BUT REMEMBER according to Gmail Support

Gmail Labs is a testing ground for experimental features that aren’t quite ready for primetime.

Webmaster and content started optimizing their respective sites using SE in the mid-1990s, as the first search engines were cataloging the early web. At First Webmaster needed to do was to submit url to the various engines which would send a spider to “crawl” that page, extract links to other pages from it, and return information found on the page, The process involves a search engine spider downloading a page and storing it on the search engine’s own server, Secondly to this is known as an Indexer (icharged in indexing a website)It extracts varies by information on the page, such as keywords contains and where these located, like any weight for the specific words, and any league the page contains, which are then placed in a planner to be involved thereafter

Site owners/Webmaster started to recognize the value of having their sites highly ranked and visible in search engine results, creating an opportunity for both White hat and Black hat SEO practitioners. Danny Sulivan the earliest known use of the phrase search engine optimization and use spam message.

The early versions of the algorithms of trusted webmaster-provided the information as the keywords, tMeta Tittles, Meta Description and other or index files in engines like ALIWEB! The labels provides a guide to the content of each page. But using goal data to put in an index the pages was found to be less than reliable because the option of webmaster’s choice of keywords in the meta tag could potentially be an inaccurate representation of the site’s actual content and could be potentially be inexact representation of the real content of the site and opposites in labels and made the pages align for the inapplicable searches. Web content providers also manipulated a number of attributes within the HTML source of a page in an attempt to rank well in search engines.

By relying so much on factors exclusively within a webmaster’s control, early search engines suffered from abuse and ranking manipulation. To provide better results to their users, search engines had to adapt to ensure their results pages showed the most relevant search results, rather than unrelated pages stuffed with numerous keywords by unscrupulous webmasters. Since the success and popularity of a search engine is determined by its ability to produce the most relevant results to any given search, allowing those results to be false would turn users to find other search sources. Search engines responded by developing more complex ranking algorithms, taking into account additional factors that were more difficult for webmasters to manipulate.

By 2007, search engines had incorporated a wide range of undisclosed factors in their ranking algorithms to reduce the impact of link manipulation. Google says it ranks sites using more than 200 different signals.The three leading search engines, Google, Yahoo and Microsoft’s Live Seacrh do not disclose the algorithms they use to rank pages, During year of Millenium SEO continue to its goal of everybody’s success both site owner and reader.

Search engine optimisation, although an apparent mystery to many – is in fact purely about following set rules and backing them up with hard work.

Official Statement From GMA!

Francis Magalona succumbs to cancer, he was 44
Master rapper Francis Magalona, 44, passed away Friday.
On in March 6, 2009, it was reported that Francis Magalona died at 12:00 noon that day, due to acute myelogenous leukemia.

Master Rapper succumbed to acute myelogenous leukemia at 12:00 noon that day, a few days after his fourth Chemotherapy and a few days before his supposed Stem Cell transplant.. The announcement was first made on the variety show Eat Bulaga, of which Magalona had been a host, after which a short tribute to the artist was aired. A minute of prayer was also observed in remembrance of Mr. Magalona in the noontime TV show Wowwowwee with host Willie Revillame leading the prayer.

Vic Sotto confirmed the news over GMA’s noontime show Eat Bulaga and asked for a minute of prayer for the eternal repose of the singer-composer’s soul.

Magalona’s battle with leukemia was made public last year. In a public statement last April 14, he admitted he was battling with the malady.

A blood drive was subsequently announced for the singer.

The 44-year-old singer-composer told the Philippine Entertainment Portal last December 2008 that he survived a delicate medical condition days before he was dispatched from a hospital.

“Akala ko kasi magki-Christmas ako sa ospital, e, [I thought I would spend Christmas in the hospital] because I had a very, very, very close brush with death last December 4. I went into septic shock and it was a very scary moment,” he said in an earlier interview.

It was announced last year that Magalona was scheduled for a bone marrow transplant.

“My doctor said I’m in remission right now after my third chemo cycle. So, my next move would be to do the bone marrow transplant and I’m very happy to announce that I was able to find a match. One of my sisters from the States we have the same tissue typing so she would be my donor,” he added. – Amita O. Legaspi and Mark Joseph Ubalde, GMANews.TV.

I just hope Slumdog sweeps the awards again. The movie is much better than other, Mumbai is a good example of misery and sadness topped with hope and joy.
