Poll Analysis Result (Week6)

We did a poll voting that related to our topic as usual last week. The poll voting this week is regarding to "Beside Google.com, there are some "Powerful" search engines. Which you had try to use before?"


We had did a simple analysis with a pie chart based on the previous votes result. The pie chart has proven that majority of the voters which is 7 voters out of 14 voters had tried out dogpile.com which is a search engine that search from multiple search engines. There are 5 voters chose baidu.com and 1 vote for dmoz.org and offline search engine. It seems that insta.found is not as well known as other search engines as there is no any voter tried it yet.


Do you agree with the poll analysis result we made based on the answer by voters? If not, kindly drop a comment in this post for further discussion on search engines. Let us know if you had tried out what insta.found search engine is all about!

Poll Result Analysis (Week 5)

     The title of the poll analysis in the previous week is "Will you take part in the coming soon contest?" We had created a pie chart for the vote result.
     In this week, we had created a contest for people to participate and win the prizes. There are "GRAND PRIZES" waiting for you to bring back. They are 8 GB pen-drive, wireless optical mouse, and earphone. These "GRAND PRIZES" are really awesome for who is interested take part in the contest. You just only need to do the simple steps that you will have a change to win the "GRAND PRIZES".

     It had only 9 voters joined themselves for answer the poll analysis question. That means the most people are interested to participate the contest because it had 7 voters out to 9 voters choose the answer "Sure, I am happy to hear this news". It had only 2 voters choose the answer "Maybe", that means the 2 voters are still considering to participate. Besides, there didn't have any voters choose the last answer "No, I am very busy"
      In conclusion, I feel very happy because most people are really to participate the contest. It is the chance for you to improve your knowledge and information of search engine. Furthermore, crossword puzzle is the best way for learning knowledge. I hope in the following days will increase the participants for take part in the contest.

Google AdWords is here!

Review On Google AdWords
After quietly testing in Brazil, Spanish-speaking Latin America, Spain, and Portugal, Google will gives more weight to landing page quality by rolling out a new algorithm globally when it comes to AdWords Quality Score. This means ads with landing pages that Google deems to be most relevant to the query will be able to rank higher for lower cost-per-click bids.

Landing page quality has long been a factor in Google AdWords. If an advertiser’s landing page was particularly terrible or misleading, advertisers could have their ads rejected or their accounts suspended or revoked. It is depending on how bad the policy violation was.

Relevance is what we always ask our advertisers to focus on by choosing a landing page or site experience that is both relevant to the keywords that you’re targeting and also a good experience for end users,” said Alferness. “This is just continuing to sort of push on those best practices. I gives us the ability to really reward those advertisers that have been doing this, whose landing pages really are some of the best in our systems.” For your information, the change will roll out in the next week or two. Advertisers may see some variations in ad position and keyword Quality Score at first, but things should settle down within a couple of weeks, according to Google. So, stay tune! If you are curious and feel free to try out Google AdWords, kindly visit here to test it out.

Open Search Engine Platform

     Last week, I have researched a lot about the next generation of search engines, and in this post I will relate to you guys my own definition about 3rd generation of search engines.

     As we know, the 1st generation search engines are recognized as indexing search engines or directories. Users can use keywords, but that is really 'searching', no other development to decide the relevance of data. Directory is a really good idea and is invented by portal giant, Yahoo. In this generation, at lease users can find something from a huge set of data.

A look inside the Google's London store
google-store-featured

     The 2nd generation which is the current generation is known as the core technology and also a great example would be Google's powerful PageRank. PageRank is actually a set of formulas and equations which determines the relevance and reliability of every webpage for every keyword. Users can find the most relevant and reliable data almost instantly. Furthermore, Google is famous for its indexing engine because we can search over 1 billion webpages in less than 0.1second.

     In the 3rd generation of search engines, machines will collect our searches and analyze them. For example, we will tell the search engine what we click, how long we stay and how many pages we view. These actions will be able to be understood by the 3rd generation search engines and they will use them to improve the result for the next user who wants to find answer to similar term.

     Currently, Snap.com is one of the first 3rd generation search engines out there. It is  project developed by idealab. Snap.com uses the searches made by users (besides the essential function of a typical search engine) there is also a tracker inside it and this might secret recipe of 3rd generation search engines.

     Finally, can you still remember we told you about Google Panda updated version 2.5? This search engine is going to arrive this week. It is not rumor; it was confirmed by Search Engines Land (http://searchengineland.com/) Would you try the differences between the previous version and the update version? If you have any question or suggestion, you can comment it and let us do some improvement for you.
