Search Engine Watch blog reports ask jeeves adding cache dates to sites cache in their results, This is a bold improvement, Yahoo and MSN still didnt bring this facility, Hope they will follow soon,
Google is the first search engine to introduce option,
Google talk, google's mservice now offers open generation a new way to communicate with your friends using different IDs, https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2006/01/open-federation-for-google-talk.html
As google says you are allowed to interact with users with any ID, on the help page "We currently support open federation with any service provider that supports the industry standard XMPP protocol. This includes Earthlink, Gizmo Project, Tiscali, Netease, Chikka, MediaRing, and thousands of other ISPs, universities, corporations and individual users. " What google says
"We've just announced open federation for the Google Talk service. What does that mean, you might be wondering. No, it has nothing to do with Star Trek. "Open federation" is technical jargon for when people on different services can talk to each other. For example, email is a federated system. You might have a .edu address and I have a Gmail address, but you and I can still exchange email. The same for the phone: there's nothing that prevents Cingular users from talking to Sprint users."
Lots of blogs are monitoring the ongoing SEO contest, Some blogs report MSN is showing weird behavior for the search http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=V7ndotcom+elursrebmem&FORM=QBRE , First many thought MSN is filtering out results for this keywords, Now it revealed its not the case, MSN search looks brilliant than what we think of, It seems msn search first trys to understand the meaning of the words, Later if it cant find the words in dictionary, it adds the words to adult search keywords,

We reported in our previous posting that million dollar homepage is suffering from ddos attack, Now they are back online, this is what Alex says in his blog
"I can confirm that MillionDollarHomepage.com has been subjected to a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack by malicious hackers who have caused the site to be extremely slow loading or completely unavailable since last Thursday, 12th January 2006. I can also confirm that a demand for a substantial amount of money was made which makes this a criminal act of extorsion. The FBI are investigating and I'm currently working closely with my hosting company, Sitelutions, to bring the site back online as soon as possible. More news soon. "
The Million Dollar Homepage which has been reported to run for 5 years is now down for a considerably long time, Most reports say the site was down because of a major DDOS ( distributed denial of service ) attack against the site,
Infoworld reports "The wildly successful pixel-powered Web page of a British university student is coming under increasingly intense DDOS (distributed denial of service) attacks trying to knock down the profitable brainstorm The site is hosted on a server in Ashburn, Virginia, in a data center run by Equinix, where InfoRelay has much of its hardware, Weiss said. The high bandwidth use didn't cause problems for InfoRelay, as the company has a multigigabit network and provides bandwidth for a major search engine, Weiss said. But The Million Dollar HomePage attracted malicious attention, coming under DDOS fire late Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning, he said. Officials from InfoRelay met to figure out what they could do to stem the attacks within the constraints of Tew's service package, Weiss said. Tew wasn't on an enterprise-level deal that often includes advanced hardware, from vendors such as Cisco Systems (Profile, Products, Articles), used to prevent the effects of DDOS attacks, Weiss said. Administrators implemented several proprietary internal techniques to slow and alleviate the effects, he said. "We sort of volunteered our time to do what we could," Weiss said.
The attacks are coming from computers worldwide, including the U.S., Europe and Asia, Weiss said. The attacks could be the work of a botnet -- a network of computers illegally commandeered for sending spam and DDOS attacks. " Sitelutions.com their webhost says the site was burning 200 megabits per second of internet bandwidth ( Oops ) "We are honored that Alex selected us to host his site. With so much worldwide coverage, Alex needed a host that could support [the site’s intense bandwidth requirements,” said Paul Singh, Assistant Director of Operations at InfoRelay Online Systems, Inc. Sitelutions has hosted The Million Dollar Homepage since September, 23, 2005. At that time, Mr. Tew’s site had grossed approximately $108,000. Since Sitelutions has hosted the site, Mr. Tew’s site has received up to 16 million hits per day, 500,000 unique visitors per day, and has utilized up to 200 megabits per second of Internet bandwidth." So when will the site be online?
We got a link exchange request from a new seo company, when we checked their site we saw something very funny, the testimonial which is listed on everypage of their site is totally fake,

Our website, www.xyz.com moved from virtually no page ranking and listing on the search engines to being in the top ten in many of our most important keywords. Daily traffic to the site has increased eightfold in just a few months. My experience with Guide SEO has been exceptional. I highly recommend the group." Salmon.Mc Donald, President, e-learn, inc. optimized xyz.com>?? look at that, xyz consulting owns xyz.com and they dont do any seo,

He came out with one of the greatest concepts in the history of internet, He has featured BBC, CNN and other top news sites,
In SEO its all about natural linking and doing something unique to make people link to, Alex did this and we hope some else does something more interesting, we are willing to hear from our readers any good suggestions which can bring in lot of natural links, Care to share??????
3 way linking is not a great strategy, We at SEG dont endorse 3 way link exchange, It is not an healthy way to gain links, Most of the 3 way link exchange requests we get, we see people proposing back link from some spam directory and we have to give link from the main legitimate site, that is pretty unfair,
Plus if doesnt work properly, We recommend no one should do 3 way linkings,
Yahoo site explorer is a tool which helps to search a sites backlinks, pages links in yahoo search etc, It gives the data in a more simple form than the normal search, Also it is very quick and is very helpful for major research,
The export feature of yahoo's site explorer is very helpful in search engine optimization, you can do a linkdomain: search and just export all the data to an excel sheet, Yahoo's approach is just opposite to google's approach, Google just dont show proper backlinks for a site, Also their arrangement of site: search is not logical atall, apart from homepage they dont arrange all other pages properly,
Yahoo site: arrangement is more logical, it is based on the quality of each and every page listed algorithmically, Hope continues this great service for a longer time,
