I've seen several good posts already with predictions for 2006 in the world of search engine optimization and internet. http://www.stuntdubl.com/2005/12/27/seo-2006/ http://battellemedia.com/archives/002149.php some of them... 1.viral link attraction - “under the radar†text link purchase 2.user generated content 3.bashing pagerank 4.on-page naturalization 5.â€non-seo†links 6.trusted links 7.content with links exchange 8.geovertical targeting 9.community reviewed content 10.url rewriting for user appearance and viral distribution If you find other interesting links post them here
I don't have many predictions for 2006, but I seriously doubt Google will bash pagerank. I don't understand how or why they would do that. If I get my site to a PR 5,6, or 7, and then Google suddenly "bashes" pagerank, I and a bunch of other webmasters are going to be pissed.
58% of the top brass in the U.S.military say hip-hop hooray to the resident for his refusal to set an artificial time table for withdrawing security guards from home depot….
Not even remotely funny... even though theres a bunch of big-players out there who's going to suffer sooooo much harder than me if it happened. It's a scary scenaria. For democracy, for free Capitalism. Period. Make it go away Andrea.. please...
My predications are, Virus activities will hamper our joy and will lead to misunderstanding between users and internet (WWW).
MSN and Yahoo will launch full fledged programs competing with adsense. And so, Google will pay me a million dollars to keep displaying adsense
My predictions: 1) AJAX/rich media product-specific ad units (something better than Chitika). 2) More Niche Search Engines/applications, possibly even using Google's data. 3) Not a lot of headway by MSN in 2006, maybe '07-'08. 4) Yahoo re-vamping the Overture interface. 5) Google announcing some kind of distributed computing applications available to the public. (possibly productivity software -- for example, instead of using Microsoft Word, you could use a Google Word AJAX style application, or Google Spreadsheet). 6) Increased convergence of Mobile Telephone and regular Internet services. 7) Some public prosecutions of more spyware or email spammers. 8) A click-fraud expose that has a negative impact on Google's stock.
thats a bold prediction devAngel but certainly within the realms of possibility there will be no internet taxation this year - breath easy
