Google updates its User Interface
May 6th
Google is in tight competition with bing (Microsoft) in terms technology and market positioning of its products, recently Google has updated its User Interface which is much similar to bing.com search results pages. Even though this option is available with earlier Google search results page under web options but they make it available now.
I feel Google is just imitated the Bing search results page but somehow i like the way bing results are presented may be due to color combinations or font sizes, it has more web 2.0 look now, who knows Google might make more changes to its interface in near term.
Optimizing Website Load Speed
Apr 21st
Recently, Google released the news regarding the inclusion of website speed as one of the parameters for website search engine ranking. This means that websites that load up faster than others have the chance to rank higher than the other websites. Along with unique Meta titles and Meta descriptions, having a faster webpage load time can also help your website land on the top spot, which is supposed to be a good thing. However, according to the official Google blog, there is little to no changes in the ranking after implementing this new parameter.
The addition of site speed as a parameter for search engine ranking is good. Unfortunately, not all bloggers and webmasters are aware of site optimization. This situation can lead them missing their site’s search engine ranking completely, which is not a good thing.
However, if you intend to keep your site’s ranking as high as possible without flunking this new parameter here are some things you can do to make your website load faster than the rest.
- Convert multiple images into big image using CSS Sprites. Using CSS Sprites can help reduce the number of concurrent connections and it will make your site load up faster.
- Reducing your image size is also a great way to increase your site speed. Huge images take awhile to lead. Smaller images load faster. If you keep your images small enough to see then your site will load faster that having gigantic images.
- Your site speed can also increase if you sign up with a web hosting company that has a fast server. Web server plays a big role in your site speed. If your web hosting company has, a slow server the tendency is your site will load longer. However, if you signed up with a web hosting company that has a faster web server then your site will load up faster.
- The cache system can also help your site speed. Cache system is a system that stores data for future use. Retrieving data from the cache is much faster since it is already stored.
Site speed may not affect search engine ranking greatly. However, if you keep your site speed faster than usual more people will come and visit your site, which increases your site’s popularity.

What is a Glue Record?
Apr 14th
When you look for a DNS report for your domain at dnsstuff.com, you sometimes might get errors like Glue Records not found for the name servers listed. you will be confused to see this error, if you do everything perfectly also you will get this error, it is very simple to fix this error.
A glue record is the IP address of a name server mentioned at the domain name registrar. They are required when you wish to set the name servers of a domain name to a hostname under the domain name itself.
If you want to set the name servers of domainname.com to ns1.domainname.com and ns2.domainname.com you would need to also provide the glue records (i.e. the IP addresses) for ns1.domainname.com and ns2.domainname.com.
If you did not provide the glue records for these name servers then your domain name would not work as anyone requiring DNS information for it would get stuck in a loop:
What is the name server for domainname.com? -> ns1.domainname.com
What is the IP address of ns1.domainname.com? -> don’t know, try looking at name server for domainname.com
What is the name server for domainname.com? -> ns1.domainname.com
…and so on.
With the glue record in place the registry will hold the IP address and the loop will not occur:
What is the name server for domainname.com? -> ns1.domainname.com
What is the IP address of ns1.domainname.com? -> [IP Address]
To resolve this simple point your name servers with A records to the IP addresses assigned. i mean full name server like ns1.domainname.com to A record to its respective IP address. when you do this Glue Records not found error will be solved and no 2 times look ups for DNS, your sites will load faster.
