Getting Google to notice your ebook - 0 views

  • but Google eBookstore suddenly gives booksellers a reason to at least wade into SEO.
  • But what about new books and ebooks? How does Google determine which new titles, and the more than 15 million books that have been scanned, float to the top of its search results pages: in the web search box and in the ebookstore. The challenge, for Gray and other Google engineers on the Books project, is that the best known component of Google's algorithm for determining the the value of a web resource -- the number of links to it by others -- does not apply to books and ebooks. Although it is possible to link to a selection in certain books on Google Books (here's a hyperlink into the aforementioned Galbraith title) people don't generally create links to the contents of a book or ebook. So linking is not a reliable indicator of quality.
  • One strategy that Google employs is to tap into the book industry's "rich tradition of metadata.

  • Google also looks at what Gray referred to as "market signals:" how often a book has been reprinted, web searches, recent book sales, the number of libraries that hold the book, etc.

    The Power of the Link
  •  
    I think the writer touches on two things that are very important for Internet readers: they want to see something else and they want to see what's next. Yahoo, Drudge, Google -- these sites update regularly, and they update frequently. Readers/users who visit these sites are looking for something new, something close to whatever they were previously reading, and they are looking for it to come to them quickly.

What Will Prepare Us for Web 3.0? - 0 views

  •  
    Found this interesting, if for no other reason than as proof that the world at large is thinking about the implications of moving even past Web 2.0 and on to Web 3.0 (My apologies -- while I have referenced the article as translated by Babelfish, the original article is in French so the English may be a bit choppy; the ideas seem to remain intact, however, and the author's speculations about the future of the Web are interesting). Original link, for those who read French: http://pro.01net.com/editorial/506930/que-nous-prepare-le-web-3-0/
