More webmasters are becoming aware of the need for having Google sitemaps to get their site listed quickly and efficiently in Google. While this has caused a recent rash of Google sitemap creation tools Cheap Domata Peko Jersey , most focus on the Google sitemap alone while ignoring other extremely useful formats. Most webmasters never pursue the power of the Yahoo sitemap, the HTML sitemap, and 'forget' to update all of their multiple sitemaps frequently.
HTML sitemaps allow all of the search engines to spider all of your pages Cheap Ronald Leary Jersey , but this is often the most overlooked format. Search engine spiders do their thing by scanning your HTML pages and following the links from those pages. This cycle continues until all pages are scanned... in theory. Imagine all of the pages on the internet, and even with the best hardware, search engines have problems keeping up with every website. They have to do something to shave a few seconds off their day here and there. One way they limit their time on any one site is to only scan so deep into a site.
When Search Engines reach your homepage they follow the first set of links. From these pages they follow the next set of links found and so on until they have spent enough time on one site then continue on to the rest of the web. If they haven't found all of your pages within the first few passes Cheap Colby Wadman Jersey , they move on until they return at some point. One common strategy for the HTML sitemap is to have every page of your site link to your sitemap and for your sitemap to link to every page of your site. This creates a very spider-friendly atmosphere that allows them to find all of your links quickly. Keeping your HTML sitemap up to date allows every Crawler out there to find your newest pages quickly.
The Yahoo sitemap format has been around a while and is much simpler in format than Google or the HTML format. Yahoo only asks for each URL of your site to be on a new line in a plain old text file on your server. It is easy to use Yahoo's URL submission page to enter the URL of your Yahoo sitemap and get them to look at your whole site. Once submitted, Yahoo comes to check on your sitemap and begins crawling your site in it's entirety.
Using the Yahoo, Google Cheap Jared Veldheer Jersey , and HTML sitemap formats, you can be assured that your site will have the best exposure possible in the search engines and your traffic will not be limited to what you get from Google alone. There are many search engines out there and all of them offer you traffic. If you are concentrating on Google, you may lose the other engines where your competition is gaining ground.
One of the biggest hassles of growing your website is keeping all of your sitemaps up to date. This is a monumental task to perform by hand and while there are a growing number of Google sitemap generators out there Cheap Connor McGovern Jersey , only one service offers a single solution for all sitemap formats with zero risk of 'forgetting' to update your sitemaps regularly. Whichever solution you choose to make this task easier on you as a webmaster or SEO professional, be sure to cover all of your sitemap formats and get the maximum exposure for your website.
The New Flat Rate State Pension - Is It Worth It? Finance Articles | July 29, 2013 The reform of State Pensions gained pace earlier this year with plans being put forward by the Government to be discussed in Parliament. The second reading Cheap Phillip Lindsay Jersey , which was due on 17th June, would then mean that an MPs' committee would look at the proposals in detail. So this is not yet ratified and changes could well be made.
The reform of State Pensions gained pace earlier this year with plans being put forward by the Government to be discussed in Parliament.
The second reading, which was due on 17th June Cheap Jeff Heuerman Jersey , would then mean that an MPs' committee would look at the proposals in detail. So this is not yet ratified and changes could well be made.
So what is this proposed new single-tier State Pension all about, why is it being introduced and how will it affect you, if at all?
Key reasons why the Government want to change things are:
- The existing system is complex
- There are high levels of means-testing
- It creates inequality Cheap Justin Simmons Jersey , eg women overall tend to have a lower State Pension than men.
So they want to introduce a system that aims to make matters simpler, fairer and be easier for people to plan ahead by having more certainty about what their State Pension will actually be.
The changes:
- The proposed new pension will be £144 per week in today's money compared to around £110 per week now
- You will need 35 years National Insurance (N.I.) contributions, not 30 as is the position now
- You will not qualify for any pension if you have less than 10 years N.I. contributions
- Only your own N.I. contributions will be taken into account Cheap Adam Gotsis Jersey , so no claim is eligible on a partner's working history (married couple's pension will be abolished)
- All top-up pension arrangements will cease (such as State Second Pension)
- It is possible to build qualifying years even if you take time out from working to raise a family
- You can no longer defer taking your State Pension in exchange for a lump sum
What hasn't changed:
- Your pension will rise in line with average earnings, the Consumer Prices Index or 2.5% as at present
- You will still be able to delay your pension in exchange for a higher pension
So when are these changes due to take effect?
As mentioned, although the finer detail may yet be altered Cheap Jake Butt Jersey , the current expectation is that the new higher flat rate pension will be introduced by 2017 at the earliest.
