These days i notice that each time i post a new question on Yahoo answers, I can find my question in approximately five minutes by running a Google web search . How can Google web include a new question on Yahoo answers so quick? What’s the technical secret behind it?
so quickly

In the early days of the www as we know it, how did Google take market share away from competitors like Yahoo!, Lycos, Web-crawler, Alta Vista, Netscape, Mamma, Ask Jeeves, etc etc. I’m sure there are several more. Seems that many offer several of the same hits – so how did Google emerge as leader?
Also are there any other search engines not as well heard of that offer any unique features as an alternative?

I have always wondered how websites like hulu, youtube, yahoo, google, etc made money because they don’t charge you when you are on their websites?

ok why do some people post stupidly easy questions on Yahoo answers…. for example i answered one questions today on the unemployment rates in different states… i just looked it up on google and poof there it was. now how come people dont get smart and use it more often? yes i agree that there are some questions that you cant look up… like life experience questions or opinion questions but for the statistical questions GO TO GOOGLE PLEASE you are wasting our time because we go to google and look them up for you… so anyone agree or disagree?

I must post more often, I must post more often, I must post more often, I must post more often, I must post more often, I must post more often, I must post more often, I must post more often,…. Gee I wish we had copy and past when they made me do that on the blackboard at school 
I have been working at a blog commenting plan that is starting to get me some traction so In a little while, after a few more comments I’ll return and fill in some details..
This is looking like a nice little earner tho so stay tuned!
There’s some big changes coming for the blog too.. New Theme, more focus on traffic generation as my overall mantra plus a back link building service which I am starting to offer next week..
Ok, I’ll be back (I can’t resist sorry: I’ll be back-linking)
Cheers

1. Understand Your Target Customer
If you design a website you think will attract clients, but you don’t really know who your customers are and what they want to buy, it is less likely that you will make much money. Websites are an extension or replacement for a standard storefront. You can send email to your existing clients and ask them to complete a survey or even have a suggestion/feedback box while they are browsing on your website.
- Ask them about their choices.
- If they like your products then why?
- Do you offer discount prices or coupons?
- Are your prices consistently lower than others?
- Is your shipping price cheaper?
- Do you respond faster to client questions?
- Are your product descriptions better?
- Are your return policies and guarantees better than your competitor’s?
- Ask your customer to complete a simple contact form with name, address, age, gender, etc. when they purchase a product. If you offer a free report or coupon as an incentive you’ll get a great response rate!
2. Don’t focus solely on the main page, keywords and titles
The first step to sales when customers visit your site should be to see the products they were looking for. Of course, search engine optimization and better rankings have great importance but never lose sight of the fact that they won’t keep your customer on your site or make them buy.
Once you have got the customer to your site, you must ensure that he gets interested in your products or services and stays around. Motivate him to buy the product by providing clear and unambiguous information.
If you happen to sell more than one product or service, provide all necessary information about each. By providing suitable and easily visible links, the customer can navigate to these pages and get the details easily.
3. Does your website provide clear contact information?
When you publish a website remember your customers can buy your products 24 hrs a day, also your customers may be from other states or countries that are thousands of miles away in different timezones. Always provide contact information, preferably on every page of your website, complete with mailing address, telephone number and an email address that reaches you quickly.
People may need to contact you about sales, general information or technical problems with your site. Also have your email forwarded to another email address if you do not check your website mail often.
I hope you appreciate these reminders of those important items we can so often overlook, remember we value each and every customer like gold!
Best
Andy
