It shows top keywords where spammers should spam. For any keyword that appears at Google Trends, spammers create the pages in several websites. Some most popular spots for Google Trends spamming are: Digg, JumpTags, Zimbio, and Hubpages. There are many other websites which are personally run just to spam Google Trends. Spammers make hundreds of dollar everyday by spamming Google Trends keywords.

How can you use Google Trends?
Even if you’re not a spammer, there are several uses of Google Trends. You can use it to compare within keywords and websites. Mentioning Google Trends keywords at your articles or other online materials may increase in your search engine visibility.

How Google Trends lists top keywords?
Google records each keyword searched and verifies if it is being search by different IP. If the keyword is being search by different IP every time, Google recognizes it as a popular keyword and lists it at Google Trends. Suppose people (about 100,000) search keyword “Wixade” through http://www.google.com/search?q=Wixade, the keyword “Wixade” will be listed at Google Trends.

Yes there are many features offered by other search engines including Yahoo and Live. For Yahoo visit http: http://buzzlog.buzz.yahoo.com/buzzlog/, and for Live visit: http://a-list.msn.com/.

What Google Chrome Misses?

with one comment

Many of you may have already used Google Chrome and found the difference between it and other internet browsers. For those who are yet to test Google Chrome, here are some features you’ll miss with some screenshots while using Google Chrome.

No History List
If you are currently using Internet Explorer or Firefox, you can see a button to the right of forward button which opens the list of recently visited pages. This list isn’t available in Google Chrome which make difficult to browse recently visited pages. However, if you click on forward or back button for around two seconds, the your recent browing history will appear. This feature isn’t what Google Chrome misses but actually has modified it.

No Properties on Right Click
How often do you use Right Click > Properties on your browser? Talking about me, I use it too often that internet browsing without it cannot even be imagined. Google Chrome misses it. You cannot view the property of document, image, or any link. When you right click on a document, you cannot see a properties option there which makes you unable to inspect the property of any item.

No Feed Reader
Though I cannot create any screenshot for this drawback, I will try to explain it. Google Chrome misses feed button which allows you to subscribe to respective feed in Internet Explorer or Firefox. Google Chrome cannot read XML files. When XML file is opened in Google Chrome Browser, it displays a plain test whereas in Internet Explorer and Firefox, RSS feeds are parsed properly and displayed to make it readable.

Conclusion
I believe Google hurried to release Chrome. It should have waited few months more to develop some strong features to defeat it’s competitor like Internet Explorer. However, being an open source browser, you can add any feature into Chrome. In default, Google Chrome has nothing new to offer.
