Algorithm change launched

 From Matt Cutts' blog - http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/2011/01/

January 28, 2011

in Google/SEO

I just wanted to give a quick update on one thing I mentioned in my search engine spam post.

My post mentioned that “we’re evaluating multiple changes that should help drive spam levels even lower, including one change that primarily affects sites that copy others’ content and sites with low levels of original content.” That change was approved at our weekly quality launch meeting last Thursday and launched earlier this week.

This was a pretty targeted launch: slightly over 2% of queries change in some way, but less than half a percent of search results change enough that someone might really notice. The net effect is that searchers are more likely to see the sites that wrote the original content rather than a site that scraped or copied the original site’s content.

Thanks to Jeff Atwood and the team at Stack Overflow for providing feedback to Google about this issue. I mentioned the update over on Hacker News too, because folks on that site had been discussing specific queries too.

  I learnt 2 new SEO words or I have to say 2 new ENGLISH words.  :

A) SEOr, i.e. SEO guy, SEO man, SEO person.

B) SEOing, i.e. doing SEO.

  So long about today's SEO NEWS.

Google launches two-factor authentication

February 10, 2011
in Google/SEO

Google just launched two-factor authentication, and I believe everyone with a Google account should enable it.

Two-factor authentication (also known as 2-step verification) relies on something you know (like a password) and something you have (like a cell phone). Crackers have a harder time getting into your account, because even if they figure out your password, they still only have half of what they need. I wrote about two-factor authentication when Google rolled it out for Google Apps users back in September, and I’m a huge fan.

Account hijacking is no joke. Remember the Gawker password incident? If you used the same password on Gawker properties and Gmail, two-factor authentication would provide you with more protection. I’ve also had two relatives get their Gmail account hijacked when someone guessed their password. I’ve also seen plenty of incidents like this where two-factor authentication would have kept hackers out. If someone hacked your Gmail account, think of all the other passwords they could get access to, including your domain name or webhost accounts.

Is it a little bit of extra work? Yes. But two-step verification instantly provides you with a much higher level of protection. I use it on my personal Gmail account, and you should too. Please, protect yourself now and enable two-factor authentication.

"The Dao of SEO by Kenneth Sproul" I saw it during my morning surfing. Sounds too Bruce Lee's  ("Tao of Jeet Kune Do" by Bruce Lee /or Li Xiao-Long/).
 Dao or Tao /道/ in Chinese means "way". So if we translate completely in English that SEO book, then it will come as "The Way of SEO". Sounds good, philosophical and very marketable!  Good for you, Kenneth Sproul! I hope I can read that book - "The Dao of SEO" some day.

 Seems the Newport Beach Houses is getting well. The competition is very strong, but we're in TOP 500, for now.
Good chances, proffesional SEO job! The only problem as I see is that we're a new website and for the newbies is not that easy to compete with the old websites, because one of the Google algorithms prefer the old websites, not the newbies, as I read.

  These days the Newport Beach Houses' search volume index in Google Trends is so high. It is close to 60.0 - http://www.google.com/trends?q=Newport+Beach+Houses&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0
