Google has started to update Google Analytics (a free online tool from Google to measure the website traffic for free). As a beginning, they did changes in look of the report displayed and now they have started to tweak all the inner report modules.

They have stared with the "Map Overlay". Previously in the first step, they show only the main continents and after when you zoom into the places, you can get the exact count from each place. Now in the very first step of "Map Overlay", they have added most of the big cities and countries. Just mouse-over it and you can get the exact traffic details from that place (state/country/continent).


Take a look at the below image,

What are Meta tags?

These are the tags that will be available in the head section of the website. This mainly helps the search engines to find what kind of website is this and much other useful information is inserted into it.

New Meta From Google:

Now you can inform Google about a expiry data of a page. The new meta tag is “unavailable_after”. This information is not released officially and we are waiting for it.

Using this meta tag, you can tell the search engines from which date they should stop crawling the page. Hope this is a useful meta tag.

Hurray!!! This is my 100th posting!!!

Two cool new update from Google, especially from search algorithm,

1. Google Video Search Update
2. Google Image Search Update

Let me explain about these two update in this posting below,

Google Video Search Update:

Now, Google-Video is more than a search engine, they have changed the look and feel similar to the Google image search. If you search for any video in Google video search and click on the link, a frame will open at the top and inside the frame you can see the actual page with the video embedded in it (this may be a YouTube or a Google video). Now why are you waiting for, try and find yourself the new update from Google.

Google Image Search Update:

This is something interesting, where you can set a filter in Google image search result. Any guess what the filter is? Mm… I think it is tough to find, let me reveal the secret, the filter is "face only". Confused? Let me explain, open images.google.com and click on "Advanced Image Search" and select the radio button to "faces". Now search for your term and you can get results that contain faces. I think is a cool update! Try this at your end.

Update

Apart from the update, Google is in the process of purchasing many companies and some of the recent purchases are,

"Zenter" a company that create software for online slide presentations

"Grand Central" which helps to organize your phone numbers to one number

Hope this list will increase :)
All the best, Google!
