Mobile phones are no more a luxurious affair. They have become an integral part of our life. People in the earlier stages used it as a medium of communication and they still do it but with the advancement of technical enhanced features they provide a plethora of opportunities.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Interacting with friends through chat options, checking emails, socializing through networks were some of the features till 2009. In the last 3 years, there has been a significant surge in the sale of smartphones. In fact, the number of searched from mobile devices has gone up 5 fold times in the period 2009-2012.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thus there is a need for optimization of mobile based website. Like optimization of website, mobile based website starts with keyword research. Now, you have a tool too to check out the web traffic statistics. If you are running a Google Adwords campaign then follow the steps.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1) Go into Campaign Summary.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2) Choose an ad campaign with a mobile ad. (This is a critical step.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3) Open the mobile ad.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4) Click on the Keyword tab.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5) Choose the Ad Keywords + sign</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
6) Then select Add Keywords using the Keyword Tool</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
7) You will see “Results are tailored to mobile searches“</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now you have the power to leverage mobile-specific keyword insight for optimization when you have content that is likely to have the opportunity to be consumed via mobile devices as well. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Filtering options available for mobile: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>All Mobile Devices, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Mobile WAP Devices, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Desktop, Laptop Searches vs. Mobile Searches</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You need to understand the behavior of search conducted through mobile devices. The intent and motivation are the two critical factors. In our day to day activity, we tend to focus more on email, updates through twitter or Facebook or a chat with friends or colleagues. How many times have you ever bought a product directly from mobile device? Chances are less. The community as a whole seeks information through mobile devices and gets hooked on to their desktop or laptop or tablet for deciding on the final option and then goes for the ultimate action (Purchase – Conversion).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The scenario changes when it’s a subscription to a newsletter, filling up of a contact form or general surfing. The exit rate is low and conversions are higher. Even a Click-To-Call option works well.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>To optimize well for mobile based website, here is a checklist</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Do you have a mobile based website?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>If yes, does it perform well in the generic available browser?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Which device medium is expected to generate traffic?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Target Audience</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Target Location</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
6.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Goal of your website</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
8.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Optimizing the landing page</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once you are done with the checklist you are almost through. You need to analyze the traffic initially Day-to-Day, Week on Week and then Month on Month. The statistics that you should be looking forward to are:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Percentage of Traffic through different medium</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Percentage of Mobile based traffic (Device/Platform)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Country and City wise traffic – Mobile</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Entrance, Exit rate</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Bounce Rate (Average/Pagewise)</div>

6.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Average Pageviews</div>

</div><h2 style="text-align: center;">SEO Training in Kolkata</h2><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In the past few months the number of queries for SEO Training has gone up. Most of the calls where related to seo queries and ended up with “<b>why don’t you provide seo training?</b>” Yes, I do impart training on SEO and SEM to my colleagues in my office and sometimes to people who are looking for a job or business but never thought of imparting professional training to candidates. This blog post goes out to all those people who have inspired me to think about this initiative and start <b>Professional SEO Training in Kolkata/Calcutta</b>. </div><br />
Let me organize the things for you. First, let me answer some of the basic queries asked by visitors to my blog and secondly, how to go ahead with the program.<br />
<br />
<b>Q1. Do you train people on SEO and SEM?</b><br />
<br />
Ans: Yes, I do.<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Q2. What are the different types of seo courses available?</b><br />
<br />
<div closure_uid_3gwa5h="180">Ans: There are three types of courses. </div>1. Basic SEO Strategies<br />
2. Professional SEO Strategies<br />
3. PPC Campaigns<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Q3. What is the course duration?</b><br />
<br />
Ans: Basic SEO Strategies – One month.<br />
Professional Strategies – Two months.<br />
<div closure_uid_zftd6k="184">PPC Campaigns – One month.</div><div closure_uid_zftd6k="171"><strong>Q4. How about getting a job after completion of the training?</strong></div><br />
Ans: Once you complete the training and post your resume in the different job portals, I believe you don’t have to look for jobs, they will look for you.<br />
<br />
<b>Q5. Do I stand a chance to work on live seo project?</b><br />
<br />
Ans: No seo training is complete with working on live projects. Here, you will not only get a chance to work on live international projects but also you get to know how to handle international clients. This will provide an impetus to your career and your confidence.<br />
<br />
<b>Q6. How do I start the training on SEO or Internet Marketing or SEM ?</b><br />
<br />
Ans: You need to send me a mail regarding your intention to join the seo training classes.<br />
<br />
<b>Q7. When are the classes held?</b><br />
<br />
Ans: The classes will be held on weekends i.e. Saturdays and Sundays. The reason, I work for a company and thus can devote my weekends to you guys.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">I hope I have been able to answer most of your queries. The last and the most important question that remained unanswered is the cost of the training. Well, as I am not opening up a next NIIT or TULEC thus my course fees is always negotiable depending upon the candidate.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">I thought of sharing one of my experiences with you. I have been lucky enough to train few people earlier and I am happy that they have been successful in their endeavor to achieve what they wanted. One of the candidates is Mr. Pritam who is running his own online business and the other Mr.Gopal Das who is heading the SEO Department for an Ireland Company.</div><br />
Your search for a SEO Training Institute in kolkata ends here. Now, you can get trained by me and solve your queries in few minutes. <br />
<br />
Happy learning.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><p><a href="http://seotechnique.blogspot.com">

<b>Non-Latin characters are being used for top-level domains</b></div><br />
For the first time in the history of the Internet, non-Latin characters are being used for top-level domains. The first IDN country-code top-level domains were inserted in the DNS root zone earlier today. The associated countries and their respective IDN ccTLDs are:<br />
<br />
Egypt: مصر (Egypt)<br />
Saudi Arabia: السعودية (AlSaudiah) <br />
United Arab Emirates: امارات (Emarat) <br />
<br />
These are the first IDN ccTLDs to appear online as a result of the IDN ccTLD Fast Track Process which was approved by the ICANN Board at its annual meeting in Seoul, South Korea on 30 October 2009. <br />

Google has acquired BumpTop - a startup that designs software that creates a 3D interface for your desktop</b><br />
<br />
More than three years ago, we set out to completely change the way people use their desktops. We're very grateful for all your support over that time — not just financially but also through all the encouraging messages from people who found BumpTop inspiring, useful, and just downright fun.<br />
<br />
Today, we have a big announcement to make: we're excited to announce that we've been acquired by Google! This means that BumpTop (for both Windows and Mac) will no longer be available for sale. Additionally, no updates to the products are planned.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><p><a href="http://seotechnique.blogspot.com">

Rise from the Ashes. Started operation in 2001, then went off for some period of time and then again refurbished them and now back again in 2010. Probably, they are fascinated by the numbers 0012.<br />
<br />
I did a basic search for keywords and could only understand that then need to go a long way to grasp any traffic.<br />
<br />
Here are some of my observations:<br />
<br />
1. Top - 5 sponsored advertisement.<br />
2. Footer – 5 Sponsored Advertisement<br />
3. The sponsored ads are too large and above the fold.<br />
4. The SERP looks better compared to Yahoo and Bing.<br />
5. Top four results comprises of two domains having an inner page as a part of the SERP.<br />

SERP layout changed last week around the first week of May, 2010. What may be the possible consequences?<br />
<br />
1. Loss in Google Traffic.<br />
2. New format.<br />
3. Loss in rankings for some long tail key phrases.<br />
4. Ranking shake up.<br />

As Google accounts for most of the traffic, a minor change in traffic signals may cause worries for webmasters across the world.<br />

</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Microsoft Office and Facebook partner the new friends</b></div><br />
<br />
Well, Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg just shared a feature that could give Microsoft a big advantage over competitors. Microsoft and Facebook launched a site called Docs.com this morning, which is all about sharing your documents using Facebook in the cloud. He didn’t offer too many details, but said the document site will work closely with the social network. If you want to share a document on Facebook, you can do so using the connections you’ve already built on the social network.<br />
<br />
Here are some quotes from the Microsoft post introducing the site (which is formatted, rather annoyingly, as an online Office doc, making it much harder to copy-and-paste):<br />
<br />
Built on Microsoft Office 2010, the Docs app enables Facebook users for the first time to create and share Microsoft Office documents directly with their Facebook friends, using the Office tools they already know. …<div class="blogger-post-footer"><p><a href="http://seotechnique.blogspot.com">

<br />
The reactions aren't surprising, given how many people have asked the AP to change the style from two words to one word, arguing that "Web site" is an antiquated way of writing it.<br />
<br />
"We decided to make the change because 'website' is increasingly common," said Sally Jacobsen, deputy managing editor for projects at the AP and one of three Stylebook editors. "We also had invited readers and users of the Stylebook to offer us some suggestions for a new social media guide that we're including in the 2010 Stylebook, and we got a very good response and a large number of people who favored 'website' as one word."<div class="blogger-post-footer"><p><a href="http://seotechnique.blogspot.com">

The reason - Millions of people use Google every day to find places in the real world, and we want to better connect Place Pages — the way that businesses are being found today — with the tool that enables business owners to manage their presence on Google.<br />
<br />
Google is also adding some new features:- <br />
<br />
<ul><li>Show your service coverage or hide your address. </li>
<li>Tag Ads added to Austin, Atlanta and Washington, D.C. and to follow in Chicago, San Diego, Seattle, Boulder and San Francisco </li>
<li>Free business photo shoots service to enhace the profile. </li>
<li>Customised QR codes from the Places dashboard. </li>
<li>Running another batch of Favorite places.</li>
</ul><br />
To keep track of how your business listing is performing on Google, we offer a personalized dashboard within Google Places that includes data about how many times people have found your business on Google, what keywords they used to find it and even what areas people traveled from to visit your business. With the dashboard, you can see how your use of any of these new features affects interest in your business and make more informed decisions about how to be found on Google and interact with your customers.<br />

<br />
Social Networking Platforms have given webmasters with more ways to try out their luck in Internet Marketing. Facebook, Myspace, Orkut, Twitter are just a few names. Specially, Twitter and Facebook have grown beyond expectations.<br />
<br />
Here are some facts and figures:<br />
<br />
Facebook is closing in on the 500 million monthly unique visitors mark. The social network saw 484 million unique visitors worldwide in March, 2010, according to comScore’s latest estimate. That number is up 64 percent from a year ago, and up 22 million from just February, 2010. In other words, it grew by about the size of Twitter.com’s entire U.S. audience in a single month. (ComScore puts Twitter’s worldwide audience at 79 million people).<br />

<br />
If you are not so much a programming geek then this is your first chance to grab a forum and integrate into your website by just clicking a few links.<br />
<br />
Tal.ki is a new forum product from Lefora. You can grab the embed link, put it on a website and you’ve added a forum. The best part is users don’t have to create accounts – they can sign in via a variety of services like Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo or OpenID. <br />

<div style="color: blue; text-align: justify;">Over the last few months there have been non-stop rumors about Facebook finally launching its location feature (an announcement may well come at f8). But a startup called Glympse has already beaten them to the punch (well, sort of). The service now allows you to share you location with Facebook friends via the News Feed, using a nifty widget that plots your position on a map and updates it in real-time.</div><div style="color: blue; text-align: justify;">Glympse, is a bit like Google Latitude in a way that it allows you to passively share your location with friends. But unlike Google Latitude, Glympse is for granting people temporary access to your location.</div><div style="color: blue; text-align: justify;"><br />

</h3><div style="color: blue; text-align: justify;">Dealing With Google: Much of the discussion at Twitter meetings throughout the past six months revolved around dealing with Google and Facebook. In a March 13, 2009 management meeting, for example, during a discussion of a search deal with Google, the fear is expressed that “Google would kick our ass at finding the good tweet.” But almost immediately afterwards, someone asks, “Can we do to google what google has done to others?”</div><div style="color: blue;"><br />
</div><div style="color: blue; text-align: justify;">In a May 7 management meeting, Twitter’s search syndication strategy with Google is discussed, as is the desire of “every tech company” to gain access to “Hosebird,” an API Twitter is working on to deliver its full stream of Tweets to search partners and others. The attitude towards Google is cautious: “Playing with fire here where we know that Google is building the competitive product.”</div><div style="color: blue; text-align: justify;">But by June 9, things seem to have progressed with Google. After an earlier two hour meeting with Google executives, the Twitter leadership had decided that an “agreement for some period of time makes sense – with our parameters.” But at the same time, they resolved to that Twitter’s own “search results page needs to be great – better than the landing pages on Google.”</div><br />

The domain of Internet's most successful companies Google, eBay, Amazon has through the years shaped World Wide Web what it is today. <br />
<br />
Short for 'commercial', the .com extension was initially intended to be used for ecommerce websites. However, over the years, the domain has been in use for any and every type of site, from business to blogs to personal websites. <br />
<br />
As the .com celebrates its 25th birthday, here are 10 interesting facts about the domain.<br />
<br />
1. Twenty five years ago, on March 15, 1985, the first commercial dotcom company Symbolics.com was born. It was one of the six dotcoms registered in 1985. <br />
<br />
2. In 2009, Symbolics.com was sold to XF.com Investments. The current Symbolics web site is available at symbolics-dks.com. XF.com is a commercial real estate and investment site.<br />
<br />
3. Before the domain name .com was finalised, .cor was the top runner for corporation names. The .com was originally administered by the United States Department of Defense, but is today operated by VeriSign. <br />
<br />
4. Any guesses on the number of .coms today? Of the current 250 million websites, a whopping 80 million are .coms. <br />
<br />
5. Between 1985 and 2000, over 21 million domain names were registered. 57 million domain names were registered between 2000 and 2010. The .com domain initially saw a slow pick up with mere 100 .com domain names registered two and a half years after the first .com was registered. <br />
<br />
6. During Internet boom in 1997, .com count reached the one millionth number.<br />
<br />
7. You thought dotcom bust of 2000, which saw large number of dotcoms of all sizes crumbling like nine pins, stole the domain's scorching growth march? Not really! In the year 2000 too, the number of dotcoms grew by a monthly average of 668,000 globally.<br />
<br />
8. Ever wondered which is the .com with the longest name? It is: http://www.llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyll-llantysiliogogogoch.com. The domain name belongs to a Welsh village.<br />
<br />
9. Which is the world's most expensive .com? No, it is not sex.com despite the huge number of takers for porns on Internet. The world's most expensive .com is insure.com. In 2009, the site was bought for a whopping $16 million by QuintStreet. Presently, the site offers life insurance, auto insurance, health insurance and other policies. <br />
<br />
10. Before 2009, sex.com held the title for the world's most expensive .com domain having got sold for $14 million in 2006. At No 3 & 4 are Fund.com, which got sold for $9.99 million in 2008 and Porn.com, which got sold for $9.5 million in 2007.<br />
<br />
The most popular words used in domain names are home (1.2 million), online (one million), and land (891,000), according to VeriSign. <br />
<br />
Today, nearly 53 billion requests for websites including .com are logged every day.<br />
<br />
World's first ten dotcom names were sold between March 1985 to March 1986. Below are the top ten in order... <br />
<br />
Symbolics.com (March 15, 1985), <br />

<br />
According to a new ITIF study, the dotcom domain has become the platform for $400 billion in annual economic activity, a number that is expected to rise to $950 billion by 2020.<br />
<br />

PeopleRank or public information about you is no more a vanity. People don’t search for their own information on the web just for the sake of it anymore, the whole idea is to find out how much popular he/she is on the World Wide Web. The resultant factor is to get a brand name for you. WebMii conglomerates data from Google, Facebook, Twitter, Bing, Yahoo Search and other search engine to provide you with a picture of your image on the internet. However, there are some restrictions. They have country specific searches like USA, France, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland, United Kingdom and International as a category.<br /><br />Public Profile Results Page (PPRS) as coined by me is something that have evolved over the time and I am sure people will be going crazy over this just like they did the same for twitter.<br /><br />The PPRS have lots of sections namely Tags, Photos (powered by Facebook, Bing), Email, Facebook Profile, Hi5 Profile, Twitter, MySpace, Websites (powered by Yahoo) and Blogs (powered by Google) which contributes to the overall PeopleRank.<br /><br />The time factor shown up in the right hand side can be assumed as being proud to conglomerate the data in such a short time.<br /><br />Looks Good right!<br /><br />Now, give a hawk eyes to the way the data is being manipulated. Let’s take an example. You have a low PeopleRank and now as you have come across this term you want to work on it. Here are few tips to improve it.<br /><br />1. Increase you Facebook interaction<br />2. Name your images and upload as many variations as you want.<br />3. Tags even though powered by Google, I believe they involve Tagged info as well.<br />4. Make good use of your friends and connections at LinkedIn<br />5. If you have a blog it’s all the more advantageous to build your brand.<br />6. Make sure you have your name as the original name for most of these applications otherwise the whole effort is wasted.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Advantages :</span><br /><ul><li>Most of the employers now seek online information pertaining to the candidate before even actually checking for references.</li><li>The better information you have promoted for yourself the better it is for the yourself in terms of social gathering, online meetings.</li><li>It may develop into a mania of checking your online reputation every now and then.</li><li>Most of them are free applications, website thus the only thing you need to invest is time.</li><li>Get famous – though with time.</li></ul><span style="font-weight: bold;">Disadvantages:</span><br /><ul><li>Be aware that your reputation is at stake when you expect bad comments for your profile.</li><li>Most people are unaware of their public profile and even when they come to know about it … it might be too late.</li><li>Online Reputation Management is a tough task, it involves a lot of time and logic.</li><li>Make sure you don’t add your competitor in your circle, otherwise it may prove demeaning for your profile.</li></ul>I am waiting for your comments now. Do comment on this post but please do not make comments merely for the sake of seo benefits by putting links through un relevant anchor texts.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><p><a href="http://seotechnique.blogspot.com">

It has introduced 20 absolutely new and unique shapes for the standard flowchart components. Not only that, users can enjoy more control over drawing text layout as they are now supported with line break options. The line break options are available in text boxes as well as within shapes. Users can access these features simply by inserting the desired drawing into any spreadsheet, document or presentation.<br /><br />My suggestions to Google would be to introduce:<br /><br />1. Connectors and<br />2. Multiple arrow/endpoint options<br /><br />This would really make it awesome.

Or whether they can afford it or not? But it seems that the lingering question that mostly affects the Internet marketers is that – what will happen if Google actually admits that they cannot afford it? If you are using YouTube as a marketing platform then should you be worried? Well, to think about it, no one actually knows how much YouTube costs Google or the exact amount of the revenue that it brings in.<br /><br />Considering the overall cost, which includes the cost of storage, servers and bandwidth for streaming huge amount of video files over the Web, it is likely that YouTube costs Google more than they had expected when it started off. On the other hand, in case of the popularity of YouTube among worldwide video watchers has exactly been what Google had expected. But, Google has overlooked the fact that YouTube would also appeal to the advertisers, whose money equivalents the costs. Advertisers generally have been keener on getting their ads side-by-side with a service showing Hollywood videos rather than getting it placed on the sides of amateur contents.<br /><br />Despite the fact that they have not yet found out the right formula, Google, however continues to squeeze in its offering. But the question is how long Google will be able to support this loss? Will they continue to bear the cost until they find the right formula? Google, as most people believe can afford to lose this amount of money for a while. But what nobody knows is that whether the company is ready to do it or not.<br /><br />YouTube apparently seemed to be a huge advertising success – at least that’s what most people, including Google expected, as videos are probably the most popular form of media. On top of that YouTube offers to host videos for absolutely free. So, the question is what could probably resist the advertisers from getting tempted? Whatever the reason maybe, it seems that advertisers have indeed made YouTube a huge disappointment for Google.<br /><br />On the contrast listing off other free content plays like Gmail, Google Docs and the upcoming Google Wave has never occurred in anybodies mind so far. Actually they were never expected to disappoint Google.<br /><br />If Google remains a bit more patient and change its attitude about YouTube, then in the long-run the company can emerge as the leader in video and eventually figure out a way to utilize YouTube as the ideal advertising platform and also find out a way to make money out of it.<br /><br />So, if you use YouTube for marketing purpose, don’t worry! Keep yourself focused and continue to do so. For backup, you can always post your videos to Vimeo and other sites – just incase.<br /><br />Shoot your queries to <a href="http://seotechnique.blogspot.com/">SEO Kolkata</a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><p><a href="http://seotechnique.blogspot.com">

It is something that web users have been waiting for quite a long time now. However, Yahoo announced that for the time being, the site will have both the old and new homepage and will probably be featuring an opt-in choice for interested users.<br />The new homepage is by far much neater and less cluttered as it consists of lesser buttons and modules. Not only that, even the search option on the page seems to be more prominent. Search, in the new design has been integrated into the other parts of the page making it more visible.<br /><br />Unlike the older homepage, the left column of Yahoo properties, which was a static list, now, has been modified into a customizable menu that transforms into an RSS reader or a dashboard. In the new design, users will also be benefited with the option of adding or removing applications to and from their Yahoo homepages according to their preferences. Even when Yahoo has created a wide variety of widgets to be launched, users are allowed to add any third-party site that has RSS feed capabilities. This has open up a whole new horizon for third-party developers, as they can now add their own created applications to the gallery.<br /><br />Yahoo executive, Tapan Bhat stated that the company will recommend widgets to the users on the basis of their individual browsing and click-stream behavior. Adding and removing applications from the homepage is not only simple but can be done with just one single click. For example, when a user takes the mouse over the “My Favorites” application, a new window will open, which will not only allow him to see the site but will allow him to view the content as well.<br /><br />On the right hand side of the window, a new and relevant (contextually) ad unit is placed, which can be used to target the content of the page itself. Yahoo, while explaining this feature gave the example of a movie opening targeting users who look up for movie show times from one of Yahoo’s native movies application.<br /><br />The new sliding fun-to-serious scale is one of the many amazing and useful features that have been added to the new homepage. This feature will help users to adjust the news they view on their personalized Yahoo homepage. Yahoo further plans to start off with a new look and feel for search results that will inform users about the latest happenings on the homepage itself.<br />However, U.S web users will be first ones to experience the new Yahoo homepage, as it is about to be released first across U.S and then in UK, India, France and other countries respectively.<br /><br />Please ask your question to <a href="http://seotechnique.blogspot.com/">SEO Kolkata </a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><p><a href="http://seotechnique.blogspot.com">
