Google Now Allows Sites to Serve Content to Them While Showing a Registration Box to Non-Google Users

There once was a time when Google search tried to be a neutral bystander, watching the web without getting too actively involved. There once was a time when Google instructed webmasters to serve their Googlebot the same thing served to a site’s human users. Now, Google is officially telling webmasters they can serve one thing to people coming from Google web search, and another thing to people coming from elsewhere. Think of it as Google now offering publishers to hand Google a special key to the publisher’s content. Google calls this “first click free” and they say they do this in order “to help users find and access content that may require registration or a subscription”, to “include highly relevant content in Google’s search index” and to “to provide a promotion and discovery opportunity for publishers with restric

Google Android: The dude? Or big dud?

Today's the day Android strutted its stuff to the world. Is Android the game-changer for the SmartPhone industry, a real contender to the iPhone or just another cell phone OS? It's definitely not just another cell phone OS, as evidenced by all the attention around today's launch. Google has technology that other phones use but Google Android will exploit. Google search, of course is the 800-pound gorilla in search. Add Google maps (including a compass feature Google demonstrated in the T-Mobile [HTC] G1 phone), Google Webkit and the Chrome Web browser (a Chrome Lite comes on Android), Google Talk, YouTube, Google Apps, and so forth. This has allowed Google to layer in a single sign-on for all Google apps, and Android syncs data with your Google account for contacts, calendar, chat and likely other applications in the future.

Discussion of Web titles

There are so many different Web titles, it's amazing. I've seen everything from: Webmaster, Webmistress, Web Producer, Web Designer, Web Developer, Web Architect, Web Programmer, and many more. What is your Web job title? I have been a Web Setter, a Web Manager, and a Web Writer, as well as several of the titles listed above. Right now I call myself a Web Developer, Web Designer, or Web Writer, but that could change.

Google Android and Chrome: Pay No Attention to the Robot Behind the Curtain

Google has recently announced major initiatives that take them beyond their historical base in Web search and ad delivery. Google's Android mobile operating system and application development platform have generated significant media coverage and industry buzz. Google Chrome, their new Web browser, recently entered a very public beta test phase, and Google's App Engine and Google Gears have created much interest among Web developers. Are these projects that consume huge development resources part of a misguided effort to dethrone Microsoft's desktop hegemony? Is Google losing their focus on search and ad delivery as a result? Or is there more here than meets the eye?

Yahoo- Google inc. : A threat to Microsoft?

Yahoo, a major prize for Goliaths such as Google and Microsoft that wants to build a web empire with a major audience, sizable revenues, and good brand. By making a deal to Yahoo, Google gets a vastly bigger audience to go with its formidable resources. Google won’t be able to bid for Yahoo because of antitrust concerns. Yahoo has already surrendered some of its advertising space to search leader Google. The deal will allows running Google ads on yahoo search result pages. Google ad partnership with Yahoo could boost revenue and extend its online reach, making it the sole master of online advertising. Does Google deserve Yahoo? Google ad partnership with Yahoo would keep Yahoo out of Microsoft sight. Yahoo so desperate to stay away from Microsoft.

Borders.com Goes Live with Google Preview

Borders has enabled Google Preview on their site. Google Preview, unveiled in September, is a widget-like tool that allows retailers or anyone handy with Web site code to embed a preview of 20% of any book in Google’s database onto their site. Borders joins Books-A-Million and the U.K. retailer Blackwell Bookshop in using the service. The deal between Google and its retail partners stipulates that retailers will enable Google Preview for any book being sold that is also available in Google’s database, in exchange for an enhanced version of the Preview software. The big advantage for retailers of Google Preview is that it allows consumers to brows books scanned by Google without leaving the retailer’s Web site. Click the “Google Preview” button beneath the jacket art on Borders.

Improve Your Search Engine Rankings Equals Free Traffic

Before anything, let's just clear up what's meant by a search engine ranking? When an individual uses a search service like Google, Yahoo, MSN or many of the numerous smaller search services, they type in a question, or a request for information - this is called a 'search query'. When they enter that 'query' they are then presented by a whole list of results that search service has decided in their mysterious way are relevant search results to the query you want information on. This list of search results is often termed Organic Search Results. These are different to the Sponsored Search Results that often appear down the right hand margin of the search results page, and sometimes can appear at the top of the page shaded in a slightly different background colour.

Google Suggest Draws Complaints

Two percent of Google Suggest queries are logged, including the IP address. Google says it will anonymize this data within about 24 hours. Google Suggest is used in multiple products, including search, the Chrome and Firefox browsers, and Google Search on Apple, Inc.'s iPhone. A privacy advocate expressed satisfaction that Google is making changes.

Experience Web 3.0 via Truevert Green Search Engine

When it comes to search engines, Web 3.0 or semantic web means systems learn the contexts of a word to be able to perform more targeted queries; no more hit or miss result. More precisely called semantic search, it could make researching for information a lot easier, especially since the web has grown astronomically over the years. True to the sense of Web 3.0 and clean technology, Truevert is a Web 3.0 search engine dedicated to the topic. So, for example, if you type a query for "solar," you're not going to get results about solar eclipses, you'll get results for solar energy instead. There's even a list of filters you can use to segregate your search results into more specific topics.

Microsoft Trying To Shiv the Potential Google-Verizon Wireless Search Deal

Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) is trying hard to snatch away the search deal that Google (NSDQ: GOOG) has been working on with the second largest U.S. carrier Verizon Wireless (NYSE: VZ), and has offered a much sweeter rev share deal as part of it, reports WSJ, citing sources. MSFT saw an opening as Google was distracted trying to work and defend its search ad pact with Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO), which was officially called off yesterday, the story says. Details of Google’s talks with VZW came out in August, and at that time the deal was supposed to be a comprehensive one: Google would have been the default search provider on Verizon devices and would give it a share of ad revenue. The search functionality would be on VZW’s homescreen. Later on, the deal could extend to Verizon’s Web portal and even its FiOS TV service.

Google Sheds Light On 'Dark Web' With PDF Search

CWmike writes "Google this week took another step in its effort to shed light on the so-called Dark Web, announcing that its search engine can now search scanned documents in a PDF. In April, Google announced that it was looking for ways for its search engine to index HTML forms such as drop-down boxes or select menus that otherwise couldn't be found or indexed." An announcement is available at the official Google blog, and it contains some demonstration searches.

Google Can Predict the Flu

An anonymous reader mentions Google Flu Trends, a newly unveiled initiative of Google.org, Google's philanthropic arm. The claim is that this Web service, which aggregates search data to track outbreaks of influenza, can spot disease trends up to 2 weeks before Centers for Disease Control data can. The NYTimes writeup begins: "What if Google knew before anyone else that a fast-spreading flu outbreak was putting you at heightened risk of getting sick? And what if it could alert you, your doctor and your local public health officials before the muscle aches and chills kicked in? That, in essence, is the promise of Google Flu Trends, a new Web tool... unveiled on Tuesday, right at the start of flu season in the US. Google Flu Trends is based on the simple idea that people who are feeling sick will tend to turn to the Web for information, typ

Google Book Search API Released

Google now offers a book search API which allows other sites to embed book previews, query for certain book information, or just link to books at Book Search (the former Google Print). In Google’s blog post announcing this, Google mentions they already partnered with several online book sites who use their widget-style preview functionality – like this BooksaMillion.com page which shows a “Google preview” button. Clicking the button opens a box which lets you page through parts of the book, search, and zoom.

Google Site Search Offers On Demand Indexing

Google announced early this morning that they have updated their Site Search product to provide for on demand indexing of your site. What this means is that if you are using Google's Site Search feature to provide visitors to your web site with a tool to search your site, you can always keep that on site search tool up to date. It is important to note that this new tool does NOT provide on demand indexing for your site in Google's general index.

Google hopes Site Search will help it differentiate itself from rivals such as Microsoft subsidiary Fast, Mercado Software and Endeca.

Google to spread the Book Search wealth

It's not that Google has suddenly turned socialist. It's just that the company has finally realized that it's easier to make a profit when you play nicely with your partners than when you simply steamroll over them. The search giant announced it would be paying out $125 million to settle a three-year-old copyright infringement suit with authors and publishers over its Google Book Search program. The deal is good for authors and publishers, who get $45 million right upfront, a new copyright holders registry, and an agreement to share the proceeds from future Book Search revenue. But it also turns out to be good for Google, since it opens the program to far more texts and it keeps Book Search's revenue-generating capabilities intact. The deal is a win-win and a nice blueprint for Google to follow in its other high-profile copyright case--Vi

Try Google Search As It Was in 2001

In honor of their tenth birthday*, Google brought back their search engine the way it was many years ago, in January 2001. Below an old-school Google logo (in 2001 they were actually already using a newer one) the input box invites you to search through “1,326,920,000 web pages”. A search for Barack Obama returns around 773 results, for instance, with the top link leading to the old address as it was, and a special link pointing to the Wayback Machine’s archived version of it (today, over 60 million results are returned). A search for Gmail returns “gmail.linuxpower.org”, a Linux “email client for the Gnome desktop”. A search for BitTorrent returns 0 results.
