AllBusiness.com, Inc., a leading online resource for businesses, has announced the results of its 2007 year-end “SMB State of the Union Study” and SMB Barometer. The study found 74 percent of small and mid-size business (SMB) leaders list search engines as their top source for business information to help them run their company.

The study also found 63 percent of SMB leaders will be turning to search engines even more going into the New Year. While “word of mouth” is still a solid source of information at 71 percent, this marks the first time in the “SMB State of the Union” study history that search was cited as the top source.

Overall business sentiment among SMBs is positive

For the third straight year-end forecast, SMBs are generally optimistic about their business outlook for the coming year and say the falling value of the dollar is their most important economic concern. Other findings focused on SMB outlook included:

• 55 percent of small business leaders planned to hold a holiday party while
• 38 percent of small businesses did not. One recent survey of bigger businesses indicated that 85 percent of companies hosted a holiday party this year.

• 30 percent of small business leaders were planning on giving year-end bonuses and 33 percent were not.
• 60 percent of small business leaders are concerned about the falling value of the dollar while 23 percent are primarily concerned about immigration.
• 78 Percent of small businesses took green measures this past year; recycling paper and trash were the most common measure.
  Overall, 73 percent of small business leaders are optimistic going into 2008 dipping slightly from 75 percent in 2006 and 79 percent in 2005.
  “We have been tracking the search habits of SMB decision makers since the launch of our Web site, and we’re excited to report that search is now their dominant source of business information. This indicates how deeply seated the Internet is as a primary business tool. Search is where they start the research process and increasingly, search is where they find the best answers,” says Kathy Yates, CEO of AllBusiness.com.

  “Given so many pessimistic forecasts about interest rates, the housing sector, oil prices and a potential recession, we’re also gratified to see a dose of optimism within the SMB community heading into 2008,” Yates added.

  SMB Barometer stays steady and growth oriented

  Launched near the end of 2005, AllBusiness.com’s SMB Barometer provides a numerical figure that measures overall SMB health by reflecting the combined values of five components, including staffing plans, business real estate trends, business branch plans, technology investment and overall business outlook. The barometer reading is currently at 63, the same that was reported fourth Quarter last year signaling continued optimism.

More and more people are choosing the internet as their first choice to look for local businesses. Go to Yahoo Local and type in ‘pizza’ along with your address and you’ll have all the pizza restaurants within a 10 miles radius of your address. There isn’t an offline medium that offers that kind of power and convenience.

Millions of people use search engines everyday. Today, the world is a global market place; working around the clock and across time-zones. It is therefore critical to have potential clients find you. The question is how to stand out and ensure that your offering is seen by consumers who are precisely looking for it?

Google’s advertising programme is called “AdWords”. It is used by thousands of businesses of all sizes in India and worldwide, to reach new customers in the most cost-effective and targeted way.

Link baiting (or linkbaiting) is the latest buzz word in the SEO world and has come to be the preferred way to natural link building.It means to create something that naturally attract backlinks for your web page by getting people to talk about it, discussing it on forums, blogging about i, posting it on del.icio.us/Furl/Digg/Shoutwire and linking to it from their sites. It also attracts a lot of visitors.

comScore, a leader in digital media measurement, today released its monthly qSearch analysis of activity across competitive search engines. In February 2007, Google Sites captured 48.1 percent of the U.S. search market, gaining 0.6 share points from the previous month. Yahoo! Sites maintained its second place ranking with 28.1 percent of U.S. searches, followed by Microsoft Sites (10.5 percent), Ask Network (5.0 percent) and Time Warner Network (4.9 percent).

Text links have a lot of value for optimal spidering, and site map has importance to help search engine robots reach website’s deeper pages.

Search engine robots cannot click a button, submit a form, pull down a menu, or perform any other type of online ‘user interaction’ that might be used by a human visitor. They are able to index the text on a page and click through hypertext links. A navigational text link is added to web pages (often located at the bottom of the page) to enable the search engine robots with another means to click through the links of web pages when it cannot access these other types of navigation.

Recently, yahoo's spider crawled the search engine and changed many website's ranking. What's the reason behind this is that Yahoo now following the same strategy which was done by Google one year back.

Yahoo has one difference in changing the algorith is that algorithm valued only Paid advertisement through which yahoo can get more and more revenue from advertisers.

1) Less appearance of Website with Money Keyword in Natural Listings.


2) Top 10 website are not much related to keywords.
3) More money keywords website will be appeared on ads (on left hand side of search engine)


4)Main intention is to acquiring the more clicks on ads.


5)Money Keyword such as " Buy, Order, Purchase" will appear less in natural listing (top 10).


6) Crawling and Updating time has been increased (Approx 90 days)

One year back Google did the same but Google also valued those websites which were coming through organic results along with adword results.
