This is a TRUE, SUCCESSFUL & UNREQUESTED story from George Harris, one of our customers. "Mr Harris presents a very interesting Case Study on a Manual Action Recovery, where he outlines the fact that webmasters need to be perseverant and the recovery will finally happen. Lots of webmasters fail at Google Recoveries due to the fact that they expect it to happen after their first Google Disavow or Link Removal campaign. It may take a few reconsideration requests until you get the re [...]

In this in-depth analysis we are going to highlight some interesting findings about the Google Penguin 3.0 Update. Although speculations have been on since early summer, it wasn't until this fall that Google's representatives said it loud and clear : Penguin 3.0 is rolling out! It's true that "it’s a slow worldwide rollout, so you may notice it settling down over the next few weeks" and it's also “ affecting fewer than 1% of queries in US English search results." as the Google guys announced [...]
One of the “fathers” of modern anthropology, Claude Lévi-Strauss, once described the scientist as “not a person who gives the right answers, [but] one who asks the right questions.” Scientific progress, by extension, might be measured best not by the answers we get, but by the questions we ask to get those answers. Questions are maybe our best tool in relating with ourselves and with the environment. Asking questions says not so much about the problematic nature of our environ [...]
Even since we are in kindergartner until we take our grandchildren to visit the Natural Science Museum, we try to learn something. Luckily, learning is in our human nature. We try to learn something about everything and everything about something. And I think that this is great. Yet, what is even greater and maybe more meaningful is what we do with the things we've learned; how we make use of that information and how we change our course of action according to the data that we gathered.

Image Reading and Object Recognition in Images is an important task and challenge in image processing and computer vision.

Fortunately, we are all different. This means that different users require different necessities, and therefore, different dashboards and displays. After being closely in touch with our clients, we realized that "one-size-fits-all" dashboards are quite difficult to read and use. As nothing brings us as much joy as a happy customer with healthy search engine rankings, we started working on a new dashboard, based on the idea that it should be fully customizable to fit our clients needs. After long [...]
Last time we looked at the Google’s Answer Boxes, we came up with quite a handful of interesting observations. However, we couldn’t quite give you the best explanation of what it takes to get your website on the position zero, as some named it. We gathered you needed to be regarded as an authority site, but what does that really translate into? The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' but 'That's funny...' - Isaac Asimov So we [...]
Google Indexation is one of those matters that not many understand completely but, one way or another, everybody needs it. Why do I say that? Although I know you are already familiar with this piece of information, let me remind you that: When your customers are doing a Google search, they aren't actually searching the web.
