Make your site easier to navigate
The navigation of a website is important in helping visitors quickly find the content they want. It can
also help search engines understand what content the webmaster thinks is important. Although
Google's search results are provided at a page level, Google also likes to have a sense of what role a
page plays in the bigger picture of the site.
All sites have a home or "root" page, which is usually the most frequented page on the site and the
starting place of navigation for many visitors. Unless your site has only a handful of pages, you should
think about how visitors will go from a general page (your root page) to a page containing more
specific content. Do you have enough pages around a specific topic area that it would make sense to
create a page describing these related pages (e.g. root page -> related topic listing -> specific topic)?
Do you have hundreds of different products that need to be classified under multiple category and
subcategory pages?

Popular engines focus on the full-text indexing of online, natural language documents. Media types such as video and audio and graphics re also searchable.

The idea was to find out the fastest browser(s) at performing the major tasks that browser engines are expected to perform. The basic requirements were HTML, CSS, JavaScript, basic DHTML and images - if the browser engine was not capable of performing these tasks then I am not interested and it was not tested.

The tests are not perfect. Obviously nothing can be perfect. But they do give a very good idea of how each browser would cope in each type of situation. Importantly, the tests were not (intentially) tailored towards the strengths or weaknesses of any particular browser.

Cold start
This is the time it takes to do a cold load. I log out then in, and then once all background processes have completed, I run the browser as the first program. I use the default settings for the browser, without preloading or quicklaunch tools (unless the browser installs itself this way, as with Internet Explorer on Windows). The browsers are all set to show a single page on startup, and this page is a locally stored basic HTML page.
Warm start
After completing a cold start, I close the browser, then time how long it takes to start again. I restart it again another two times, and take an average.
Rendering CSS
To test CSS rendering speed I use a CSS benchmark test devised by nontroppo. The test measures the time it takes the browser to render a page consisting of almost 2500 positioned DIVs. The page is stored locally, loaded once to pre-load it, then reloaded 3 times, and the average time taken for those three renderings. The page is the first page loaded after starting the browser (after logging out and in). All browsers took significantly longer during the initial load, which is why I discount this initial load, as it does not reflect the reality of normal rendering.
Rendering table
To test table rendering speed I load a local copy of my javascript libraries page. I ignore this first load and then go back and click the link again (ensuring the page and all associated files are cached). I then use a script to time how long it takes to render the page. I take the average of three loads.

From a humorous perspective, it is interesting to note that IE on Windows is slowing down, in the majority of tests. Browsers that use the underlying IE engine (Maxthon or Avant, etc.) generally make IE slower, although Avant manages to make an increase in scripting speed. Opera 6 was also slightly faster at rendering simple pages than Opera 7-9 on windows and linux, but this is easily outweighed by its slow and outdated script support, lack of reflow and progressive rendering, slower image and network handling, and slower history on Mac and Linux. On the other hand, Mozilla has clearly improved a tremendous amount since it's original 1.0 release (which was actually slower in most respects than its Netscape 4 ancestor), but it still has a lot of catching up to do before its scripting engine can match Opera's. And it still has competition. Opera's already faster scripting engine nearly doubled in speed in the 8.0 release, and remains fast in the 9.0 release. Opera 9 is actually very slightly slower than Opera 8 in the JavaScript speed, but because I round the time to the nearest second, you will not see that in the tables. The change in speed seems to be caused by the address bar being visible in the popups test, so hopefully it will not have a noticeable affect on any real Web pages.

The guide is not a primer on ways to trick or "spam" the search engines. In fact, there are not any "search engine secrets" that will guarantee a top listing. But there are a number of small changes you can make to your site that can sometimes produce big results.

Natural language processing, as of 2006, is the subject of continuous research and technological improvement. Tokenization presents many challenges in extracting the necessary information from documents for indexing to support quality searching. Tokenization for indexing involves multiple technologies, the implementation of which are commonly kept as corporate secrets.
Challenges in Natural Language Processing

Word Boundary Ambiguity
Native English speakers may at first consider tokenization to be a straightforward task, but this is not the case with designing a multilingual indexer. In digital form, the texts of other languages such as Chinese, Japanese or Arabic represent a greater challenge, as words are not clearly delineated by whitespace. The goal during tokenization is to identify words for which users will search. Language-specific logic is employed to properly identify the boundaries of words, which is often the rationale for designing a parser for each language supported (or for groups of languages with similar boundary markers and syntax).
