Here’s why:
1. Rankings are constantly fluctuating. You might check rankings one minute, then check again a few minutes later and see different results.
2. Search results are sometimes geotargeted. The search engines know where you’re located by [...]
I thought I would take to posting the world golf rankings every now and then because a few people might be interested like me. I was amazed at just how many Aussies are in the top 50 at the moment.

It's time for our first rankings of the season for College Hoops. 1.(Tie) Memphis & KansasIt is still tough to tell who is the clear-cut number one. Both Memphis and KU are very similar in many ways. They both play the same type of game, fast paced and rely on their speed and athleticism. Both have some great wins with Memphis beating Georgetown, USC, Arizona, and Gonzaga and KU topping Arizona and USC. Memphis may have a few bigger wins but the Big XII schedule evens it out for Kansas. We may not know who is the "true" number one until one of these team loses or maybe not until they meet in the NCAA Tournament.3. North CarolinaI'll take UNC over Duke even though the Heels lost to Maryland and Duke beat them. UNC is still one of the best teams in the country with one of the best point guards in Tywon Lawson. We may know more a little more about the depth and toughness of this team after a tough stretch with games vs. Boston College, at Florida St., and a February 6 showdown with D

Closers are one of those positions you can get late in the draft. Some Fantasy Owners like to nab their closers early, but if you've listened to the Radio Show, Mock Draft play-by-play, or my pal Lenny Melnick, you know by now that you will screw your team by picking closers to early.

When considering a new website design it is quite common to focus on how to impress the sites prospective visitors with a whole lot of razamatazz, otherwise known as Flash. While it is important to make an impression with your sites design it will all be for nothing if no one actually visits it. By observing a number of simple rules it is possible to give your site a head start.Search engines love content, they lap it up. If your site has a lot of textual content this will play well with them. A common SEO mantra, to the point of derision is "content is king". The right content matters however. I mentioned Flash, it's a great tool for creating animated graphics and embedding video but unfortunately Search Engines can't read Flash files. To them flash is a ghost mixed up with all that living content. By all means include Flash but don't rely on an all Flash site to catch Googles eye. To Google it will appear as an empty URL. Including text in your site is a given but make sure your text

If you've been checking out this site for a while you know that I hate picking starting pitchers before the 8th or 9th round.

When putting together my Pre-Season rankings, I use many different tools to help me determine where certain players should go in my tier rankings.

These factors, after all the number [...]

Here's TSF's NBA Power Rankings as of 12/11. 1. San Antonio Spurs The Spurs have been impressive even without Tim Duncan. Manu Ginobli is looking to be the sixth man of the year as he scored 37 points twice in back to back wins over the Mavs and Jazz. The Spurs have been themselves lately, playing team basketball, winning, and holding opponents to 92.5 ppg, plus they're on a 5 game winning streak and have won 11 of their last 12.2. Boston CelticsThe Celtics have just about dominated in all of their games. It seems Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen are always on their games and even if one or two of them are off, they still have the 3rd. Also, I should mention those 3 are all in the top 35 for points in the league.3. Phoenix SunsThe Suns rank in the top 10 of the league in ppg (2), FG% (2), and spg (6). Steve Nash has been incredible once again with his 17.9 ppg and 12.3 apg. 4. Orlando Magic Dwight Howard has been a monster and good thing he's on my fantasy team; He's 10th in t

Fire up the Hot Stove it's time to talk free agency in the world of Major League Baseball! I'm going to give you a list of top free agents ranked accordingly plus a small blurb on my thoughts on the player and where I think they'll wind up.1. Alex Rodriguez - 3BWho else did you think was going to be first? Expect to see a really high number wherever he lands as A-Rod's price tag reportedly starts at 10 years, $350 million.Predicted Destination: Dodgers, Giants, Angels2. Jorge Posada - CSure he's old, but the market for catchers is EXTREMELY thin this year. Word on the street is that the Yankees are offering 4 years at 52 million to wrap him up before he can even talk to other teams. That seems like a lot of money and a long period of time, but with Arod gone how else are the Yanks gunna spend their $$?!Predicted Destination: Yankees 3. Torii Hunter - CFGreat on Defense and an underrated offensive player as well. He'd be a great addition to any team. If the Twins let Johan slip that wou
Japan has fallen further down the global rankings of equality between women and men, with long working hours and stubborn gender stereotypes seen as to blame.
Despite being the world's second-largest economy, Japan is well known for its "glass ceiling" for female workers, its male-dominated boardrooms and its long working hours which make it hard for women to balance a job and a family.
Japan ranked 91st out of 128 countries in the World Economic Forum's 2007 global gender gap ranking released Thursday, the worst of the Group of Eight major industrialized powers and down sharply from 80th the previous year.
Sweden came top in gender equality followed by other Nordic countries, while Pakistan, Chad and Yemen were at the bottom.
The Philippines fared best out of Asian nations in sixth place.
Japan ranked 94th in terms of political empowerment, with females accounting for only nine percent of lawmakers.
It came 97th in economic participation and opportunity, mainly due to low

A large part of my time at StepForth as a search engine optimization consultant is spent conducting competitor research on behalf of our clientele. This service is focused on deconstructing the marketing campaigns of each competitor while identifying the tactics that appear to have fundamentally contributed to their search engine success. As you might imagine I come across many intriguing techniques that work and many that don’t. In this article I will account for a couple of techniques that appear to be overlooked by many but have proven time and time again to work; the creation of an on-site glossary and frequently asked questions (FAQ) section.Create a GlossaryI imagine we have both shared one frustration with the Internet at one time or another and that is jargon… and too much of it.

Intellectually and technically incompetent; advertisement and money driven, it's an annual jokeThe ranking agency is yet to be determined, the methodology yet to be formulated, the parameters still to be decided - but the marketing team is already haunting a B-School management for advertisements like a swarm of irritating mosquitoes. Be it business magazines or financial newspapers or news weeklies - it is a cool way to earn a few extra bucks - the annual B-School rankings. Magazines and newspapers apart, some ranking agencies have also floated websites to attract advertisements and earn as well while they “unbiasedly” rank the same B-Schools!!! The ranking agencies (often one man shows existing solely to rank B-Schools annually) don’t have any competence or intellect to even determine criteria to rank B-Schools. Most of them go pathetically wrong even while trying to do quantitative pre poll predictions but are all boasting of accurate (though mostly qualitative and perception

The wonderful thing about Wordpress community is, whatever ideas you can think of, there’s plugin for it. Few months ago I was thinking, how about including http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect? before all hyperlinks. This will definitely boost the Alexa ranking, because before content reaches destination, they are sent to Alexa to create awareness. Today, reading from an entry written by Everton of ConnectedInternet, I found a plugin that allows you to do so. This plugin add http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect? automatically to all internal links within your blog. Here’s the authors description on the plugin. Is this a good idea? I certainly don’t think so. Although this sounds really promising on boosting Alexa, but will this affects google indexing? How will Google treat links that starts with redirect.alexa.com? I’ll leave the question to you. Also, by doing that, I assume Alexa will be your direct referral source on links, this can potentially screwed the accuracy of your s

Nielsen/Netratings, a benchmark online audience measurement firm, this week unveiled a new metrics system, which will replace its prior ranking systems. This move could result in some popular online destinations receiving lower rankings.
Instead of measuring traditional page views, Nielsen/Netratings will now measure total time spent on a website. Even though Nielsen/Netratings does already measure average time spent and average visits per visitor, it will place more emphasis on total time spent. “It is not that page views are irrelevant now, but they are a less accurate gauge of total site traffic and engagement,” said Scott Ross, director of product marketing at Nielsen/NetRatings. This makes complete sense.
I have already posted about how measuring value is one way we can use to measure online success. This extends to measuring how users are engaging with brands online, and becomes especially true for websites that are built around Web 2.0 technologies and social media c

Now that we know who's in and who's out of the NBA Draft, here's an early pre-season College Hoops Top 10 poll for the 2007-2008 season.1. UNC Tar Heels- The top team for next season definitely has to be the Tar Heels. Tyler Hansbrough, Ty Lawson, and Wayne Ellington all return. They have everybody returning but Reyshawn Terry and Brandan Wright. Wright will be missed greatly but they still have a lot of fire power. Look for UNC to be in the Final Four and possibly that national championship game. 2. Memphis Tigers- The 2007-2008 squad will return 5 of their top 6, plus the additions of recruits Derrick Rose and Jeff Robinson will help a lot. Especially the addition of Rose, he should be able to come in right away and help fill in for the lone loss in Jeremy Hunt. After back to back Elite 8 finishes the past two seasons, Memphis finally has what it takes to get over the hump and into the Final Four. They were the lone team that wasn't affected by the draft deadline date. 3. Kansas
