Many SEO experts are interested in opting for firefox, for the simple reason SEO Quake plugin, but I was very slow firefox, so long I have chosen to Chrome, a browser safer than we can find today and I even venture to say that one of the most stable.

Then yesterday (boring) I began to review the features and plugins that Chrome and I found: Chrome SEO, among many other plugin that gives us information on the various websites we visit. Compared to SEO Quake (which is also for Chrome) is much more rapid, complete, stable and visually speaking, much more attractive, ultimately what matters to us is the data that we offer.

• Indexed Pages: It indicates the number of sites in which we indexed.
• BackLinks: links that point to the website.
• TrafficandRank: The amount of traffic the website receives and weight in the network.
• Bookmarks: Number of saved links from readers, like favorite system including all web browsers.
• Cached: Last cached version of the site
• On Site: It indicates whether there SEO work on the web.
• Domain Details: Details of server and domain.
• KeywordTool: Finding related words most commonly used Chrome future changes in SEO:
• Integration with Google SERPs. As SEOQuake or SEOBook Firefox extension.
• The ability to compare the statistics of the ranking of a website with a different one.
• Search Rankings.
• Analysis of keywords in the page
• Integrate the search keyword with Google Adwords, get the tool to do research faster.
• Integration PPC (Adwords, Adsense, Microsoft Adcenter, Yahoo Search Marketing)
• Better descriptions for any web designer / developers to work with the tool.
• Integration with Google Analytics Google Chrome SEO Toolbar
• Allow SEO Google Chrome Add-developers can contribute plugins.

The searches are the main strength of Google and Twitter is one area where searches can do more, so the California launch new services, in pilot phase at the moment called Follow Finder.

You know that on Fridays many Twitter users do the Follow Friday or # FF, where each user recommend to others so that their followers Follower or take note of who could follow, but if this method does not convince you, is when Follow Finder enters into game.

Simply enter your username, no password, and will show two columns with different results. The first one shows you the potential user to which you would like to Follow, while in the next column you must for users who have a likeness as the followers of their disposal.

Which was impossible is to continue the new user through the service, I get an error, though you can always sign up your name and complete the Follow the traditional way.

Although this service was available in its English version, Google has wanted to expand it to other domains of your property, so if you're a person who is quite influential in the network with your Twitter messages or conversations you have on Facebook, is likely to leave in search results of others.

Although for all of them, you must have a profile for free and unrestricted appear on the Google search engine. But here is not everything, but against more followers can be provided more relevant results, although the contents, as Dylan Casey, head of the department of real-time search will also be taken into account in the algorithm used.

The facility should be operational from midnight of the same March 19, so we will leave a box with real time results with the talks dealing with issues that interest us.

This seems to be the end of the history of Google vs China. Since those attacks, the situation has become tense as a possible solution and not hostile is beyond possibility, the output of Google's China is a real fact. Because of this, the attitude of the Californian company has been a total challenge to the Chinese authorities, as branded content as inappropriate by the government, is available through Google China. From Tuesday, content related to Tibet, Tiananmen Square and independence movements can be accessed by searching on Google, which would be impossible to see at another time. Even ultra-censored keywords as June 4 (phrase related to the massacre of students in Tiananmen) shows results related to those facts.

The images are displayed without censorship, perhaps the best known is the man who stands before a group of tanks. That picture has gone around the world today can be seen in China through Google.

In this regard, representatives have said that Google search has nothing to do with the removal of the filter information, which I doubt it's true. With a lose-lose situation and with his last days in China, Google has nothing to lose with this defiant attitude in the Asian nation.

Go to the Mountain View not satisfied only with being a very well-known search engine on the net, but apparently also wants to venture into the small screen, yes, yes as you listen, on TV.

Not that from now begin making products by hand (though not surprise me), but apparently the company had signed a collaboration agreement with the company Dish Network, which has a TV service satellite which has a market share of 14 million users in the U.S.

Well, in that agreement, which, moreover, has been neither affirmed nor denied by Google, Dish Network decoders are installed and the Android operating system could do with a keyboard Busca offer television and video over the Internet, such as Youtube which is also owned by the giant California.

And how Google would benefit from this offer? for integrating its Google TV Ads advertising, giving each family an advertising "customized" depending on the searches made.

It appears that service is already being tested since last year via some employees from Google.

The Chinese government seems to be cooperating a bit more on the political-novel attacks triggered by Google in China. If Google shows strong evidence that Chinese hackers were indeed those behind the riots, these people will be severely punished.

Miao Wei, Vice Minister of Industry and Information Technology has made clear the situation with his statements.

If Google has had evidence that the attacks came from China, the Chinese government opens the doors to provide information and severely punish the offenders according to law.

Although the position is categorically denying any connection with the attacks, the government of China seems willing to do acts of good will, but perhaps this is a way to relieve pressure after details were reported, for example, that computers two educational institutions have been the means to attack Google and other companies based in the United States.

While this situation is somewhat complicated by the time you know that Google has filed a formal complaint to China with this action, which could be a sign that the parties involved are working to reach a peaceful and least scandalous possible.

In my opinion, the Chinese have come to say what every government with common sense would do, resort to diplomacy and some bold words to give a cordial and cooperative.

More China to 'severely punish' Google attackers

During the February 12, until the 14th of the same month, China's top search engine, Baidu, was hacked, as the domain's DNS were changed, redirecting to a site where one could read a menssaje suggesting that the vulnerability was made by the Iranian army cyber. This group of security experts has successfully hacked other sites. Now they have given more insight into the whole mess happened and slowly begins to be laughably absurd, something worthy of appearing in a program of Ripley. More or less the story goes like this:

• The hacker (who posed as agents of Baidu) initiates a chat room with the support of register.com.
• The imposter calls to technical support, change the email address used as Baidu contact form.
Register.com • The employee claims that the alleged agent of Baidu, a security code to verify the legitimacy of their identity. As the hacker obviously had no access to that code, it sent the wrong one.
• The strangeness begins when the employee support has not verified the validity of the code and proceeds to change the contact, although information provided by the hacker is false.

From this point, the rest was easy for the attackers, as they were able to change the DNS and redirect search engine traffic. Something that is also absurd is that register.com person who was attending the event, did not suspect anything wrong, despite the change of the email was made from a cuenta@baidu.cn to antiwahabi2008@gmail.com . Such behavior is suspect miles.

After noticing these problems, Baidu's team tried to fix things, but the support was not entirely register.com friendly. Finally after a couple of hours, they could communicate with the domain registrant company, but it took 2 days to reset the DNS to the originals, resulting in a huge loss for the form.

The result of this problem is a lawsuit against Baidu register.com, and possibly discharge from medium, which still do not understand, and could do so much wrong in so little time.

Doing a bit of memory, remember that Microsoft and Yahoo have signed a deal in which it was agreed that Bing, the form of the Redmond company, it would supply Yahoo search for a period of 10 years. In return, Yahoo would provide the infrastructure and logistics in the sales department, in addition to receiving 88% of the profits during the first 5 years.

This announcement was made public last December (2009) and although many took from that time as a fact, the truth is that trade regulatory commissions were debating the feasibility of such an agreement. Both bodies of the European Union and the United States extensively studied the implications of the alliance Microsoft - Yahoo.

Finally today gave its approval to the agreement, so the authorities have given their award for this union to operate formally. This means that Google will have a rival who is not very powerful but still has interesting things since there are contributions from two technology companies recognized. How successful will this union?, Nobody knows, but intense competition is expected to try to approach Google.

Although Bing has good things, especially in terms of user experience, Google is still king, and not just by name and being the monster he is, but by the quality results that are more relevant compared to other search engines . Whatever happens, it's good to know that Google will not always be the only dominant in the field of search.

Qrobe is a kind of mashup, which combines the SERPs (search results pages of search engines) in a single interface, thus you can see the improved results, both Google and Bing (you can also activate the inclusion of results Ask.com search engine) as if it were a single search engine, making life easier for users. In Qrobe interface have included some features that enhance user experience, for example, for certain sites, if you move your mouse over a small box, a picture in miniature, which will tell us which site is first by clicking on the link. Sounds like something not too flashy, but for some public sector can be quite comfortable.

As for the paging and the use of AJAX, Qrobe has implemented an acceptable manner which brought Bing: for example, to reach the end of the page, it is necessary to update the window, as this is done automatically, thanks scroll to the infinite, ie, simply move the scroll bar to see more results.

Like any other search engine, you can set the location to get a more suitable to the place where inquiries are made.

Qrobe is not a new concept, however it is a good implementation that enriches the user experience by showing the best results according to the search engines used today. You can see interesting results, so it is advisable to try this mashup.

After everything that happened in China over Google, the Internet market of the Asian giant began to move, and certainly a sector that was introduced significant changes to the searches. While Google is the dominant sector in China, does have influence, whether for good or ill, so it's not surprising that Baidu has received attention in recent weeks. For being the No. 1 search engine in China. After Google to stop censoring their results, we began to hear rumors that the California company closed its offices in Beijing. Directly or indirectly Baidu is expected to benefit from this since it would be able to further increase its market share (currently owns approximately 61%), removing the only competition that might offer some resistance.

In the meantime the Chinese search engine has started the year with the right foot: in the first quarter of 2010 has increased its sales forecasts, and is predicted to have an income between 176 and $ 178 million, representing an increase of between 48% and 52% in income that is measured each year.

It will be interesting to see how Baidu takes google.cn users (approximately 31% of Internet users in China). You may have sufficient infrastructure to handle even the largest market of Internet users worldwide (roughly 380 million users) will not be easy. Perhaps there are so many expectations placed on the startup with headquarters in Beijing, which normally are exceeding forecasts.
