Some blogs are living with trendy traffics. Specially, the news, jobs & result notification blogs.

If your blog is little bit old and you maintain a good frequency of update then you can easily drive traffic from Search Trends.

Articles related to the Trendy keywords are treated as realtime result, so google make a quick listing of the recently published articles of that subject on the web.

How to Identify a Popular Trend?

Just keep your eyes on the trend page for knowing the latest search trends, but all the trends listed on that page are not so popular.. Therefore, you can identify the most popular trend with its "Hotness".

We can measure the popularity of the trend keyword with its "Hotness rating".

There are Three Types of Hotness Ratings:
Volcanic:
This hotness shows that the Keyword is being searched most. Thousands and Thousands of People are searching for this Keyword on Google.
On fire:
This Hotness Keyword popularity is good but not like the Volcanic Hotness but still around 8K people may be searching with this keyword.
Spicy:
This hotness shows that the keyword is little bit popular and 3K+ people may be searching with this keyword.
Medium:
This hotness shows that 1K-2K people may be searching on this keyword.
Mild:
Few of hundreds of people are only searching for something with a trendy keyword.

These above hotness are arranged in Higher to Lower list, when listed over the Google Trend Page (http://www.google.com/trends).

I tried my Best to explain you the hotness Popularity, by comparing it with the number of people searching.

So, keep creating quality content on the trendy subject for reaching thousands of traffics.. Just keep in mind, with trends you can only gain traffic not readers, therefore always try to attract real readers with your well written quality contents.

Few Minutes ago, my Blogger Friend Sourish Nath, known for iPhone4Jailbreak.org has released this Screenshot of a "New Google Test" on its font and color theme showing on Search Result Pages.

Google's New Font and Color Theme.

Generally, Google Apps allows all organizations to create unlimited number of users. If you're the an existent free user of Google Apps then you might be experiencing almost unlimited number of user creation. But now Google is going to limit, and will not allow to create more than 10 users for new customers.

Right from May 10, any organization that will signs up for only Paid Google Apps for Business, will be allowed to create more than 10 users.

But if you are an existing free user of Google Apps then, this change will not effect you and you'll be not charge for the 10+ users, based on the limit in place when you joined it.

Back in 2010, internet giant Google was flooded with enormous amount of content of many low quality sites which gave low quality search results. The war of content creation among blogs have greatly effected the search engine.

For reducing the low quality contents from its search results, google has introduced Google Farmer (also named as Google Panda), a latest update of Google algorithm for displaying quality search results.

The name of the updates is Google Farmer because its work is very similar to the Farmers' work. As, farmers always try their best to keep their crops clean by removing dead crops, adding pesticides, etc, likewise Google's new algorithm works to keep its search result clean by removing the low quality contents.

In other word, we can say that its new algorithm update is to stop the "content farming" or reducing the ranks of the websites with loads of words that are relevant to what users are googling for, but have no good information. Although, the exact algorithm is not public.

This time, Google is Digging deep into your content of the page. It will also look after the sites where you have linked and who linked to you.

Almost every content hub sites are effected by panda. Here below are few of them...

Ezine Articles
Hub Pages
eHow, etc..

A long list of effected sites are there, but above mentioned sites are highly effected by this algorithm.

Some reasons why Panda may lower your blog rank:

Non Relevant Content:
The Content on your blog must be somehow related to your main blog topic. Stop creating the contents which may not interest your readers and can even confuse search engine to list you in a particular keyword result. Now Panda update is very much restricting these non-relevant content blogs.
Duplicate Content:
Never ever Copy others' content.. Search engine can easily find the duplicate contents leading a bad impression on your blog. The new update may even remove your blog from the search result, if it finds 30% duplicate content than that of your original content.
Poorly Written Content:
As i told, this time google is looking deep into your content quality. Therefore, low quality contents, wrong information, posts with lots of mistake are not tolerated. If it find any bad content, it will remove the blog from the result.
High Ads to Ratio:
Keep your blog clean! Highlight more on content than that of the advertisements. Don't flood your blog with ads.. one ad is sufficient.
Poorly Designed:
Keep your blog fast loading and reader friendly... Your design should highlight more on content- with readable fonts. Google's first preference is for those blog which are fast loading and reader friendly.

Last but not the least, keep a smooth frequency of daily or weekly updates, informing google that your blog has updated information.

Around three months a ago google launched fast flip hosted over the Google Labs. Fast Flip is acctually a fast browsing news pages option, where a user can quickly browse the many pages of the Popular news paper just like a real newspaper or magazine.

After getting a good feedbacks from the users of Google, it is now going to have a great move. More than three dozens of Publishers have joined Google Flip and they had already added around two dozens of the News over the Fast Flip.

They Officially wrote on their blog:
"two dozen publishers representing more than 50 newspapers, magazines, web outlets, news wires and TV and radio broadcasters. Some of the new sources include Tribune Co. newspapers such as the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune, McClatchy Company newspapers such as the Miami Herald and the Kansas City Star, the Huffington Post, Popular Science, Reuters, Public Radio International, POLITICO and U.S. News & World Report. Now you can use Fast Flip to engage with content from even more of your favorite news outlets in an innovative way, and continue to explore topics covered by a diverse group of sources. And, through the mobile version, you can flip through all these new articles on your Android-powered device or iPhone."

They are seeking for more other publishers to make it more bigger and they opened a feedback option for the Users for the improvement.

I think that this new product of Google will caputure a huge number of online users and it will also benefit the publishers with more impressions and audience.

Google recently added a features over its Webmaster Tools to check out your site speed for the better performance of your site. They have discussed on their forum about it :

"We bring data and statistics specifically applicable to your site. On Site Performance, you�ll find how fast your pages load, how they�ve fared over time, how your site�s load time compares to that of other sites, examples of specific pages and their actual page load times, and Page Speed suggestions that can help reduce user-perceived latency. Our goal is to bring you specific and actionable speed information backed by data, so stay tuned for more of this in the future."

What was your most fastest speed of searching? But i can tell you that like Google ie, no other search engine runs on browser can give you such a super fast searching results... When i first saw it, i thought it the Google Mobile Search but later i discovered that it is a version of web.

Things that this Google Search Feature:

No Advertisement on its top or sidebar. Totally Ads free!! Even Google Mobile Search too supports Ads on its results.
Faster than any other other search engine, compare to Bing, Yahoo, and their mobile version.
It shows Headlines links without description, which reduce the length of the search result.
Best Works for mobile, and dial up internet.

Simly go to www.google.com/ie and for faster google searching without advertisement.

You might have noticed that whenever Google launched its new product or a new version of its product, it provides a limited access to the users by providing only few invitation over your account if you have already got an invitation from the Google Team. Whenever they launched its product like Gmail, Orkut new version and Google Wave, it only gave out few amount of invitation to some limited members.
Google Invitation

If you see that thing deeply, they are indirectly giving access to everyone and mainly the Active Users. Google always have a good and innovative ideas roaming around its head... As, its product are of excellent quality for works as a result most of the web users are in need of its product.

Why they put forward the new user joining through invitation?
Its really an interesting topic on which everyone is discussing. Actually, if i ask you to give out 4-pens to some of your friends and you have more then 30-friends standing and out of these 30-friends only 5-friends are good in studies, then now whom are you going to give out the 4 extra pens..?? Probably you will be giving those pens to any the top 4 of those good friends who can make the value use of those pens.
The same way the Google Works, as it gives you limited invitation to invite your friends and naturally you will be choosing those of your friends who are active and can make a value use of it.

Google works like viral invitation and chooses out the 90 percent of active users.

How Google forms a viral Chains of users?
Hmmm... You are surely thinking of why i called it a viral invitation! Actually when you got invited from Google you got around limited invitation for example. New Orkut Version is providing only 4-invitation and you send out the all four invitation to your friends and they too got the same four invitation each. They again send the four invitation , this way the invitation goes on... If you calculate then you will find : 4x4=16 again 16x4=64... Can you believe that from your chain, you indirectly invited sixty four friends.

So, anyway i hope you got the idea why Google always choose the path of limited before its product is exposed on the public.

The vice president of Google Search Product & user experience- Marissa Meyer has recently announced that Google will be permanently adding a sidebar to its search pages.

A huge number of small blogs are taking the benefits of their lucky invitation by the Google Wave team. "After the invitation of 1,00,000 users to the Google Wave. Hugely benefited some intelligent users. Since users are invited selectively by the Google Wave Team, it became a grand opportunity for them to make value use of it." -Unofficial Google Tasks Blog wrote.

According to my note, a huge number of sites and blogs are scamming with the Google Wave. They are promising for the invitation to the Google Wave and asking you to do something for their blog which are traffic generation like tweeting the Message of their blog along with the link, social bookmarking, sharing over facebook, telling your friends and commenting or writing article on their blog.

And some sites are started to selling the Google Wave invitation and earning a good amount of Dollars from it and some are spreading malware in the name of getting free invitation for Google Wave account.

So, be aware of these kind of activities. I think Google will make it open to the User within few time of a month. -Arijit

PRCkecker site is considered as the web's best Pagerank Checker (according to the search engine of Google.) So, i use this site to check the page rank of a site but their implementation of the Verification code made it more lengthy and boring. Sometimes they shows error while loading and sometimes takes a huge time in loading.sometimes it shows the error after a long process if the verification code is not typed properly.

I am really not happy with such an implementation of the site security. But i still didn't understand why these security code is needed for such checking tool site.
