Everyone is trying to second-guess what’s going on at Yahoo!. Some experts are saying webmasters will stop paying $299 yearly for the Yahoo! Business Express listing because they’ve seen their rankings tank since Yahoo! started serving Google crawler-based results. Others say it’s more important than ever to pay for the Yahoo! listing in order to boost link popularity, an important algorithm ranking factor.
What Changed at Yahoo!?
It’s a fact of life that there’s a very good chance that you are racing against every one (or a good portion of) your competitors, so it makes sense to know who is likely to be bidding for the contract.
You wouldn’t believe how many times I have been asked the question “So what exactly is the difference between a switch and a hub anyway?” Or how many times I have heard it answered “Well, switches switch and… err… a hub doesn’t.” This would leave one to believe that maybe there isn’t much difference at all or maybe this is just another one of those marketing strategies so that computer vendors can charge us more. Well that is not the case and there really is a difference (quite a significant one).
How would you like to have a tool that could make your web site load faster? What if it could also allow you to make changes across you entire site with just a few keystrokes?

I have a section of a web site that deals with comic strips. It’s mostly gif files with hardly any text. What can I do to get the search engines check this out. Adding lots of META tags with keywords will look suspiciously like spamming, SowhatdoIdo ???
I am a prolific online shopper. As a result, my UPS man and I are on a first name basis and I see more of him than some members of my own family.
Aside from the UPS man who makes deliveries at least weekly and far more often this time of year, my garbage man and I have discussed the issue of shipping, too. The UPS man just thinks I get lots of large boxes. The garbage man just thinks that I throw away large boxes full of packing peanuts, shreddies, and other assorted fillers.
1. The importance of a schedule and staying focused. Keeping on task:
Schedule promotions Plan and make a task schedule for project ideas. Schedule purchases — (don’t buy on impulse, the offer will still be there in a day or so!) Schedule time — (remember to schedule time for family members as well :o) Schedule breaks from the computer — (not just physical breaks, take your mind off your business and have some fun – you’ll be more fresh and productive when you go back to work!)
As with a verbal sales presentation, your written sales presentation should have a beginning, a middle and an end.
This is for the rest of you too!
I had attempted to write this article once before, but I did not like what I wrote and scrapped it. I don’t see articles like this and was hesitant to express my comments. Perhaps all publishers can view my position in a similar manner when it comes to those little things that bug us.
Inktomi is a behind the scenes search engine, powering some of the largest search services on the web, including MSN, Looksmart, About, and others, as well as a number of regional heavyweights. Dozens of other major web sites use Inktomi Enterprise Search to power their on-site search engine.
In short, Inktomi is a major player in the web search arena, despite its low profile, operating largely behind the scenes.
