Revamped Digg.com

This was one news which I thought to post on Tuesday but somehow got delayed.

Digg.com - the social media website revamped its home page. This home page allows users to see both news and video on a single page.

Daniel Burka, Digg's creative director added in his blog that the new page aims to address user complaints that videos have been hard to find on the site.

"Bringing[videos] back into the stream on the homw page will hopefully bring more life to videos on the site," Burka wrote. Also Burka added that the users can now customize their view based on their preferance to news or videos by setting either as their default home page.

Digg tweaked the story summary layouts and the navigation. The streamlined navigation provides more customization options. And one more interesting news is Users now can vote down stories without choosing a reason, Burka said.

Can your outbound links kill your page rank?

For many of us, Page Rank is nothing but the quality and quantity of inbound links for a website.

Oops! - That is the biggest misconception. The search mammoth Google recently updated its rule for the links. Google no longer encourage link building traits.

Be keen on your outbound links. One common misconception is that giving away links to useful web resources will attract the visitors. Don't think you are smart! You will be haemorrhaging your Page Rank because you don't get a vote for yourself. Please make sure that your links include the "nofollow" attribute to instruct Search Engine bots that the link is not a vote for the web resource.

Will be discussing the "Page Rank misconceptions in the next post"..
