Meta Tags Optimization





 There used to be a time when the contents of a pages Meta Tags was very important, it was around about the same time the Berlin Wall was still standing!! Today meta tags hold little value to Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
What Are Meta Tags? Way, way back when that wall was still upright search engine algorithms were so dumb they couldn’t work out what a page was about just from the content. So some bright spark had the ingenious idea to create a set of tags (meta tags) that inferred information about a pages content to the search engines.

Meta tags are lines of HTML code added into web pages that are utilized by search engines to bank information about your website. The standard Meta Tags are the keyword Meta Tag, the description Meta Tag, and the Title tag, which exist in approximately every web page. These Meta Tags, oftenly called as 'Tags', store meta data including keywords, keyphrases, descriptions, site author information, copyright information, site titles and other details. There are other important Meta Tags as well, which is why Meta tag optimization must be part of any web site optimization service. Meta Tags are among the several factors that the search engines look for, that any search engine optimization strategy needs to keep on top of.





Meta tags are incorporated in the 'HEAD' Tag of an HTML document. If you are using meta tags to Boost your Rankings in search engines, then you should concentrate on your description and keywords. Great idea, except there was nothing to stop a webmaster stuffing or spamming their Meta Tags with irrelevant, but very high traffic keywords and keyword phrases. Which of course they did with enthusiasm, you would find adult sites using words like Disney and Pokemon in their Keywords Meta Tag for the traffic!! Today the vast majority of meta tags are worthless and those that are still considered by search engines aren’t worth that much. For example Google confers no benefit from any meta tags, so if you expect a high Google ranking from perfectly optimised keywords in your meta tags, don’t hold your breath.



Which Meta Tags Should You Use?

For Google adding the Description Meta Tag won’t result in a boost in the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs), but the description might be used for the description for your SERP listings in Google. So though you won’t get a ranking boost, if your write an interesting Description Meta Tag and Google uses it (not guaranteed), you might get a higher click through rate compared to a random snippet of text from your pages. All other meta tags (including the Keywords Meta Tag) are either completely ignored or won’t result in a SERPs boost.

Yahoo says they use the Keyword Meta Tag when it ranks a page. So it makes sense to add one for Yahoo and any other minor search engines that still use. Also there are directories and other websites that automatically take this information to create a listing to your site. Don’t fret over it though, add the main phrase for that page to the Keywords Meta Tag and user friendly description of the page to the Description Meta Tag and forget about it.

Use the title tag and description tag to define what your page signifies. Search engines that use it will supply the content of title tag and description tag while displaying a list of links. For example, if you do a search on Google, you will find the description listed on the search results page.

The keywords tag :

Keywords help search engines to categorize your site, and allow people to find speedily your page. However, most search engines have limits as to how many Meta Keywords are viewed. It is suggested to review your keywords and ensure that they are concise and specific. Implementing these tags aptly is crucial to generate high rankings. The most significant aspect of meta-tags is that search engines pay a lot of importance to them and hence they have come to be widely accepted in the SEO process.

Meta tag optimization must be included as only a part of the overall SEO strategy. It is critical to first pay close attention to your website architecture and content strategy. If the search engine spiders cannot find your pages and your Meta tags do not support the content on the page, each Meta tag will be meaningless. “Most SEO Experts rank the page title as the most important element to optimize in order to build authority for the primary keyword on the page.”

Example Meta Tags :

Below you will find an example set of meta tags. This is for a page you want fully indexed in all search engines.


<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd”>
<HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>SEO Tutorial – Meta Tags Optimization</TITLE>
<meta name=”description” content=”Create the perfect meta tags for high search engine placement.”>
<meta name=”keywords” content=”Meta Tags Optimization”>
<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1?>
<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”../seo-gold.css” media=”all”>
</HEAD>
<body>

The DOCTYPE-

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd”>

Is the DOCTYPE, it’s not a meta tag and it’s not essential you add this to a page for good search engine placement, but if you want a page to validate in a HTML validator (i.e. http://validator.w3.org/) you’ll need to add the right one.

The TITLE-

<TITLE>SEO Tutorial – Meta Tags Optimization</TITLE>

Again this isn’t a meta tag, but it’s sometimes referred to as a meta tag by those who don’t fully understand meta tags. The title element is very, very important to a pages optimisation, which is why we have an entire page dedicated to Title Optimization. The title should include the most important phrase for that page and possibly one or two highly relevant keywords to create related phrases. The one above helps several important phrases including Meta Tags Optimization, Meta Tags, Meta Tags Tutorial, SEO Tutorial, SEO Meta Tags etc…. Don’t go over the top with adding lots of keywords, keep it short and sweet so each word gets a reasonable boost and don’t forget potential visitors (they have to read it).

The DESCRIPTION META TAG-

<meta name=”description” content=”Create the perfect meta tags for high search engine placement.”>

As covered earlier in Google the contents of the description meta tag will not have an impact on the pages search engine rankings, but may be used as the description in the search results. So be descriptive, think about what a potential visitor might click on not keyword stuffing.

The KEYWORDS META TAG-

<meta name=”keywords” content=”Meta Tags Optimization”>

Of no value to Google and probably little value to other major search engines. Easiest way to fill this meta tag is by pasting the same contents as the TITLE minus anything you added for visitors to read. In the example above we removed “SEO Tutorial – ” because that is there for visitors who read the TITLE element as part of a search engine listing.

The Character Set and links external files-

<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1?>
<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”../seo-gold.css” media=”all”>

Not meta tags and will have no impact on a pages search engine placement, the Character set is used by browsers so the right set of characters are used to display your page. Don’t add one and the browser will use its default (it will guess), this might mean your page doesn’t look right to a visitor. External style sheets (CSS files) and external javascript (JS files) are referenced here. Again no impact on SEO, but if you can push some javascript or markup off your page you should. It saves bandwidth and means your pages load faster.

Meta tag optimization MUST be included as part of any good search engine optimization services but if your SEO efforts end here don’t expect to get great rankings.

Dot Com Company



:

A company whose operations are entirely or primarily internet-based, or more specifically a company whose business model would not be possible if the internet did not exist. Dotcoms often deliver all their services over an internet interface, but products might be delivered through traditional channels as well. Dotcoms are often divided into two categories: those that provide products and services for consumers (B2C) and those that provide products and services to other businesses (B2B). In the late 1990s, Many Internet Business Companies started commonly known as dot-com companies. But out of many of them only few survived today and rest of the companies are closed or bankrupt nowadays.

What is Dot-Com Company?

Well, in simple words a Dot-com company is one whose main Business is on the Internet. They make its money/profits by doing an Online Business only. The Examples of Dot-com companies are Google, Yahoo, Amazon, eBay, Facebook, Orkut, Twitter and so on. The main purpose of these dot-com companies was to raise the capital from the venture capitalists, develop a successful web business, growing it exponentially high and later on exit from it by taking that dot-com company to the public.

A business, especially a publicly-traded company, that conducts most or all of its business over the Internet. Dot-coms may conduct business in one or more of the following areas: Content, Commerce, and Connection. Content companies provide information, either for free or for a charge, and earn most of their operating income from advertising. Commerce companies sell new and/or used goods directly over the Internet. Connection companies provide Internet services directly to customers.

How Internet Business Companies Make Money?

Well, Dot-com companies make money from 3 Cs, meaning:

- Commerce

- Content

- Connection

Commerce means selling products over the Internet such as Amazon.com, while Content means making money from the content starting from News Websites to Blogs. Content web business makes money from advertisement selling. Connection means doing a business by supplying connections such as AOL, one of the largest ISP (Internet Service Provider) in USA.

But unfortunately most of the dot-com companies failed even after literally millions of dollars of money infusion in them. Here is a List of some well-known failed Dot-com Companies.

List of well known Failed Dot-com Companies

- 360HipHop
- AmCy.com
- Boo.com
- Broadband Sports
- Cyberial Outpost
- CyberRebate
- DigiScents – tried to transmit smells over the Internet
- E-Loft.com – A pan European portal for university students
- Excite@Home
- Flooz.com
- Kozmo.com
- theGlobe.com
- Kibu.com – Online community for teen girls
- Pseudo.com – One of the first live streaming video websites
- Yadayada.com
- Zap.com

Therefore, all of the dot-com companies are just the few examples from whole list who have lost literally hundreds of millions of Venture Capitalists. Only those Internet Businesses survived in the Dot-com Bubble who have really added value to the life of the people around the world at mass scale such as Google & Amazon. Rest of the companies did not survive and some have failed even before the launch.

What is considered a Successful Internet Business?

Are you an Internet Business Owner? Then How will you tell whether it’s a successful Internet Business or not? Well, there are several criteria for this. And Financial criteria is one of them. Here are the few common criterias for successful internet business that every one of you knows.

- Web traffic
- Revenue of the Business
- Customer Base
- Google Page Rank
- Alexa Page Rank
- Back links
- Popularity

And many other such types of criterias are there. Now, according to me a true successful internet business is one which really adds value in the life of people at mass level.

Google, Amazon, Wikipedia sites & eBay are few examples of the Successful Internet Businesses. This is not because they are making millions and billions of dollars every year. But this is because they have added value in the life of literally millions of people. Can you imagine the internet without Google?

The Internet is full of online businesses of every kind. The competition for dot-com ventures is extremely high. Users can click from you to your competitor in seconds. Even getting noticed among the masses of other businesses online is a difficult task. Despite these challenges, it is possible to start a viable dot-com company. The barriers for entry are low and you have a great deal of control over your start-up costs. Focus on your business idea to develop a unique selling point that will allow you to stand out from the competition.

How to Start a Dot Com Company?

1    Research your business idea carefully. Develop a concise business plan based upon your research. Use this plan to guide you through your start-up process, adapting it as your business evolves. Carefully consider costs of your products or services and determine if your idea is viable as a revenue-producing enterprise.
    
2    Hire an accountant to assist you with the financial considerations of your business. File any necessary forms with your local, state and federal authorities. Set up a bookkeeping system and work with your accountant on a regular basis.

3    Hire a lawyer to guide you through the establishment of your business. Choose one with an expertise in Internet law, which is evolving regularly. Have your lawyer advise you on issues such as contracts, agreements and online privacy considerations.

4    Purchase a reliable computer. Use it to operate all aspects of your business. Ensure that you have a trustworthy back-up system for your files.

5    Acquire a high speed Internet connection. The rate of communication is ever increasing. Customer expectations are that you have the ability to respond quickly.

6    Hire a web developer to assist you in setting up an interactive e-commerce site. The website is your entire business when you're a dot-com company. It is your image and brand. Ensure that your site operates quickly and has a clear, user-friendly navigation system. Integrate the most current security into your website. Create an interactive community through a blog and forum. Feedback has come to be expected by online consumers. Communication with your customers is increasingly important to your success.

Dot-coms were hugely popular investments in the 1990s, with IPOs of hundreds of dollars per share, even if a company had never produced a profit and, in some cases, had never earned any revenue. This came from the theory that Internet companies needed to expand their customer bases as much as possible and thus corner the largest possible market share, even if this meant massive losses. While this worked for some dot-coms, notably Google, which did not produce a profit for its first several years of operation, the theory was unsustainable because, in a given industry, only one or two companies could corner large market shares, meaning most dot-coms were doomed to failure. This dot-com bubble burst in 2000.

Classes in Java


Classes in Java :

Java class is nothing but a template for object you are going to create or it’s a blue print by using this we create an object. In simple word we can say it’s a specification or a pattern which we define and every object we define will follow that pattern. In the object oriented approach, a class defines a set of properties (variables) and methods. Through methods certain functionality is achieved. Methods act upon the variables and generate different outputs corresponding  to the change in variables. A Java class is a group of Java methods and variables. Each Java source code file can contain one public class. The name of this public class must match the name of the Java source code file. If the public class is called “ballistics,” then the filename would be “ballistics.java.”



What does Java Class Consist?

When we create class in java the first step is keyword class and then name of the class or identifier we can say. Next is class body which starts with curly braces {} and between this all things related with that class means their property and method will come here.

Template is:

Class (name of the class) {

(Here define member of class)

}

Access level of class - Java class has mainly two type of access level:

Default - class objects are accessible only inside the package.

Public - class objects are accessible in code in any package.

Syntax of a Java Program :

package package_name;

//import necessary packages

import package_name.*;

Access Modifier class class_name{

member variables;
member methods;

public static void main(String[] args) {
    ...
    ....

    }

}


Objects in Java:

If we consider the real-world we can find many objects around us, Cars, Dogs, Humans, etc. All these objects have a state and behavior. If we consider a dog, then its state is - name, breed, color, and the behavior is - barking, wagging, running. If you compare the software object with a real world object, they have very similar characteristics. Software objects also have a state and behavior. A software object's state is stored in fields and behavior is shown via methods.
So in software development, methods operate on the internal state of an object and the object-to-object communication is done via methods.

A class can contain any of the following variable types.

  - Local variables: Variables defined inside methods, constructors or blocks are called local variables. The variable will be declared and initialized within the method and the variable will be destroyed when the method has completed.

  - Instance variables: Instance variables are variables within a class but outside any method. These variables are instantiated when the class is loaded. Instance variables can be accessed from inside any method, constructor or blocks of that particular class.

  - Class variables: Class variables are variables declared with in a class, outside any method, with the static keyword.
A class can have any number of methods to access the value of various kinds of methods.

What are members of Class?

When we create a class its totally incomplete without defining any member of this class same like we can understand one family is incomplete if they have no members.

  - Field: field is nothing but the property of the class or object which we are going to create .for example if we are creating a class called computer then they have property like model, mem_size, hd_size, os_type etc

  - Method: method is nothing but the operation that an object can perform it define the behavior of object how an object can interact with outside world .startMethod (), shutdownMethod ().

  - Access Level of members: Access level is nothing but where we can use that members of the class.
Each field and method has an access level:

    private: accessible only in this class
    package or default: accessible only in this package
    protected: accessible only in this package and in all subclasses of this class
    public: accessible everywhere this class is available

Real world example of Class in Java Programming :

In real world if we want to understand about the class everything of same quality  can be visualize as a class e.g. men,women,birds ,bicycles ,cars or  we can say vehicle .
The entire vehicle will make one class they have the property like no_of_wheels, color, model, brand etc.now we can think changeGear () and speedOfvehicle (), applyBreak () etc as a method on that class. Similarly all human being also can be one class now their member will be a men ,women ,child.,isAlive() ,isDeath() can be their method or behavior of that class .again we can make Men or women a separate class and define their property and method accordingly,
In short in java every problem we get solution can be think in terms of class and object.

One Java class example:

Class Stock {

Public commodity;
Public price;
Public void buy (int no_of commodity) {}
Public boolean sale () {}

}

In this example Stock is called Class and commodity, price are field and buy() and sale() are two methods defined inside class. To access elements of Class you need to create an instance of class Stock. You can create instance of Class using keyword new as shown below

Stock highBetaStock = new Stock();

For calling method of Stock just call by using instance.

highBetaStock.buy(1000);
highBetaStock.sell();

Summary:

In short in java everything must be thinking in terms of java class its nothing but a template they have their own members and methods for accessing those members. The entire member has their own visibility which is decided by the developer where they want to use those objects.

Android Phone Features


Android Phone Features :

Android is an open-platform operating system purchased by Google in 2005. Phones running on the Android operating system are extremely competitive in the smart phone market. The goal of Android's open-platform is to allow developers and manufacturers worldwide to collaborate without worrying about proprietary information, positioning them to innovate faster and more cheaply than ever before. We love both Android and iOS, but the open nature of Android just means it can do things others just can't. Here are some favorite Android apps and features that you won't find on its Apple-clad brethren. 




1. Alternate Keyboards :

From text predictors like Swiftkey to the innovative like Swype and the downright adventurous like 8pen, you have a lot of different keyboard choices on Android. Typing on a tiny phone keyboard isn't anyone's idea of fun, so it's great that Android provides so many options to make it as painless for people as possible, and super easy to install. The iPhone has other keyboards, but they're usually separate apps that require you to import text to another program—it's just the kind of system-level functionality that's hard to get around.



2. Automation :

One of the most powerful, useful Android apps around is Tasker, the automation program that lets you turn your phone into a superphone. You can turn settings on and off for certain applications, by location, time of day, and pretty much any other condition you can think of. With the right commands in place, Tasker can access the deepest and darkest settings on your phone, which is something you just can't do on other platforms. Be sure to also check out our second list of Tasker setups, three handy Tasker profiles from our readers, and how to roll your own "Find my iPhone" for Android. Similar apps like the battery-saving JuiceDefender would also fall into this category.

3. Custom Home Launchers :

While iPhone users can customize their home screen quite a bit if they've jailbroken, they don't allow the kind of customization that you can get on Android with custom home launchers. Third party launchers can add all sorts of extra features to the home screens of your device, like gestures, different kinds of shortucts, and even low-level settings that can help speed up an older phone. Whether you're using the super-fast LauncherPro or the insanely customizable ADWLauncher, third-party launchers add a ton of configuration to your device.

4. Widgets :

Sure, they take up a bit of space, but there's no substitute for the convenience of having a big weather widget right on your home screen, or a music widget to show you the currently playing track. Even more useful are the to-do list widgets, that take an "in your face" approach to productivity, which is not only effective but necessary from people, as they don't require you to actually look for your to-do list—they're always reminding you of what you need to do. If you've jailbroken, you can get widget-like apps for the iPhone, but you can only put them on your lock screen—not the actual home screens that you're always swiping through.


5. Removable Storage and Battery :

It isn't part of the Android software, necessarily, but Android's open nature allows for quite a few hardware advantages too—namely the ability to take out, swap, and upgrade your battery and SD card. If you find that you've maxed out the storage on your iPhone, you're pretty much out of luck, whereas with an Android phone you can pop in a new SD card and have gigabytes more storage to play with. Similarly, you can swap out a spare battery for longer trips or even get an extended battery that'll help your phone go longer without charging.




6. Wireless App Installation :

Browsing for and discovering new apps should be fun, not challenge to make it through a tiny app store with your sanity intact. The App Store and Cydia App Store aren't exactly fun to browse on your phone, but you either have to download apps on your phone or plug it into iTunes to sync them all over. With the new Android Market, or with third-party sites like AppBrain, you can find a cool app, hit the install button, and it'll be on your phone the next time you pick it up. It doesn't get much more convenient than that.

7. Custom ROMs :

While there are a lot of third-party apps that give you advanced features on Android, one of the coolest parts about the entire OS being open source is that people can take it, tweak it all over, and install their version instead of the one that comes with your phone. Whether it's the feature-filled CyanogenMod or the interface-overhauling MIUI ROM, there's little limit to how much you can tweak your Android experience. As with launchers, these give you a lot of system-level tweaks that you just wouldn't be able to get this easily on other platforms—and it puts them easily within users' reach. Whether it's tweaks that speed up your phone or features like FM radio, custom ROMs are without a doubt one of the biggest advantages to Android's openness around.

8. Controlling Your Phone From Your Computer :

This one's a little more out there, but we've featured quite a few apps that let you actually control your Android phone from your PC—whether you just want to send texts from Chrome or access any of its other functions right from a web browser. Yes, you can VNC into your iPhone, but it's not the same as using a separate app that accesses its baser functions.

9. Flash :
Say what you want about Flash, but it's everywhere you go, and when you're forced to view the web without it, you realize how much you actually rely on it day-to-day. Whether its accessing fully Flash web sites, watching Flash videos, or playing games like the ones on Kongregate, having Flash installed on your phone and tablet let you access a lot of things you otherwise couldn't have. We may grimace when we hear its name, but it's too prevalent to go without. It just feels like you don't have the whole web at your fingertips.

10. True App Integration :

Google Voice may finally be available for the iPhone, but the experience will never be the same as it is on Android. Other iPhone apps always direct you to the default dialer and visual voicemail apps, so even if you want to use Google Voice full time, you have to manually navigate it to yourself. On Android, apps like Google Voice integrate directly with the operating system—if you want to make calls with Google Voice, every call you make from the phone's dialer goes through Google Voice. When you click on a phone number in your browser or in Google Maps, it goes through Google Voice instead of sending you to the wrong dialer. True app integration like this makes using custom phone, SMS, voicemail, and even browser apps absolutely seamless on Android, which is something you won't find on the more locked-down iPhone platform.

11. Optimized Gaming :

In order to stay competitive with other smart phones on the market, Gingerbread supports the use of gyroscope, gravity, barometric sensors, linear acceleration and rotation vector which, in layman's terms, means that game developers can give users games with highly sensitive and responsive controls.

12. Voice Over IP Support :

If users have a third-party Internet calling account, they can set up their Android phone to use that account to call other people on SIP phone numbers (Internet phone numbers). Each cell phone network carrier can choose to allow the feature or not, but Android's 2.3 release supports the use of VoIP calling, meaning you can use your cell phone to call people for lower or free rates worldwide.

13. Refined User Interface :

Android 2.3 has simplified the user interface and color scheme to provide greater screen contrast and vividness to the notification bar. Menus have been made easier to navigate and settings easier to locate and change, with hopes that it will be easy for new users to learn quickly.

14. Front-Facing Camera :

Android phones can now use either a front or rear-facing camera, allowing developers to create applications involving video calling, a feature only available on iPhones as of January 2011. Cell phone manufacturers can start developing phones with two cameras knowing that application developers can create applications that are intelligent enough to choose the correct camera for their purposes.
