Resettlement of Agriya to a new awesome, attractive and user-friendly site
You probably saw it: Agriya Infoway has got a new site, with a completely different appearance, new functions, new classifications and brand new design, in fact.
The question that you probably wanted to ask is very short: “why?” Why Agriya wanted to change this site? The answer is also very simple: to suit more users’ needs. The new features added to this site are designed to make this site more “friendly”, for everybody and everything: more “user friendly” and more “SEO Friendly”.
The more important change can be seen directly from the first page: the site is looking now much more attractive than before, thanks to a younger and more dynamic layout. Even the icons are bigger, and texts are less intrusive.

As “Agriya service offer” is changing (a few services are now added), this list needed to change; it is now fully representing how we imagine our business: lively, young, always changing.
This change of site features had also another purpose: to fix what was not working. With this new version, you will not have again the broken links that you used to have in the last version. All those problems disappeared, and the new site, which is now working fine, is looking more professional.
“SEO” is the key word for these new site features: the ROI (Return On Investment) was quite low in the last version of the site, because the conversion rate was not as high as expected. It means that the browsers that turned into customers were not enough. Now, everything has been done to improve those two ratings.
We also put the emphasis on the customer: the new site features are designed to make the customer’s action much easy. For example, buying a product was not totally easy. Now, a “customer cart” was added: it will surely improve the conversion rate, and it will be more “user friendly”.
Last reason for site change: as Agriya Infoway evolved and changed, its internet site needed to show those evolutions and changes. For sure, the products are still the same: YouTube clone, Facebook clone, yahoo-answers clone, webcam recorder script and so forth. The main changes are elsewhere: the services provided by Agriya that includes social network, technical writing, project consultations by dedicated project managers, SEO marketing and quality assurance for your web sites, flash/flex development for audio or video streaming, customization of open source software, design for your website, or web development and enterprise solutions for your projects.
This list has never been so long. It shows the internal revolution that Agriya is facing, and, of course, it can explain why the site needed to be changed.

Why do we need a sitemap?
Is a site map necessary for a website? Yes of course. If a website has hundreds of pages, it can get rather chaotic in a navigation bar. Apart from this, both human browsers and search engine spiders need an easy access to find all the pages within a site. Therefore a sitemap is very essential. It gives them a simple navigational tool.
Lack of a sitemap may be the reason why your site hasn’t been completely indexed. If you are using many pages, some search engines have a difficulty in indexing them. So a site map makes it easier for a search engine spider to find and index every page on your site. It will surely improve the search engine optimization of your site.
So, what is a site map? Site map is a textually organized model for a website content that allows the users to go to the website to find what they require. It doesn’t need to include all of your web pages but should include all the site structures.
With a little effort, you can create a Sitemap for your site. Here comes some important guidelines for enhancing the sitemap.
Provide a sitemap to your users with links that point to the important parts of your site. This assists the visitors who are using a sitemap as a quick and easy means to find the information.
Provide short description about your products and services at the top of your site map page. This can be a nice introduction about your services for someone who has landed on this page directly from a search engine or else where.
Use layout for your sitemap page as it will provide a clear visual structure for your website.
Make sure that your sitemap is updated frequently. As your website grows, you must update your Sitemap. It helps your visitors know that a new content is being added to your website. If you are selling products or offering services, this is one of the greatest ways for the users to know your latest products or services by visiting your Sitemap.
Without a Sitemap, your visitors may even leave your site, going back to the search engine pages, to look for information that may be in your website. So create an effective site map even if you have a website with few pages and thus grab more visitors.

Google chrome Vs Internet Explorer 8
Google Chrome (web kit based web browser) and Internet Explorer 8 are recently released web browsers by the giants Google and Microsoft. Chrome and IE 8 both deliver a strong platform for reliable running of multiple web apps in a tabbed format in answer to the web’s evolving needs.
Do we really need more browsers? Yes, because it can add more value for users and help them drive innovation on the web. This article gives some information about the latest browsers.
Google chrome beta web browser:
Advantage: Nice look and feel, fast, tabbed browsing, advanced security.
Security: Google promises that the Chrome is extremely secure. There’s a privacy mode called “Incognito” in Chrome. It allows you to secure the Pages whatever you view in the main window by not displaying in your browser history or search history, and it won’t leave other traces, like cookies, on your computer after you close the incognito window.
Usability: It has a single box for Search, history and address bar.
It facilitates tabbed browsing. Tabs are positioned at the top of the window. This will make the navigation faster and easier. Apart from this, Chrome displays 9 most visited web sites and sites most often searched on the home page.
Performance: Chrome uses a new JavaScript engine called V8 for faster performance.
It is much faster at showing Web pages than the most widely used browser, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer
Drawbacks: Its major drawback is poor performance, particularly when users open multiple web pages.
Internet Explorer 8 beta:
Advantage: Tremendous browser leader in full functionality.
Security: It has a great option called InPrivate browsing for extra secure when browsing the web. It helps to prevent your browsing history, temporary Internet files, form data, cookies when you’re using someone else’s computer or using a public computer.
Usability: It facilitates search suggestions. As user searches for a keyword, relevant images and text is displayed which allows user to get single-click access to the web page without having to leave the Search box.
Tabs in IE8 have been improved to provide a good platform for easy browsing experience. Here tabs are automatically grouped together using color codes belonging to the same site.
It has a nifty feature called Web Slices. It facilitates to add just a portion of a web page (like sports scores, weather report) to your favorites and keep updated by clicking on the slice
Performance: Accelerators enables you to access directly from the webpage in the context of what you are doing, letting you bookmark, email, map and more with a simple selection.
Drawbacks: Its biggest drawback is designed strictly to industrial standards, and web sites that use deprecated HTML or designed with reduced functionality.
Here is the comparison chart for Google Chrome and Internet Explorer 8.

Bottom Line
Google Chrome represents a fresh take on browser design. Its fully isolated, multiprocess architecture should prove more robust than IE 8′s, while its clean UI and lack of legacy baggage – plus some innovative JavaScript tuning – should help it gain a strong fan base. What remains to be seen is how Google will exploit its technical advantages for its own applications without alienating customers who have standardized on other browser platforms.
Internet Explorer 8 takes Microsoft’s creaking browser architecture and injects it with some much needed life. The sturdier, multiprocess design means that most crashes will be isolated to a single tab, while the new “porn mode” and quick-access tools (Accelerators, Web Slices) make browsing more efficient. IE 8′s hefty system requirements could slow adoption until Windows 7 debuts late next year.
One more search engine in the market: Cuil
Nowadays most of the people go to the internet to find information whatever they want because it offers the wide variety and quantity of information to them. Search engines help them to find the information using keywords.
There are large number and variety of search engines such as Google, yahoo, msn, Microsoft etc which helps you grab the global audience to your website which may be developed for personal and business purpose.
Among these competitive search engines, one more search engine christened as Cuil has come to the field. Cuil was developed by former Google engineers. It is wholly different from other search engines mainly as Google for page ranking, because the Google will give more priority to inbound links in WebPages but Cuil will give more priority to content of the WebPages rather than link popularity.
It displays the search results in more friendly way, as you can view the results in two or three columns. Also provides a list of categories related to the topic, using which the exact site can be identified without the deep knowledge in the search topic.
A well search engine has to deliver not only text results for viewers but also it should offer images, videos, audios and news. But Cuil seems to lack this option. At present it delivers search results with related thumbnail image when compared to Google.
Google delivers more relevant ads and has more advertisers in its system but Cuil doesn’t offer any ads on its page.
Privacy policy of Cuil states that it does not store records of users’ search activity or IP addresses whereas other search engines stores this information.
When compared to other competitive search engines, Cuil lacks lot of things. This article represents the feedback on the Cuil compared with other competitive search engines. The feedback is given with the thought that it should help in improving the Cuil in future.
