Google adds automatic translation to some search results

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 19:18:36 +0000

Google adds link to selected automatically translated search results in Non-English versions of the search engine.
Google [NSDQ:GOOG] has spent millions on its translation program. You may think this is mainly to compete with other online machine translation services like Yahoo’s Babelfish. It is actually much more.
The goal is to make web pages in most languages available for searchers, regardless of their own first language. Hence if you use the Norwegian version of Google over at google.no, the search results may include a link to translated versions of Non-Norwegian web sites. This way Google will gain some satisfied users and even more pages on which to place ads.
There are only some 5 million people who speak and write Norwegian, which means that there are a limited number of web sites available in that language. Including translated sites in search results will widen the amount of information available for Norwegians.

Google adds even more search options

Sun, 04 Oct 2009 10:24:46 +0000

Last week we told you about how Google had added book search to their Search Options feature. This week they added more options.
The Search Options feature is a link added to Google’s [NSDQ:GOOG] search result pages. Click on the Search options link under the search form and Google will add a left hand column with additional services.
Bing and Yahoo have similar links in their left hand column. However, those left hand columns are part of the basic lay out. There is no need to click on a link to make it visible. It may be that Google do not want to confuse unskilled searchers unduly. We will unconfuse the service for you!
As you might remember from our original presentation of Search options, the column presents four sections with tools for refining your search. The first bullet point on each section is the default choice for a regular search.
Google has announced [...]

Useful search previews

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 12:09:56 +0000

My favorite among the many alternatives to Google these days is semantic search engine Duck Duck Go. And this great little search engine just got better — it now offers quick and useful previews of the sites in the search results, so you don’t have to click through to know if you’ve found what you are looking for.
This is how they do it:

Go out and grab the current version of the page.
Turn it into paragraphs of text.
Look for the most relevant paragraphs given the search terms.
Highlight those paragraphs in the preview window.

Similar features are available: On Ask, Ujiko, Nexplore and Viewzi, you get a thumbnail preview of the page in question. The Firefox addon Google Preview adds thumbnail previews to Google search results.
Duck Duck Go’s text based previews is an early release and currently works best for informational queries and on informational sites. Based on my test searches, [...]

W3C Validation not part of Google Search Engine Ranking Factor

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 12:07:09 +0000

Google’s Matt Cutts has announced that W3C Validation and clean coding does not factor into search engine rankings. There are other benefits to having a validated website, but there is nothing in Google’s algorithm that will increase search engine rankings.
By guest writer Brandon Leibowitz
There have been many arguments as to whether or not Google search engine ranking factors look for a clean code in a website.

The W3C Schools have brought forth a very popular and widely used tool, called the W3C Validation and the CSS Validation.
Basically, both these tools look at your HTML and CSS Style Sheet that code your website for any errors that may arise. This free tool will scan all of your code to make sure it is compliant with current web standards and free or any errors.
Recently Matt Cutts, Google software engineer, has said again that the W3C Validation does not affect search engine [...]
