PageRank. For this reason and many more, increasing your PageRank is difficult, but important nonetheless. In this section we will discuss why external linking is important to the PageRank of your web pages, what the correct way to link is, who to request links from and why these links have such importance.The actual amount of effect that Google's PageRank has on the ranking of a website or web pages is debated, and it is probably safe to say that Google will not be letting us know anytime soon. What we do know is that a web page's PR does play a role in Google's indexing and Google's ranking. The higher a web page's PageRank, the more frequently it will be crawled and refreshed. While in most cases, a higher PR will accompany a higher-ranking site; it is not alw

Google has joined with major companies like IBM and Oracle plus other Open Invention Network (OIN) lovers, to help ‘protect’, if you like, the newly popular Linux operating system. The OIN is an organisation that uses Linux patents as a way of deterring potential patent infringement challenges. The OIN was developed a couple of years ago to allow patents to be shared between organisiations and form a defense if a powerful company, such as Microsoft, decide to challenge Linux on the patent side of things. “Ever since Google got its start, Linux has given us the power and flexibility we need to serve millions of users around the world,” said Chris DiBona, open-source programs manager at Google. What do you think of the whole idea? Is the Linux really that much of a big deal? Personally, I think Linux has the potential to take over- big time.

For those who are not familiar with Google's Page Rank(TM), which is commonly known as PR, it is Google's calculation or score of a web page based on external and internal linking of a site, as well as on-page criteria of the web page being linked to as well as the web page being linked from. The Page Rank calculation is much more detailed and complex, and we go into the calculation in more detail later in the tutorial, as well point out other places that you can read up on how Google calculates a web page's PR.Before you can begin to develop or increase the PageRank(TM) of your website and individual web pages, you will need to evaluate what the PageRank of your site's pages is currently. To view the PR of your site you will need to download the Google Toolbar.PageRank is in some ways related to link popularity, but the calculation is dependant on the quality and strength of the links, not just the number of links. So, how does one go about building and increasing their Page Rank.

The creator of the well-known open-source encylcopedia, Wikipedia, has recently exclaimed that he will not remove some search results for China, even though China have completely blocked Wikipedia from their servers. This seems like one step forward and two steps back if you ask me, as China are currently the second largest group of web users in the world, roughly 110 million, second only to the United States. Google were once in a similar situation and comprimised accuracy in their search results so that they could be part of China’s society, which was a good move in my opinion. “While removing search results is inconsistent with Google’s mission, providing no information (or a heavily degraded user experience that amounts to no information) is more inconsistent with our mission” said Google. What do you think? Smooth move? Or arrogant mistake? Source Written by Ryan for Product ReviewsIn Sections: Computers

It’s amazing how adsense earnings can turn into another significant monthly income stream with little effort on your part. Once the ads have been added to your site there is little or no maintenance.Some internet marketers are earning $100s and even $1000s per day with Adsense. Although I haven’t reached that level I have learnt a little over the years to make the most profit from the Adsense ads on my pages.Here are my 5 most effective ways to maximise your Adsense earnings:1. Blend the Ads in with your Site - Create colors for your ads that will blend in with the colors on your website. The idea is to make the ads look less like ads and more like just another part of your site. To do this, make the Adsense ad border and background the same color as your website background. Also make the link text the same color as your webs
