Great Ideas 

6 actions you can take to help you implement the great ideas

Get Aligned. Whether you are an individual or a part of an organization, there are goals and objectives in front of you. What are the most important things that you are trying to accomplish? Having a good idea isn’t enough. The idea must also be relevant and important to your goals. Ideas that don’t pass this first test should be set aside for later (or never).

Get Clarified. Ideas in their infancy are fun and exciting, but they are seldom complete or crystal clear. Before taking action on your ideas, make sure you truly understand what is meant by and involved in the idea and what results you expect. This step is especially important for ideas that will be implemented by a group, as not everyone will have the same clear picture of the idea until it is clarified.

Get Organized. If your idea has passed the first two tests, it is time to plan. Figure out the implementation steps. Think about the timeline. Put this idea into the larger scope of your efforts. Time spent in planning and organizing will always pay dividends.

Get Help. You may not be able to turn your idea into reality by yourself. Your planning should help you see where you might need other experience, insight or another pair of hands. This is true for teams as well. Think about what resources you will need and work on lining them up early on. When you do these things your idea will become real much more quickly.

Get Focused. Once you have decided which idea(s) to implement and have a plan, you have to make the time to make it happen! Getting focused means creating the space and time to turn the idea into reality. It has to move from the idea stage into action. Focus your energy on making that happen.

Get Over Them. You may have an idea (or many) that you love. Remember that there is a big difference between a good idea and the right idea. You may have many good ideas on your list. For some of them the time isn’t right. Some of them don’t aren’t important enough. Some won’t be completely aligned with your goals and objectives. That is ok. In order to implement our best ideas sometimes we must be willing to let go of, or at least defer some others. When you are willing to do this you improve your chances of implementing the others you have chosen.

Any one of these suggestions above will be helpful, but when you take them together they will help you as an individual with your own ideas and priorities; as a leader in sharing and prioritizing ideas; and as a team to decide what to work on and who should be involved.

In the end, as important as creativity and idea creation is, it requires action before any idea will have real value. These six ideas can help you take that all important next step on your ideas.

  • Indexing of Web Pages

    Today nearly 50% of the traffic is generated by the Google. This is a greatest revolution in the internet scenario. This revolution is done by two PhD researcher Lary Page & Sergey Brin & make Google a company on the international scene.

    Google becomes popular due to his algorithm which is made out by the two founders & also by making his presentation very simpler, because “the simplest things are sometimes most effective”.Google has a very simple interface, without doing any advertising & only concentrating only on services of searching & nothing else.

    In addition of these search results, Google also succeeded to indexing of large number of webpages approximatelt 2 billion of pages. Recently it also includes new type of documents like: Word, Excel, PDF files, PowerPoint slides, Worpad.

    The algorithm is based on two systems

    - a precise analysis of the contents of the indexed pages (keywords, occurrences, positions in the document, type of HTML tag, etc.)
    - a classification of the pages according to their popularity (PageRank), calculated from the topology of the Web (i.e. the whole structure of the documents and the links between them).

    The Effective Website Development is done by a team of specialist which can do an Effective Internet Marketing to get ranked in the Google & making indexes faster.

    AJAX for SEO

    Our development team has been playing around with AJAX Development on some of our web sites. Now, to help alleviate any confusion, in this context AJAX is di fferent from Ajax™ the cleaning product. Here, AJAX stands for “Asyncronous Javascript And XmlHTTPRequest”, which is a somewhat young web development technology that allows the construction of highly interactive websites that can help to reduce server load.

    Some of the more common uses of AJAX in websites include:

    • A product search box that retrieves matching products from the webserver as the customer is still typing in the box, generally updating a list in the page, allowing the customer to navigate directly to the product page, rather than loading the search results page first.
    • Retrieving customer product reviews from the server after the user clicks a link on the product page, then displaying those reviews in the same page. This saves on the bandwidth of sending all those reviews along with every request regardless of whether the user wants to read them. Then when the reviews are requested, the only data sent from the server, are the reviews themselves – the rest of the page layout doesn’t need to be retransmitted.
    • Fully interactive sites, such as Google’s maps, which give large amounts of control to the user, but retrieve all their data in small chunks, and rarely require full page reloads.

    If used incorrectly, AJAX techniques can actually hinder a search spider’s ability to find indexable information on web pages. AJAX’s problems lie in its powerful capability to use javascript to pull data from the server as needed. Unlike browsers, search engine spiders don’t speak javascript. As such, if the data isn’t in the page then the spider won’t index it. This means that if you are loading your product reviews using AJAX, then even though your customers will see “cool widget” in your page, searches for “cool widget” in the engines won’t lead to your pages, and you’ll lose in the SERPs.

    So, how can you use AJAX to offer your customers a more engrossing interactive experience, and not lose your vital search engine positions? Well, just like moderation can fit chocolate cake into your diet, so too can it allow your site to use AJAX. The key here is to relegate your AJAX tools to a more of a support role. Unfortunately, this means that using AJAX to load product reviews and other data you want spiders to index should generally be avoided. Fortunately, search spiders don’t use search boxes, and additional intelligence embedded into most product searches can provide a rewarding experience for your customers.
