This interim response is used to inform the client that the initial part of the request has been received and has not yet been rejected by the server. 101 Switching ProtocolsThe server understands and is willing to comply with the client's request, via the Upgrade message header field (section 14.42), for a change in the application protocol being used on this connection
200 OKThe request has succeeded. The information returned with the response is dependent on the method used in the request GET an entity corresponding to the requested resource is sent in the response; HEAD the entity-header fields corresponding to the requested resource are sent in the response without any message-body; POST an entity describing or containing the result of the action; TRACE an entity containing the request message as received by the end server. 201 CreatedThe request has been fulfilled and resulted in a new resource being created. 202 AcceptedThe request has been accepted for processing, but the processing has not been completed. 203 Non-Authoritative InformationThe returned metainformation in the entity-header is not the definitive set as available from the origin server, but is gathered from a local or a third-party copy. 204 No ContentThe server has fulfilled the request but does not need to return an entity-body, and might want to return updated metainformation.
205 Reset ContentThe server has fulfilled the request and the user agent SHOULD reset the document view which caused the request to be sent. 206 Partial ContentThe server has fulfilled the partial GET request for the resource. 300 Multiple ChoicesThe requested resource corresponds to any one of a set of representations, each with its own specific location, and agent- driven negotiation information (section 12) is being provided so that the user (or user agent) can select a preferred representation and redirect its request to that location. 301 Moved PermanentlyThe requested resource has been assigned a new permanent URI and any future references to this resource SHOULD use one of the returned URIs. 302 FoundThe requested resource resides temporarily under a different URI. Since the redirection might be altered on occasion, the client SHOULD continue to use the Request-URI for future requests. 303 See OtherThe response to the request can be found under a different URI and SHOULD be retrieved using a GET method on that resource. 304 Not ModifiedIf the client has performed a conditional GET request and access is allowed, but the document has not been modified, the server SHOULD respond with this status code. 305 Use ProxyThe requested resource MUST be accessed through the proxy given by the Location field. 306 (Unused)The 306 status code was used in a previous version of the specification, is no longer used, and the code is reserved. 307 Temporary RedirectThe requested resource resides temporarily under a different URI. Since the redirection MAY be altered on occasion, the client SHOULD continue to use the Request-URI for future requests. 400 Bad RequestThe request could not be understood by the server due to malformed syntax. The client SHOULD NOT repeat the request without modifications. 401 UnauthorizedThe request requires user authentication. 402 Payment Required403 ForbiddenThe server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. 404 Not FoundThe server has not found anything matching the Request-URI.

The client MAY repeat the request without modifications at any later time. 409 ConflictThe request could not be completed due to a conflict with the current state of the resource. 410 GoneThe requested resource is no longer available at the server and no forwarding address is known. 411 Length RequiredThe server refuses to accept the request without a defined Content- Length. 412 Precondition FailedThe precondition given in one or more of the request-header fields evaluated to false when it was tested on the server. 413 Request Entity Too LargeThe server is refusing to process a request because the request entity is larger than the server is willing or able to process. The server MAY close the connection to prevent the client from continuing the request. 414 Request-URI Too LongThe server is refusing to service the request because the Request-URI is longer than the server is willing to interpret. 415 Unsupported Media TypeThe server is refusing to service the request because the entity of the request is in a format not supported by the requested resource for the requested method. 416 Requested Range Not SatisfiableA server SHOULD return a response with this status code if a request included a Range request-header field (section 14.35), and none of the range-specifier values in this field overlap the current extent of the selected resource, and the request did not include an If-Range request-header field. 417 Expectation FailedThe expectation given in an Expect request-header field (see section 14.20) could not be met by this server, or, if the server is a proxy, the server has unambiguous evidence that the request could not be met by the next-hop server. 500 Internal Server ErrorThe server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request. 10.5.2501 Not ImplementedThe server does not support the functionality required to fulfill the request. This is the appropriate response when the server does not recognize the request method and is not capable of supporting it for any resource. 502 Bad GatewayThe server, while acting as a gateway or proxy, received an invalid response from the upstream server it accessed in attempting to fulfill the request. 503 Service Unavailable The server is currently unable to handle the request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server.
504 Gateway Timeout The server, while acting as a gateway or proxy, did not receive a timely response from the upstream server specified by the URI (e.g. HTTP, FTP, LDAP) or some other auxiliary server (e.g. DNS) it needed to access in attempting to complete the request. 505 HTTP Version Not SupportedThe server does not support, or refuses to support, the HTTP protocol version that was used in the request message. SEO Blog Team,
Lots of people in SEO industry are still worried about having keywords in their domain names, So are they worth having it, NO, In our opinion best domain name is a domain name good for the users, Usually keyword domain names ar hypenated and they dont have good value from users, These days search engines place so little value on keywords in domain names it is just a negligible factor,
There are more important factors than just keywords in domain name, Keywords in domain name help if you are spammer, Say if a spammer wants to do automated blog comment spam and guest book spam he might not always get the backlinks with the anchor text he expected, that time if the keyword is in domain name search engines give value to them,
For legitimate search engine optimization keyword hypenated domain names are a waste of time and effort, Best we recommend select a domain name best your brand and business, Keyword domains are a thing of the past dont worry about keyword rich domain names unless you are spammer who want to spam search engines, We hate spam and we hate people who do that, SEO BLog Team,

Site map is a term coined and used for a site to show a list of important pages of a site, To avoid the homepage or any other page look cluttered sitemaps are created and connected to an important page of the site, Mostly it is connected to the homepage of a site,
There has been various debates across various forums whether a sitemap is essential for a site, As an opinion of search engine genie we suggest adding a site map to your site, Site maps help in various ways both for visiting search engines and regular visitors, Some benefits of sitemaps on a site, 1.

For large sites it is difficult to navigate deeper and deeper, A good sitemap prevents this and users can navigate to any page without getting lost, Also most of the inner pages will come more closer to the homepage and this helps effectively in good navigation,
3. Not all search engine crawlers crawl a site deeper and deeper, Some crawlers like yahoo slurp tend to go into a site only to a certain extent, For crawlers like slurp pages shouldnt be buried deeper, A sitemap will combat this problem, When a site map is used pages will come closer to top level and this help yahoo's crawler slurp to reach inner pages too, 4. Also suppose if a site has javascript menus, DHTM menus and other menus that are not search engine friendly a sitemap will definitely help in better crawling of a site, A sitemap with text only links to inner pages is very much useful, 5.

Google Inc the ultimate search engine company has offered to host wikepedia one of the largest human edited encyclopedia on the internet, It seems the board of directors of wikemedia are discussing this offer,
wikemedia says, Google Inc. have made a proposal to host some of the content of the Wikimedia projects. The terms of the offer are currently being discussed by the board. The developer committee have been informed of some of the details via email. A private IRC meeting with Google is planned for March, 2005.An interesting replies well to this offer from google in slashdot.org, "I fear that authors/editors would withdraw from Wikipedia if it were under the arm (or in the iron-fist) of a for-profit company. If these people felt like Google was profiting on the backs of their freely-contributed content, these content creators would leave and the Wiki would whither for lack of fresh/updated content. Donating time so that other may profit does not seem likely. What is interesting is that Amazon makes this work. The company is clearly a for-profit entity. Yet its crown jewels are the volunteer-created book reviews. I'm not sure what makes this work. It might be that friends-of-authors are motivated to post glowing reviews, it might be that people who disliked the book are motivated to post scathing reviews, it might be that some reviewers simply like to publish, or all of the above. Perhaps Wiki/Google-pedia could borrow this model to mix free-labor with for-profit. Looking further into the future on an alternate path, I wonder if Googlepedia could become a fully for-profit (or at least self-sufficient) professionally run and staffed encyclopedia. With micro-royalties to authors/editors (and moderation-based revocation of payments for "bad" content), the organization would attract content creators on a for-pay basis. This aligns the motivational underpinnings of the organization with those of the content creators. The current Wikipedia is for-free people creating for-free content. A future Googlepedia could by for-pay people creating for-pay content. One overriding lesson from Wikipedia (and Slashdot for that matter) is the ultimate necessity of sources of hard currency for online sites. As long as something is small (and below a certain scale of popularity) it can survive on donated hardware, bandwidth, or the benevolence of a monied patron (someone who pays the hosting bills out-of-pocket). But once it reaches a certain scale, the cost of serious server power, bandwidth, and professional administrators pushes the budget far beyond the hobby scale. Although pleas for donations can help, I suspect large-scale sites must, ultimately, turn to ads, tie-in product sales, and subscriptions. What is fascinating, in a long-term trend sense, is that the cost of scale are steadily declining. Cheaper hardware, declining bandwidth costs, and improvements in systems management tools mean that sites can reach ever-larger scales before generating prohibitive burn rates on costs. The number of visitors that a hobbyist/free-site can support continues to rise. Perhaps Wike need only wait for the singularity point when the cost to reach (and serve packets to) the entire world is within the reach of a home-grown, volunteer-run organization."
Meta description and meta keywords tags are used in olden days when the search engines didnt have crawler capabilites and cannot crawl a whole site, They used to read only those tags and evaluvate a sites ranking based on that, Later search engine spammers got aware of this tactic and started abusing these tags a lot, they just stuffed keywords in these tags,
Then crawler based search engines came into existance and they started seeing much more on a site than just just meta tags, they say onpage factors including alt tags, visible text on the page etc, Slowly the use of meta tags by search engines have become lesser, But not all top search engines completely dropped using these days, Various top search engines use various meta tags for different reasons, Yahoo uses meta description tag as part of their ranking algorithm, they see the keywords in that and use it with all the other factors of a site, similiarly MSN uses meta description tag in their ranking algorithm, We have proved the above in our tests across these search engines, Also we have proved yahoo and MSN doesnt use the meta keywords tag, When it comes to google, NO they dont use meta description tags,
How we tested for google?? We made up some bizarre phrases and added them to the meta description tag, only our site has those phrases, so when we search for those phrases in search engines we dont see the result coming up so mostly google dont use the meta description tags in their algorithm, But google uses snippets of meta description, google indexes the tag and during query time if the relevant words are present in the meta tags they just fetch it and display it, So it never hurts to add the relavant phrases to the page in the description tag, Keywords tag is completely ignored so we can just forget it, SEO Blog Team,

As regular visitors to this blog has noticed we have a comprehensive list of pagerank 10 sites, these page rank 10 sites / pages were found digging down deep into search engine results using lots of pagerank software including seochat's pagerank search tool,
Search engines dont penalize a site based on link exchanges alone, link exchange itself is nothing wrong, reciprocal linking has been around long before the origin of pagerank a google's technology based on links, and it often makes sense organically,
links are the building block of the web, though search engines dont penalize sites which exchanges links with legitimate sites they are known to frown upon sites using link exchange softwares, link exchange softwares highly disturbing to website owners and webmasters,
Also if we link to bad neighbourhoods too much there might be some sort of hidden filter that will play on the site and possible penalize them, So it is save to say link exchanges are not bad but doing them in too much aggressive way does cause some problems, SEO Blog team,
spammers are getting their share, Microsoft and pfizer are after some companies who spam selling bogus and fake drugs, news here,
According to some industry estimates, one out of every four pieces of e-mail spam are advertisements for fake Viagra or similar drugs. The lawsuits specifically target what Microsoft and Pfizer characterize as "international spam rings," run by the companies or individuals behind the Web sites cndpharmacy.com and myepharmacydirect.com, Ezydrugstore.com and others. Additionally, Viagra maker Pfizer took legal action alleging trademark violations against companies or individuals operating 10 Web sites with names such as www.viagrastories.com, www.cheapviagrastore.com and www.viagra.com.ua. A reporter's e-mails seeking comment sent to some of the companies involved in the suits went unanswered yesterday. One of them, cndpharmacy.com of Canada, apparently shut down within hours of the announcement of the lawsuits. technewsworld.com/story/news/40524.html
