Amazon To Shut Down Alexa Web Search
Alexa the web search company from Amazon is shutting down its operations. The service is already closed to new customers, and existing users have until January 26, 2009 to move on to something else.
In an email to the developers it says the reason behind closing the Alexa web search is due to its low search. On the Alexa Web Search site itself Amazon mentioned that the service has been "deprecated", which is a fancy word for shut down.
The email:
Dear Alexa Developer,
The Alexa Web Search service will no longer be available to new customers as of November 26, 2008. Use of the service is low, so we are shifting our priorities to other areas where we can provide better service to AWS customers.
The Alexa Web Search service will continue to be operational for 60 days until January 26, 2009. The ProgrammableWeb website offers a list of web services that provide web search.
We apologize for the inconvenience to you.
Thank you,
The Alexa Web Services Team

Boost your site traffic with Publicity Wheel
If you are looking to boost in traffic and exposure for your website at absolutely no cost you need to check out for this cool website Publicity Wheel. It is a new startup that adds a new spin on promoting your website. Mark who built edutagger, a K-12 social bookmarking site for educators and Fame Experiment also built the Publicity Wheel.
The concept is so simple, just sign up and provide some simple details about your website and upload the banners (125 x 125 pixels, 200 x 200 pixels and 468 x 60 pixels) and then your banner may well be seen on other members websites thereby resulting in more exposure of yours website. Each time they spin, a new site is selected which features on the banner image or text link that users places on their websites. Each time if someone clicks on the image you will be gaining a certain publicity points which in turn increases yours chance of winning when they spin the wheel.
This looks like a great idea of promoting new websites to increase their traffic and exposure in the internet world. However the amount of traffic that one receives is going to depend on where the user places the banner ad on their site and how many users are going to sign up for Publicity Wheel. But this is certainly something to look out for newbies.

Validation - MAMA says How often you do this
In the recent webmaster chat Google says that only 5% of the websites are according to the W3C validation standards. Stunned !!. Yes, this might be true guys. Interested to know further read on...
Enter MAMA (Metadata Analysis and Mining Application) a web page search engine which crawls Web pages and returns results elaborating the page structures, including what HTML, CSS and script is used on it, as well as whether the HTML validates.
What Information you get from MAMA:
MAMA intention is to help the opera web browser users with an unique tool which gives live examples of markup and other Web page structural components. MAMA also concludes that it can provide information on discrete issues such as "what is the 18th most popular element?" or "how popular can a Flash be?". For key findings from MAMA visit the link "MAMA key findings".
Now coming to our topic - Do people get everything validated on their website?. MAMA markup validation report says out of the every URL which it has in its data base it was able to validate 3,509,180 URLs in 3,011,661 domains, and only 4.13% of the URL set passed validation (with 4.33% of the domains having at least 1 URL that passed validation).
Some key information in MAMA report include:
1. XHTML Doctype pass validation at much higher rates (13.4%) than HTML flavors (6.6%).
2. A majority of pages specify a document's encoding, and do so via the META markup syntax (89.9%).
3. Doctype flavors pass validation at much eminent rate (17.5%) than Transitional (8.4%) or Frameset (7.2%)
4. More URLs are using Doctype statements. In MAMA's URL set, the number has passed the 50% threshold (51.0%).
5. Most popular detected encodings are iso-8859-1 (43.1%) and utf-8 (26.9%).
6. characters are used that aren't allowed by the detected character set (8.6%) is the most frequent fatal validation error found.
7. The most frequent validation errors encountered both deal with attributes:
* There is no attribute X (64.2%)
* Required attribute X not specified (57.4%)
