Updated Google every second?
Larry Page, one of the Google founders, was
asked recently about Twitter and responded
with an answer that was extremely
interesting. He said he always thought
Google need to index the web every second so
any search would almost be in real-time.
That sounds almost impossible, but say what
you want about Twitter, for web applications
that generate changes so dramatically, a
useful search engine in theory needs to
provide that kinds of indexing speed.
So in the future, a change to your web site
might be on Google a couple of seconds after
your key your change!

major new website development for sparqs.
The development

CMS extensively, with multi level
subsections
- The Clearing House system to showcase key
documents
- The Blot event booking system, to list
events and allow online bookings
The site uses a great graphic design from our
friends at Studio 9 and you can see it at www.sparqs.ac.uk.

| Google website optimizer |
| |
Here's a brilliant tool from Google.
If
you've ever wondered what would happen to
your success rates on a page if you changed a
heading, some text or maybe an image,
Google Optimizer can help you find out.
It allows you to store several different
versions of a page, each with a different
version of the feature you are considering
changing and the outcome you want to happen
when a user lands on that page.
The optimizer then tracks the traffic to the
page and which version generates the highest
number of your preferred outcome.
It takes a bit of setting up, but can be
invaluable if you can find out what really
works in getting your visitor to do the thing
you want.
