Google,Microsoft to clean up the web

As all we know that,whenever a person searches something on the internet it sees a lot of pages for its corresponding search.The msot frustrating thing that any user found about these pages,that many of them contain the same content that means there exists a lot of duplicate content on the internet.But now Google,Microsoft and Yahoo decided to take measures on this,according to them support a new web standard that will allow millions of publishers to remove duplicate pages from their websites. As a result of that, search engines would be able to make their search results more comprehensive.According to Google,this problem arises due to the e-commerce companies that having multiple URLs that all point to the same page.Now to cope up with this problem Google came up with a simple way for web publishers to indicate when a URL is a duplicate, and if so, which is the principal, or "canonical," URL that search engines should be indexing.Now after this all search engines start modifying their search engine in this way.

Google and Yahoo join hands

The hottest news of this week from the field of technology is the agreement of Yahoo and Google on their advertising partnership.Currently this agreement is valid only in United States and Canada.On the other hand Microsoft Corporation have claimed that Google already controls 70 percent of the Web search ad market and that a Yahoo deal would give Google control over 90 percent of the market.Under this agreement Google would supply Yahoo with advertising services to run alongside Yahoo's own Web search system. Yahoo runs the Web's second most popular search service.
Google
and Yahoo have sought to portray the partnership as a non-exclusive arrangement in which Yahoo is effectively contracting with Google to sell ads alongside a portion of its search results.With this agreement now Yahoo can focus on other aspects of its business where it is more strongly positioned.Neither Google nor Yahoo told about the financial terms and the extent of other ties between the two.While the contract reveals details of previously disclosed plans to make Yahoo Messenger and Google Talk, the companies' instant messaging (IM) systems, work together, it redacts four of the five other points in this "other business" section.
