Google Sitemaps enables Webmasters to Directly Alert Google to Changes and Additions on a Website and that’s just one of 7 Benefits.

Telling search engines about new pages or new websites use to be what the submission process was all about. But major search engines stopped using that process a long time ago.

Google has for a long time depended on external links from pages they already know about in order to find new websites.

For webmasters and website owners Google Sitemaps is the most important development since RSS or Blog and Ping, to hit the Internet.

Using RSS and Blog and Ping enabled webmasters to alert the search engines to new additions to their web pages even though that was not the primary purpose of these systems.

If you’ve ever waited weeks or months to get your web pages found and indexed you’ll know how excited we webmasters get when someone discovers a new way to get your web pages found quicker.

When Flash came along…

Millions and millions of years ago, man created an invisible entity, a power to which the world would kneel down and worship and would change the lives of everyone forever. Some called it the ‘World Wide Web’, but by some it was known only as ‘The Internet’.

In it’s early days of life, the Internet was slow and ugly and rarely reared it’s head in public. But over time it began to grow and flourish. It adopted HTML to promote it’s power and ideas, picked up CSS to fashion it’s wardrobe and used directories and Search Engines for PR. Soon, the Internet had a whole team behind it – a list of acronyms only a madman could contemplate.

But something was missing. There was no movie producer, no director to push the Internet to the big screen. Until Flash came along. Hailed as the saviour, the messiah – the chosen one!

Right I’m going to cut the insane metaphor here. Flash was not a saviour – it simply opened doors, many of which shouldn’t have been opened. It made bad websites worse, and generally made good websites… different.

Love is to share one’s self
For when in times of sorrow, love is to still spare a thought for others.
Love is to share one’s thoughts.
Love is to take time to care, even when your schedule allows not.
Love is to share one’s hope.
Love is to give your all, even though sometimes this isn’t seen.
Love is to share one’s dreams.
Love is to make more friends then to make enemies.
Love is to share one’s pain.
Love is a doorway to an infinite life of tenderness and fulfilment.
Love is to share one’s hapiness.
Love is a quality we all posses, although a quality not always to hand.
Love is to share one’s fears.
Love is but the seeds of an oak tree, for if planted with care,
will grow so strong no wind or storm can ever uproot.
Love is to share one’s sorrow.
Love is someone’s who’s special in every way
Love is to share one’s joy
Love is one’s perception of a meaning of a word.
Love is to share one’s tears
Love is much more than a word, love is what we are.
Love is to share one’s life.

Hello friends,I keep on roaming on the internet for learning new things which gave me very good exposure to the business world and marketing world.I have luckily got this article while i was randomly surfing on the internet.I would like to share it with you all.

Before I even begin to commence on this tiring and inevitably pesky subject, I would like to make clear that this isn’t a tutorial or much in the way of decent advice, but more of a question. I never feel I’m up to the standard as either a designer or businessman to be dishing out the advice, so I tend to approach subjects from an inquisitive, unbiased 3rd person perspective.

I don’t know how to sell a website. I know how to build a website. I could sit and talk to you for hours about web design, in person – writing articles can be too time-consuming, though all in good time. But as for selling a site to a hopeful future client, there’s no exact science, but perhaps an art.

From the tiny amount of business experience I’ve gained from my time in this world and as a freelance designer, one of the most important lessons I’ve learnt, although not always acknowledged, is not to waffle and geek it up. The client doesn’t care if you’re using valid XHTML 1.0 or AJAX, if the site is designed in a ‘Web 2.0′ style or uses semantic, table-less mark-up. Hell, most clients couldn’t care less how good the site looks as long as it works and doesn’t cost too much.

It makes me cringe just to write that, but it’s true. It makes sense though. If I were to reverse the role, I was the client and someone was selling me a new boiler. I couldn’t really care less what new fan-dangled eco-friendly technology some box-heads in Germany have managed to condense into a chassis half the size of my existing boiler. I wouldn’t particularly bat an eyelid to the fact it has a touch-screen digital control panel or an ultra-sensitive air density thermometer (now I’m really making stuff up!) At the end of the day, all I want to know is that it works and won’t cost me the arm and leg I so invariably care for.

If there were any other snippets of advice I could give from my own experience selling a site, they would be as follows:
