Today, we are excited to announce that Google, Microsoft and Yahoo! are coming together in support of the SiteMaps protocol. The goal of this effort is to improve search results for customers around the world. This protocol enables site owners everywhere to tell search engines about the content on their site instead of having to rely solely on crawl algorithms to find it.

So, why are we excited to work on this? Because by agreeing on a standard, we can provide site owners with one simple way to share information with every search engine. You just publish a sitemap, and every engine is instantly able to read and use the data to more effectively index your site. Since this is a free, widely supported protocol, our hope is that this will foster an even broader community of developers building support for it.

Microsoft, Google, Yahoo! Unite to Support Sitemaps

ReviewMe - where you make money by writing reviews for cash has opened its doors today.

I have just signed up for an account to test drive it and so far it looks interesting.

Instead of searching for people to review my new product/website, this makes it more easy and hassle free.

Choose the category and the websites you want to review your product and send a request.

If you are a blogger, then the nice thing you dont have a format on how the review has to be.

Whatever and however you feel like writing, you can, as long as you finish it within the set time frame.

So far, it looks promising for both advertisers and active bloggers.

Advertisers can get the word out fast and bloggers get paid for what they do i.e. Blog :)

This by the way is an Advert for ReviewMe.

What you are waiting for, Check it out: ReviewMe

Reaction to a blog post in SEOmoz written by 2k

I am an Avid reader of SEOmoz blog for a long time and i am sure everyone else is.

I just opened by feedreader and was going through this post titled “The funny little thing called TRUST

Until i read the last para i found the post nicely written and an impressive one. But what ticked me off was this paragraph

PS. Wondering how I received the idea for this entry? A customer of mine said recently  “You know, I preferred your business since I didn’t trust those Indian guys that sent me proposals.”  Never bite the hand that feeds you, but just guess how many times have I heard “I just wish your business was from United States…”

i have bolded the line which is at the center of my blog post.

2k,

maybe you had issues with some indian guys, but isnt it stupid to place a negative trust factor on all of them???

How many times the Rest of the World has said ” I dont trust those (insert your country of choice) Guys. They  are arrogant and stupid and think they own the planet?”

want to know what is being talked in this part of the world?

“You know, i prefer your business since I dont Trust those (insert your country of choice) guys, they  are lazy, arrogant and dumb. ” Just guess how many times have i heard “I just wish those (insert your country of choice) learnt to be humble”

If you guys buckled up and did the job, why the F it needs to be outsourced here?

maybe you should change the blog title to

“the funny little thing called stupidity”
