Audio streaming – hot new marketing method, or lowbrow waste of time? Remember back when HAM radios were popular? Neither do most people, because they never were popular. Since personal audio streaming via the internet has only recently become popularized, many people are still unfamiliar with the concept.

As an Engineer I have always been fascinated by the simplest answers to complex problems. The poster boy for this of course was Albert Einstein when he coined his famous e=mc?. Recently I spotted a reference to an article which stated that search does not follow the 80/20 rule, which I do agree with. In terms of search, the long tail is a key factor and not the bulk o
There are many different types of META tags but the one that can affect ranking are the Keywords META tag and the Description META tag.
Keywords META tag:
This tag contains keywords relevant to a page. In the past search engines referenced this to determine how to rank a particular page. However many people started to abuse this and stuffed the tag with keywords that were not relevant to the content of the page. This confused search engines and subsequently returned weaker search results. To combat this less and less emphasis has been placed on the Keywords META tag. However this does not mean that it is entirely useless. Here are some reasons to still include it:
* Some search engines still use it
Although most search engines do not use the tag there are undoubtedly still some that do. For this reason place around 15-20 keywords relevant to your site or page into the tag. Do not attempt to cheat the search engines by repeating keywords as this is considered spamming and they may look unfavourably on this.
* Account for misspellings of keyphrases
People can misspell certain keyphrases that you may be optimizing for so it is common to place these misspellings into the Keywords META tag. This allows you to rank in search engine results for misspellings without having to represent them on the actual content of your page.
Description META tag:
In the past this tag was used to specify the text that would appear in search engine results alongside the link to your site. Keywords could be placed into this text to influence ranking. However it was abused similar to the Keywords META tag and has befallen the same fate, meaning it is not as useful as it once was. Some search engines do not display it in their results (most notably Google, which retrieves the text from content on your page) and do not use it to rank a site. Having said that some search engines do still use it so again it is a mistake to ignore it completely.

Answers to these web surveys are typed into automated response mechanisms in the form of drop-down menus, radio buttons or simply blank areas for open questions.Web surveys are only worth
