Our task is clear: we want to quickly find sites that will best respond to queries made by users. This requires constant refinement of search algorithms, because the Internet is constantly updated with new content, as necessary, and utterly useless.
Most users often do not even notice the changes that we introduce, which is understandable and correct - in fact it important to quickly get the right answer to your question, but as it happens - our concern. But about a month ago, we have made in their search algorithms are significant improvements, which are, and want to tell. Thanks to them, are reflected in the search results more useful sites, and worthy publishers get more traffic. It's now easier to find sites that published research, detailed reports, analysis, and other noteworthy materials. The meaning of change is it to have interesting and useful Web sites had a higher rating.
Testing the new algorithms in different countries was successful. The effectiveness of our new approach is confirmed by the fact that 84% of the results of the updated algorithms coincide with the preferences of users. Now we implement this improvement to all English-speaking Google users. Before you connect the platform to search in other languages to new algorithms, we plan to further improve. We will inform you when these changes are fully implemented in the Russian-language search engine. Do not have long to wait:).

Fortune turned up - in the face of blogger.com or blogspot.com
As I was looking for alternate airport for your blog.
Hello, my dear dear readers, and editors. I am a blogger with experience and until recently was (and probably was ) faithful adherent Livejournal. In 2008, I have not touched the transition to SUP ...
However, after starting sometime in March 2011, has begun to appear periodically Page ... Plus, I have pondered this question, what if someone does not like my writings vZhZh and he wrote in the complaint and note abyuz zasuspendyat me or my ...
I understand that this is paranoia, but still, let it be paranoid than I am then I'll bite your elbows because of someone's undivided political ambitions and worry about DDOS'ov.
...
Of course, throwing Learn finally I thought, since I was in need of their communities and frendlente. Well, then - I, like many old-timers oldfazhnym site, he recalled the time when the grass was greener, the people - the better and the blogosphere did not give a tangible smell the landfill.
Options for services such as a. py or diarrhea immediately fell away - too fresh wounds were received from the psychological shock: I do not know as of now, but five years ago, some sort of sites over the curves and terrible to imagine it was impossible. In general, with Russian host, as I soon realized, it is best not binding - they are essentially a priori, is a sad picture of a totally senseless and merciless: to recall a fly-bitten darkdiary, eerie kind of journals. ru, or touching, but hopelessly stupid blogrus. Mindmix and beon. ru - for a set of.
But still not yet completely desperate to support domestic producers, I tried to explore the blogging projects of large media groups - mail. ru and Yandex.
Russian-speaking segment of the blogosphere dear to my heart because as a Russian-speaking ( kep! ) audience, and not least because of the pride in their home country - like, ...
In the blogs. email. ru les with an internal shudder - at the time of transition on google, I enjoyed it quite a long time mail service, and every day, a thousand times, received an invitation to ...
In the end, it turned out, not in vain - even if you do not focus on vyrviglaznom design, the eye is still there the abilitis limited strikes, and of course the audience: yes, users blogs. email. py ( cap again! ) write answers. email. py.
From the picture by Yandex was better, but not much. In terms of design ( I confess, I like Art Lebedev Studio ) Yandex I was always nice - and in terms of functionality was also significantly better than most, allowing you to broadcast your blog posts from the blog ZhZhshnogo (and with all labels, Khatami and others), integrate with other . e. mail) or even adequately enough to edit notes. About the audience will not say anything bad - I confess, did not have time to study: during the two evenings played with by Yandex, I came to the conclusion that a) it is impossible to post the music, b) there is very scant clearance, and c) site for fans of gorgeous red ...
Ran - and collapsed, realizing that my imagination is temporarily dried up, because I have exhausted all my blogging friends Resources. Learn useful in the search for unknown to me its analogs - where else would you find such content?. ) - And quickly found something in a couple of dozen sites - straight from the tin and, to the happy madness of foreign.
Soon the happy posterous. com - a very minimalistic, elegant, unobtrusive. Good functionality, easy integration with other resources ( I recall there was even a possibility comments via openID, though I lie ), an extensive system of import content from other hosts. All would be nothing if posterous ( they apparently expected that the name will sound like ... ) Was not actually speaking, an extended version of Twitter - in fact, the name symbolizes, as it were - I just with my posts under the string of characters allowed, it somehow lacked the.
Another similar to it was a resource tumblr ( not to be confused, please, with ramblr) - then the concept of a mini- blog is not even hidden, so briefly were the possibility of a handwritten set of design and the specific system of separation of posts ( the variety is called blogging tumblelog - don't ask me .
Already having understood with respect to grades, and, in principle, enough in this business full of all, I still did not give up the search - and soon came across another two saytik, one of another beautiful.
Soup. io - a very nice ( much like the original, and now deceased Learn vox. com) site, has clearly inspired ( me, for example, it is nice to think that this was not insane greed ) of the Titans mini- blogging like Twitter (and fifty of its analogues ) to actually Livejournal'a. This, too, ... Round Five for the fans of the mini- posting - and a very unique service to post photos.
Jaiku. com - the very first seconds on site, I found a fatal property projects a la twitter: tape disyllabic posts at the bottom of the home page, click enticing «Join now» and the main beacon of microblogging - a word feed. Twitter itself, by the way, like plashechkami disdain - disdain and it is, IMHO, the correct. My first impulse was to leave and not return - but scrolling through the bottom the home page and noticed there is an encouraging sign Google Inc. I decided to stay. Briefly ( same article is not about this ), Jaiku was the first since Twitter - and if I where to be and passed to the micro-blogging, so it is with her : a lot of very innovative any usability, user-friendly interface, does not yield the same flick, and more .
After these findings, the courage I added 5 points - and, realizing in which direction you want to work, I climbed to the native and respected google.
Yes seeker shall find, as you know - and then I really turned up success - in the face. blogger. com. or blogspot. com.
What site is immediately captivated, it is designed - as a general hosting and design blog features. Generally, in google followed up an adequate solution of visual elements - in particular, adding integration with picasa, enabling auto-save to an album of pictures of all zaposchennyh. On this chip, of course, does not end there:.
2) Of course, integration, import, export to other systems.
3) because of the same corporate profits, the service is easy to get in touch with google. docs - and, of course, uses a single password to all. google. -system.
4) The service supports multivodstvo, that is with one account, you can create multiple blogs. Most - Something for nothing. Me - its weight in gold, because from childhood feared put ...
5), a wonderfully useless usability to change URL - amused readers will seek to let!.
6) lack of advertising - fighters against the dominance of the Internet will be very congenial.
7 ) Finally, a rare skill that is available for the most part extremely stendelonschikam - placing contextual advertising, with the subsequent earnings. A friend has this makarom khalyavnykh beer a month - and the profit.
In other blogspot quite extensively copied LJ - although, in contrast, made more for the Chukchi pischushih: the search for enough of the curve ( and is unlikely to require the majority of Russian-speaking blogosphere ), and no community ( but there is a ...
Bold plus for me - the administration is so invisible that the question is: ...
This concludes the dramatic story of their ordeal. For more than six months to write and blogspote krosspostyu Learn. During this time - no crashes, no closure, no half-hour loading home page.
Of course, no blogspot Learn definitely will not replace - I'm still punctually I go back to reading frendlenty.
PS. Yes, as my eyes came across a praise - stendalon sites like joomla and wordpress - but I was afraid they.

In Germany, the debate about state subsidies for the development of alternative energy
According to the Advisory Council on the Environment of the Government of Germany, at the latest by 2050, Germany can switch completely to the production of electricity from renewable sources. What is it - a bold prediction and the actual script? . Without subsidies, the successful development of the industry, specializing in the production of electricity from solar or wind energy, according to experts, it is impossible. However, these state grants, but rather their distribution in Germany is growing skepticism.
By 2050, no coal, oil and the atom.
To keep the pace of global warming and avoid abrupt climate change, the industrialized countries, according to experts, have a 95 percent cut in emissions of greenhouse gases. In Germany, 40 percent of CO2 emissions from electricity generation accounted for.
According to the chairman of Advisory Council on Environmental Faulshtiha Martin (Martin Faulstich), to achieve one hundred percent transition to renewable energy, that is, rejection of nuclear power, oil, gas and coal by 2050 - can be. According to him, this plan is feasible from a financial point of view, but in the long run - such a strategy is more economical. ' The case for policies that should apply clear signals and to devise a system that encourages a transition to renewable energy ' - he said.
The policy gives the wrong signals.
Expert advice on ecology consists of seven university professors, and advises the Government of Germany since 1972. Scientists believe the Board is now German politicians come from the wrong signals. Experts believe that the decision to extend the service life of German nuclear power plants and the construction of new coal-fired power plants may jeopardize the development of large-scale energy production from renewable sources.
In addition, scientists have criticized the politicians for the wrong allocation of subsidies. For example, in Germany, solar cells produce only 10 percent of the total amount of clean energy. However, the PV leaves 40 percent of all donations designated for alternative energy.
Therefore, according to a member of the advisory council Kathryn Holm -Mueller (Katrin Holm-Müller), subsidies for the production of electricity from solar energy should be significantly reduced, especially in view of the rapid development of these technologies. ... - Further development of these technologies are no longer dependent on state subsidies in Germany '.
Solar panels at low prices.
Due to low prices and at the same time subsidies from the government, in 2010 the total capacity of newly installed solar panels across the country has reached 7 GW. In the most favorable weather conditions, this could correspond to the six power plants. But the fact that in Germany, the sun always shines with sufficient intensity, so this ideal is never reached index.
Whatever it was, but in 2011 the total amount of subsidies for alternative energy will grow and will exceed 13 billion euros. Most of the increase of these subsidies are financed by raising electricity prices for consumers. However, according to experts, the emphasis should not be on the increase in subsidies, and their more efficient use of.
It is much more profitable to produce photovoltaic electricity from wind energy. But now in the industry, according to the head of the Federal Wind Energy Association Albers Herman (Hermann Albers), slump. ... - This, of course, does not cause us great joy and did not meet our expectations and projections '.
The crisis of wind power industry?.
At the end of 2010 in Germany, there were about 22 thousand. wind. The share of energy produced in the total energy of the country amounted to about seven percent. Last year, it was found just 754 wind generator, which, according to Hermann Albers, the same level as in 1999.
Among the reasons for the decline he calls an early arrival of winter and the effects of the economic crisis. In addition, to install new wind turbines become more difficult due to the strict rules that limit the height and increase the distance between them. As a result, it is difficult to find suitable land.
Against this background, the debate about the possible reduction of subsidies for the development of alternative energy is now at Hermann Albers disturbance, as well as plans to introduce common standards for EU grants. At the present time, we increasingly difficult to enter into contracts for 2012. Who knows in what conditions we are working. And some banks even refuse to finance our projects ...
Shared in the Albers criticism the Council of Experts on Ecology at the Federal Government. In the opinion of its members, subsidies should be done more consistently and reliably. Otherwise, the necessary transition to renewable energy sources and consumers may question.

About Business, Marketing and gurus
Long time I did not write anything useful about marketing, but strictly speaking, and writing, there is nothing. The crisis has reduced the marketing activities of companies and projects, interesting solutions became virtually. Now more and more prefer to point promo shots with immediate effect, it is understandable, but now money is short. You can write a post about the organization of marketing research, but it did not work one day, and on my last trip to allocate as much time I can not, therefore, the practice of marketing research for later.
Speaking of studies. From the beginning, the number of requests for field work has declined, while those that come to offer such ridiculous budgets, we must admit that we have worked on in the best case would be a profit of 1,000 rubles. ( month, killing time) or even a minus, so at this point is the direction at a loss.
In the near future going to arrange cleaning of banks, which serve as a juridical. face. Like the court of the crisis, must fight for customers, as they impair the conditions, and how! .
Time is now considering proposals for commercial banking products of interest to me.
How nice to realize that there are successful and interesting to me businessmen who think and act in the same vein that I. Here Tinkoff, one of those people. By the way, he spoke in the same way about Richard Branson... even one of my. business guru. (hereinafter referred to quotes from the interview):.
- You wrote the foreword to the book by Richard Branson ( British entrepreneur, owner of Virgin Group of Companies. - Ed. ), Was at his lecture in Moscow in November - you know him from?.
- I'm with him just to skate skiing in Verbier, here next week. We just friendship with him - I feed him energy, and not as from a businessman, but as a human-. We had talked about the business, well, maybe 10 % of the time. Because, in my opinion, his business is no longer interested in.
- You too?.
- In general, yes. Why do we communicate with him - because I share many of his values, not only in business.
Still very pleased with yet another statement about the relation to the work and values - almost 100% the same as mine:.
- What values are inherent in you. in business. ?.
- It should be more fun. Ski. plump. A business - this is such crap. Businesses need to do as little as possible.
Business should be enjoyable, but we have plenty of rest. What do you get plenty of rest - so you're better than working. I'm talking about business, not about the managers who are clamped outside of work, and certainly not of any employee who has, unfortunately, from bell to bell, the salary. but there is no accountability, and.
If we translate this quote to me, skiing on a snowboard can be replaced, and all the rest leave. The work (my business) need to work is not strained, but the work itself needs to have fun. A lot of pleasure - this is a good atmosphere in the home and leisure, travel, friends, and much else. If the work does not bring you pleasure, what you remember in my life... those wretched islands of happiness that you're cut out for annual leave, and that if this vacation was a success? .
That's something like about the business.
Yes, there is still a strong feeling that Fall 2009 will be sooo difficult in financial terms, I'm a bit written about this in the post of. Egyptian seminar. , Anxious feeling there is still. :-(.
Yesterday I asked my readers. what browsers they use and why?. Since the early incarnation of this blog in November 2008, statistics on google shows that 32% of blog visitors are using Firefox, Internet Explorer - 26 %, Opera - 23 %, Safari - 12%, everything else is detail.
Of those who commented on this topic, so far mainly use Mozilla Firefox, which converge to the statistics. And now I will start giving away their debts promised by commentators.
I'll start with Dmitry aka kalinigradtsa. MasterX. , The owner of an advertising agency, web- studio project for booking hotels, a popular personal blog including earnings on the network, video bloggers, etc. Dr.. and m. n. He was the first t. to. most appropriate under the theme of this post. Though he still is not my business guru;-) but reading his blog ... $ 10,000 A MONTH. ... However, I still have not lazy to go hiking, but m. to. it seems like older than me for a couple of years, God knows, may at his age, and I will score all the adventures in the mountains and forests with a rucksack on his back. :-).
cop:. where else podcherpnut information about the crisis, if not. Site of the economic crisis. ?. One of the topical issues '. What will happen to the insurance market?. '!.
