Zanran is an interesting search start-up that both indexes and maps the numerical content-finding ‘semi-structured’ (as they put it) data on the web. Such data could be a graph in a PDF report, a table in an Excel spreadsheet, or a bar chart shown as an image on an HTML page. Currently, the search engine extracts tables and images from HTML, PDF and Excel files. In the near future it will also process PowerPoint...
I guess one may have a different definition of "SEO web hosting" than mine (most people refer to it when talking about different C-class IPs). The way I see it is that an SEO-friendly hosting is one that provides a reliable platform for your website. That's it. Get Webhosting from HostGator for as little as $3.96 per month. Click here for the 20% discount! Again, this may sounds somewhat “cliche”, but your website hosting...
As of today, there has been an interesting update coming from Tweet publishing Tool Buffer. The app was reviewed here on SEJ a few months ago. It allows you to add tweets to your Buffer which are then posted at conveniently spread out intervals throughout the day. So you can add a lot of tweets in one sitting without drowning your followers in a flood of tweets. One of the pitfalls...
Another Google search option has been made a little more internationally friendly. Back in March, Google Chrome added support for the HTML speech input API. This API enables developers to give web apps and Chrome extensions the ability to transcribe your voice straight to text. When a web page uses this feature, you simply click on an icon and then speak into your computer’s microphone. The recorded audio is...
Putting together a decent, well informed look at what’s currently trending can be a cumbersome and irritating task. For many online marketers or webmasters who want to jump on the “what’s popular” bandwagon, it means a lot of time consumed investigating. You have to do a lot of surfing to discover what sites are visited most, which ones have a higher Alexa ranking, and how many comments and re-shares have been earned. In some ways, the...

Since the time I wrote a post on searching for highlighted text in FireFox, a lot of new, similar tools have made an appearance. However, none of them seemed to really offer anything essentially new... until I discovered today’s fun little addon. KwiClick is a handy tool that lets you choose among four of your favorite search engines, which pop up next to your selected text. KwiClick streamlines searching to ...
Google News has become a coveted resource for news websites, from major networks to tiny blogs, and it isn't hard to see why. Information passes at the speed of light, and Google has managed to dominate from all sides of the field. Not only do they provide news and entertainment in one place, but they also have endless RSS feeds. Google let’s you select and personalize your RSS feeds to the point that you’re only...
Finding exactly what you’re looking for through Google can be a rather hectic experience. We tend to pick broad, random search terms hoping we’ll find something close to our objective. We then start clicking through the results, then click through the search suggestions, then the related searches, and on and on…until we forget where we started and are at a loss at how to proceed. This post is aimed at offering a good actionable system through...
As you may know, I’m Ukrainian - which means when I do searches on the internet, I use two languages: English (mostly) and Russian. This also means I’m constantly shifting back and forth between the two languages. All this switching inevitably leads to many instances where I’ve forgotten to swap to the intended language before typing the search term and clicking “Enter.” If you have at least two languages supported by your keyboard, I’m sure you’re...
