Writely - A Research with Google

Have you heard about Writely.com? Many of them are not aware of this website. I came to know about this website very recently, so I thought of wiring about it. But while gathering information for this posting, I found some interesting things that I wanted to share with you all.

What is Writely.com? Writely is the previous version of "Google Docs". It is the word processor which can be accessed through a web browser. As per the story described here and here, Google purchased Writely.com and renamed it as "Google Docs and Spread Sheet" by adding many more useful and important features. The complete history can be obtained from Wiki.

The above is the usual story and it happens everywhere. But now comes my research part,

Why 302 Redirection?

Every webmaster knows that 301 "permanent redirection" will help in search engine ranking and indexing, but why Google is not following this procedure? I was wonder after checking the status of www.writely.com; it is showing a 302 redirect to docs.google.com. Why this is so? Anyone please help!

Site:www.writely.com

After seeing the 302 redirect, I just check the site: query for www.writely.com. Now take a look at the below image, Writely.com still have 600 pages in Google's index, but the surprising thing is there is no "Cached" link for each URL in the list. How come this is possible? Anyone please answer!


More about Writely

You can get more information about Writely.com from Wikipedia and the story is very interesting, take a look at them. Some of Writely's blog postings can be found here.

Web 2.0

This may be the beginning of new era in internet marketing world.

What is this web 2.0?

These is no specific definition for this now.
We can call the current internet marketing trend as Web 1.0 (just a thought).

Right now, webmasters were doing a great research on this topic. Because there are news (may be rumors) saying that this could me the next generation of internet marketing. So start collecting information about it and promote your websites and blogs.

Oops! Still I have not revealed what is meant by Web 2.0! Sorry! Here we go about it,

Putting it in simple words, it is defined as "the type of websites that interacts with users" is categorized under Web 2.0. To make it more simple we call it as "Interactive Websites". For example, YouTube, MySpace, Del.icio.us, Digg, Squidoo, etc. These are some of the websites where we can create our own page/content/feeds.

It is predicted by some senior webmasters that these kind of websites going to help in search engine marketing. So start contributing and earn good rankings in search engines and other directories.

Some of my tips to make your website to enter the "Web 2.0" internet marketing technology,

1. RSS – Create well defined dynamic feed
2. Blog – Create blog in most popular websites
3. Script Work – Add some interactive script to make your website more live and attractive
4. Booking mark technology
5. Many more like… YouTube, MySpace, Del.icio.us, Digg, Squidoo...

Hereafter I will be posting many suggestions and update on this topic, of course about Google also.
